since the big parade was on the weekend BEFORE their walk out, they intentionally took school days off for something they could of done on the weekend!!! screw-em...
" . . . one of the greatest gifts we give to immigrants and their families is a free public education, and it shows extraordinarily poor judgment for those who have received that gift to walk out on it."
Time out from the FReepathon thread to read this!
You'll be glad you did!
So you called his bluff and found out he was holding aces. Welcome to the real world, kiddies.
Good job Superindendent Harper!
Well Done!!!
IF they truly believe what they did was right, they should be willing to pay the consequences. Who said doing what one believes is right means you won't face hardship?
Fact is most of those students didn't think it through, they reacted thinking they'd experience no consequence. Nor did they even protest as a result of careful examination of the issue. Either they did it to skip school, because they thought it would be "cool, or because they were pushed into it. Maybe by parents, maybe by other friends that know no better, very likely by the people that organized these rallies that have a different agenda then these kids are probably aware of.
Regardless, they made a choice and now this is a consequence of that choice. Suck it up, think before you act next time, and be sure you really believe in what you are doing and are willing to face the consequences. I have no pity for people that at very least show an inability to accept responsibility, and that is what the kids whining about this are doing.
They showed a disrespect to this country, to it's Constitution, to the taxpayers that finance their education. Next time protest on your own time, use an AMERICAN flag, and learn what the facts are instead of yelling propaganda.

Well, boo hoo. What a bunch of brats. Have a nice walk.
Mike Harper for Congress!!!
But do they appreciate it?
Well done, Superintendent Harper!
I'm sympathetic with the superintendent, but if the above is true, that girl ought to be excused. It's insane for a government indoctrination center to have more say in what the students can do than their own parents.
How true...
BTTT!
Who cares about going to prom anyway? Just skip it altogether. Go out with your friends to a nice dinner, skip the dance, and go to a post-prom party afterwards.
Kudos to the super for sticking to his guns. The students were warned, and they intentionally went against it. They should have been prepared to accept the punishment for their actions.
I saw the video on the news just a bit ago... It was funny how many of their little protest signs has either grammatical errors, or corrected misspellings.
Maybe they should be spending MORE time in school???
Outstanding!
Three cheers for Supt. Harper !!!!!!!

School officials declined interviews with News 8, but Superintendent Mike Harper told the Ennis Daily News, "one of the greatest gifts we give to immigrants and their families is a free public education, and it shows extraordinarily poor judgment for those who have received that gift to walk out on it."
Mr Harper, YOU are a true American Hero. Get ready to be vilified by the illegal inmigration crowd. But I am glad you stood your ground. Those students need to learn that actions have consequences.
"Thousands of North Texas students skipped classes this week to demonstrate against the immigration bill now being considered by the U.S. "
I believe it should read "Thousands of illegal, law breaking Mexican, America hating "immigrants", posing as students rioted in the streets."
They were warned, they made their choice. Now they have to live with the consequences.
Life isn't fair. (As my wife and I have told our kids, hundreds of times, in response to "That's not Fair!")
