The teacher is an idiot, but the child has obviously been Godwashed by
her parents and/or church. I'll bet the flag, by itself, might have
been allowed. What wasn't allowed was a flag inundated by God Bless
America (TWICE, no less), One Nation under God, and In God We Trust.
It offends me, too. (God 'n I get along just fine. It's the religious
freaks who try to push him/her on everyone most of the time that I
have trouble with. Stormin Mormon and Amway salesmen, y'know?) The
media have found another scapegoat to hunt.
When are you folks gonna turn off your TV sets and stop buying into
the hype that they call "news", hmm?

Oh, sure. Like I want all those Danielle Steele novels and _The Lesbo
Love Lush of Lower Ludlow_. Uh, huh.
I have a wide range of reading interests, from histo-political (_The
Genius of the People_ is on one of my 5 to-be-read stacks) to scifi to
science to wooddorking to metaldorking to woo-woo (as my ex-BIL called
the psychic world) to health to nature. Anything interesting. I just
picked up _Backroads of Oregon_ and want to go for a drive now. But
I'm too busy. <sigh> Owning businesses is a mixed blessing, but I'm
sure you know that. I need 6-8 weeks off to let a stress fracture of
my left index metatarsal/phalangeal joint heal, but even The Chosen
One's Obamacare won't help me there. (No, it's not from wearing
high-heels, silly girl.)
Whatcha got? Maybe we could swap boxfuls. (No 2-way trips. That gets
too expensive. If it's a keeper, keep it.)

Offensive to ideological subversive movements that have taken control of our
educational system at all levels. Obviously the teacher disregarded the
childs
2nd ammendment rights which can only be remadied by involking an involentary
carrier change to spare future students the verbal chastisement this
educator has
in store for any pupil whos ideology does not align with hers.

Part of the problem that allows teachers to assume positions of authority
then foist their idea(l)s upon students is that some of them are
literate. Few of the general population of middle-school teachers are
actually well-educated; true enough, even though they have "degrees" in
"general education" (more of a description of the character of what they
learned, than the scope of what they'll do). But more of the radical
types are functionally literate than the "equal-pay-for-all-regardless-
of-skills" types.
Some of "us" who condemn them are not. Those who are not have no right
or ability to fight back, using illiterate, inane commentary. It has no
use, and exhonerates the radicals' positions.
I wholeheartedly condemn what that teacher did. I can also write a
cogent, well punctuated and properly spelled treatise on why I condemn
it.
Get a book.

I can't imagine how much pain would come from putting a
stress-fractured foot into a high heel and walking.

I'm getting jaded but teacher in my mind now is synonymous with indoctrinator. There are
agendas and education is a battleground. Thank God my teachers tended to be libertarian
and conservative for the most part.

I have one Danielle Steele novel. Saw a picture of a propeller and bought it on impulse
at Waldenbooks. Wife at the time laughed her ass off. Told me who Danielle Steel is and
what her genre consisted of.
Not sure if ex-wifie read it, she seemed to like bodice rippers.

You got it right. We really dont have many true teachers left.
Most of todays teachers resemble the UAW members of the 1970's.
Illinois House kills school voucher bill
Fervent lobbying by unions sinks idea to give students $3,700 to switch to
private or parochial schools
May 05, 2010|By Ray Long and Michelle Manchir, Tribune Reporters
SPRINGFIELD - A measure to let students in Chicago's worst-performing and
most-overcrowded elementary schools use taxpayer-funded vouchers to attend
private schools was defeated in the Illinois House on Wednesday, giving
teachers unions a major victory.
The landmark legislation would have made Chicago Public Schools the site of
what experts said would be the nation's largest voucher program. Up to
30,000 of the district's 400,000 students could have left the weak schools
they now attend, setting up competition for public schools.
The legislation got through the Senate in March after being championed by
Sen. James Meeks, D-Chicago, and suburban Republicans. But by Wednesday,
teachers unions had regrouped and its supporters found themselves pleading
with opponents to overcome a furious lobbying effort to stop the bill.
