Seriously? Schools to black out Trump's inaugural address
Fox News ^ | January 19, 2017 | Todd Starnes

Posted on 01/19/2017 3:01:10 PM PST by jazusamo

Students at Independence High School in Williamson County, Tennessee, will not be allowed to watch President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration during class on Friday.

Senior Olivia Roberts was so surprised by the ban she decided to write a Facebook post that has since gone viral:

“To preface this, I am not one to post or debate anything political on Facebook but wanted to hear thoughts on this:

I go to public school and we are not allowed to watch the inauguration tomorrow...

Teachers are banned to show it.

Teachers are also not allowed to discuss anything about politics or religions which is understandable but this is a nationwide event in history that I think an a US citizen (whether you are happy about it or not) should be watched to honor and support the president of The United States of America (no matter who it is) And pay respect to the country we are privileged to live in. We watched the last 2 presidential inaugurations in school.”

As good citizens, everyone need to ensure President Trumps portrait is proudly displayed in all of our public schools, city halls, state buildings, courts etc.

DO IT.

Somebody’s shined a bright light on American institutions, and the filth and cockroaches, hidden in the darkness for decades, are finally showing their ugly presence.

LET’S CLEAN UP AMERICA!!!

When Obama was elected in 2008, my daughter was in third grade. Every student got a free "textbook," hard-cover, to keep for their own. It was called something like "American Presidents," and it's cover showed a huge picture of Obama. Honestly, I think that's the whole reason it was made. Just to have a portrait of Obama, and make sure every kid knew he was the President now.

We still have it somewhere, in some pile of books.

I wonder who paid for it? My school taxes, probably.

I’m calling a moratorium on reading these nasty provocative threads while the joy is overflowing in DC.

What a strange situation we have in this country. Conservatives, well, Republicans, control the three branches of the federal government and about two-thirds of the state governorships and legislatures. Yet liberals control the media, the educational system, and cultural institutions.

the kids should all stay home from school to watch it then- and vow not to go back to school UNTIL the school issues them a formal apology

My son is a freshman in high school.

He says they are making them all watch the inauguration in an assembly.

They made each class shorter for the day to make time for it.
