Supreme Court's 9-0 flag-flying decision startles, dismays wokesters in Vermont public schools
American Thinker.com ^ | May 15, 2022 | John Klar

National outrage over George Floyd's death was particularly virulent in super-progressive ("woke") Vermont, where schools widely displayed the BLM flag beside the American flag. Unconcerned that this was a blatantly illegal government endorsement of an overtly partisan organization, proponents donned the "hear no evil from constitutionalists" earmuffs and prided themselves on agitating their neighbors by violating the Constitution.

Many Vermonters have complained publicly that this is obvious abuse by government, but school officials have stonewalled, gaslighted, and suppressed all efforts to assert this axiomatic constitutional truth. The state's capital city of Montpelier shamelessly painted BLM on the road in front of the Vermont State House and condemned as racist an effort to display "Liberty and Justice For All" beside it. This is a cohesive, deliberate drive to eliminate basic constitutional guarantees to be replaced with an anti-constitutional ideology: the BLM flag is elevated as a superior symbol.

The United States Supreme Court's recent 9-0 Shurtleff decision, which said the government of Boston discriminated against a petitioner by refusing to fly the "Christian flag," has caught the attention of these miscreants where parents and taxpayers were ignored. A state leader in this patently illegal flag display has been the Randolph Union High School (RUHS). The school mascot was reinterpreted as racist — the ghost rider on a horse looked too much like a KKK member — after the woke school principal draped an actual robe over it to project his racist interpretation onto the community. Now Vermont is pushing a law for the state to oversee all mascots to supposedly "provide positive and inclusive learning environments for all students."

How can the parents allow a school system to employ School Superintendents who are so unAmerican? What a messed up State Vermont has become. A Senator who is a porn author get elected, Bernie, et al.

We have a few liberal virtue signaling white people who stand on the green waving BLM signs. I highly doubt any of them ever had contact with an inner city black person. They stand on the green of their 99.9% white town waving a sign that helps not one black person. I offer them a ride to the city to help black people. They never take my offer.

Lefties stink. Did the Klan ever ride in Vermont? I kind of doubt it.

This is an awesome mascot. Unique and original...

“a child who was considered a leader in the community wore a homemade shirt expressing that disdain. Is that what we want to show our children that that’s what a student leader does?”

You mean......lead?

Yes, that is what a leader does.

In New Hampshire I spent some time with the rural folks in the mountain small towns (not tourists, real year round lifetime locals).

They referred to people in the southern part of the state as “Valley People”.

It was not a compliment.

;-)

I was born in Vermont.

I still own almost forty acres in Orleans County. Nice place. 1000 feet of river frontage on the Missisquoi River. Woods, pasture. Trout fishing, white tail deer. I thought it would be a nice place to retire. Maybe build a little horse farm...

But after retiring fifteen years ago I visited Alaska. Never going back to Vermont. I need to sell that land.

“..So, will these nuts walk up to the Ghost Riders MC and claim THEY look like the KKK?...”

After popping some popcorn, I’d actually pay money to watch it...LOL. It’d be better than anything hollywood is putting out these days.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
