A Massachusetts high school is having a serious debate over the theme of a scheduled dance.

According to WHDH, students at the school in Lexington said that the school administration canceled their ‘American pride’ dance because it may exclude other nationalities.

The ‘American pride’ theme received the most votes from the Lexington High School dance committee. Despite this, the administration is standing behind its decision, saying it’s are willing to tweak the theme in order for ‘everyone to be included.’

With all of these incidents about our flag being “ offensive” the UC-DAVIS controversy last week and other p.c. nonsense, I would bet my last dime that every one of the goofy teachers and administrators and the radical jackals at UC-DAVIS are all registered Democrats.Civil war 2 is coming and I want to see these idiots on the gallows.

Massachusetts was once the home of deep thinkers, patriots, and freedom fighters.

Sadly, over the years it has devolved into a leftist cesspool that produced the likes of Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and Elizabeth Warren.

So it should come as no surprise that Lexington has changed from the birthplace of American freedom into a bastion of “hate America first” idiots.

A “Pride” theme would not be offensive if the implication wre “Gay Pride”, but a patriotic “American Pride” theme is offensive. We are facing pure evil with a coordinated treasonous effort to turn American children away from American values and mold them into little communists, Democrats, and Obama voters. The left disgusts me.

For anyone unfamiliar with the Gay State...Lexington (as in Lexington and Concord) is one of the richest and most leftist towns in the state....chock full of faculty lounge Maoists driving Range Rovers and BMWs.

But they make sure Lexington Green is well kept so it attracts the tourists and their money.

If some of the students in that school are not pro American PRIDE, then they should not be in America and defiantly not in a taxpayer supported public school. Fire that school administrator or whom ever canceled the dance for such a ridiculous claim. If some don’t want to go the dance, then fine, they don’t have to. Get over this PC crap already, it’s ruining our kids.

If it had been “Gay Pride” the principal would have applauded.

I was joking. Obviously the line aren’t worried about offending foreign exchange students. They don’t want to offend America hating liberals, illegals and Muslims. That is the PC crowd.

Liberal bias exposed. They can’t picture an America where everyone is inherently included under “America”.

Like every normal person does.

Not illegals, but people from all over, legally.

If I’m an exchange student in Norway, and there’s a dance about Norwegian pride, am I offended?

You may not be offended but Norwegian liberals probably are.

Personally, if I were a foreigner who busted my ass to immigrate to the United States, I'd be offended at the "all cultures are equal" crap. "No, they're not! Why do you think I came here!"
