BOULDER, Colo. — About 50 Boulder High School students walked out of class Thursday to protest the daily reading of the Pledge of Allegiance and recited their own version, omitting "one nation, under God."
The students' version of the Pledge "omits the reference to God and adds allegiance to constitutional rights, diversity and freedom, among other things."
Little by little the minority, in this case a couple dozen students, refuses to tolerate the wishes of the majority and files a lawsuit.
The School Board has stated that the students do not have to join in, so there is no reason for this small "Student Worker Club" (sound a bit Marxist-Leninist to you, too?) to complain. They've figured out (especially since the Andrew Meyer affair at UF) that the way to obtain the publicity they seek is to 1) have someone film you as you make a nuisance and complete a@@ of yourself for your personal website; 2) file a frivolous lawsuit under the guise of "separation of church and state" or if that won't work "taking time away from our education."
Come on, children, you can do better than that. Say it's a "hate crime" to force anyone to say the Pledge of Allegiance, at the very least.
Or, you could volunteer to trade yourself for one of the Illegal Aliens in this Country. The Illegal gets your Social Security card and you get to move to Mexico (or where ever).
Can you tell I'm a bit tired of this nonsense?
I know that the USofA will never revert to the way it was when I was growing up, but I surely do not want it to be sucked into some liberal vortex with situational ethics, "Big Brother Watching You," and anarchy. Children are not mature enough to make decisions relating to their Schooling. If children were in charge, then school would consist of six ours of "recess." Or, in some venues, watching movies, since I understand that the alarmists have sabotaged outdoor or physical activities by students for fear that they'll "harm" themselves or "touch inappropriately" or some absurd thing.
Do you ever just want to scream "GROW UP, NINNIES" in situations like the above?
Here's another one!
Democratic Candidates Say They're OK With Second-Grade Teacher Reading Gay Prince Fairy Tale
I'm going to ask you to click on and read the article yourself. But there was one postive statement by someone who wasn't there.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who is vying for the Republican nomination for president, weighed in afterward with a statement accusing the Democratic candidates of being “out of touch” with America.
“Not one candidate was uncomfortable with young children learning about same-sex marriage in the second grade,” Romney said in the statement. “This is a subject that should be left to parents, not public school teachers. We need to strengthen our families by passing a federal marriage amendment and also insisting on marriage before having children. Change in Washington requires Democrats with the courage to stand up to their ultra liberal base and do what's right for our children."
I think I'll go off and scream now. This is just absurd. It's not morally correct. It goes against everything I believe in and 99% of the stuff I do not believe in! However, as they say: Have a good day!
