Out of Marin County, Florida, comes a very distressing story about abuse of high school students by school administrators at Martin County High School. On March 16, more than 2000 students gathered on the football field of Martin County High School during school hours when they were mandated to be there. They were made to chant the Barack Obama campaign slogan "Yes, we can!" and also hold up posters with that very Obama slogan. All this was for a video which was then given to the Martin County Democrat Party for the purposes of handing it over to the Obama White House. There was no information given to parents either by notice or on the website of Martin County High School, and making matters even worse than they already were, at least 100 students who refused to partake had to anyway.

Parents interfere with indoctrination so they must be excluded. In fact, it would be better if kids were taken from their parents very early and raised by the state.
That is the Progressive idea folks and if this keeps “progressing” that is what will happen.
This could be a Civil Suit -- $5 million per student affected. So if 1000 students and parents protest, file a $5 billion Civil Suit. This would be against the DNC and the school officials.
Something I expect only in totalitarian regimes.
Tonto: Me smells lawsuit Kimo Sabe ...
Lone Ranger: Thats because of the shit you got on your boots !!!
Our school district here in North Florida just had to pay two athiest parents several hundred thousand dollars because a teacher taught junior high kids a country song called “In God We Still Trust” for an assembly. The parents also sued about a black spiritual called “Chatter with the Angels,” which happens to be in the Florida state music curriculum, but no ruling was made in that case since they had already won the first one.
It would be interesting to see the results if parents tried to sue over this Obama rally. I wonder if they would be the same.
Remind anyone of ‘hitler youth’ rallies?
That isn’t really Florida down there, it is a blight on the entire state!
Time for lawsuits, but not just the school district. Suits need to be tailored to cause individual pain to the decision makers. Otherwise, it will just continue.
Sue and bankrupt them!

This is just stunning. There was an article a few days ago in the Star Tribune about a Minnesota school taking their school kids on a field trip to protest Gov. Pawlenty about something. If my kids were involved in something like this, I would be enraged beyond belief. Children should not be involved in political protests during their school day, and under the instruction of their teachers. Seems to me there are better things to be teaching them.
Stewart Fla. near Palm Beach. No wonder.
Any laws on the books in Florida to prohibit this?
In NJ it would end the career of every administrator who signed off on it, and the supervisors of those administrators, and the school district legal counsel would also fall in to the flames. Some of the county Democrats would also be forced to resign from politics for a few years.
Of course, in Florida, might not have any laws regarding the recording and dissemination of visual and audio media of underage pupils. filmed on campus during school hours, held in loci parenti trust, without explicit written consent by each child’s legal guardian...
To put it in perspective, for a child to have a photo printed in the school yearbook in NJ, a legal guardian, or both legal guardians in cases of joint custody divorcees, MUST sign off on a rather long waiver regarding the reproduction of the image of your child form.
It would seem that the DNC using pictures of each kid without permission would be actionable for that child, meaning hundreds of lawsuits, although I would instead sue for the standard union actor’s fee for an appearance in an advertisement which includes a line, which I think is something like $500.
Most schools have parents sign the rights to videos of their children for educational purposes at the beginning of the year. But there is no way this would be deemed an educational video.
If they sued to STOP the use of their images, they might just get the use stopped, and not win anything. But I think they’d make some real money simply suing for the union-defined payment for services rendered.
Meanwhile, the school should be sued for using school hours and property, and for forcing the children, into participating in a partisan political commercial. And the RNC should sue the school to be allowed the same access to make a commercial, complete with signs that say “Don’t Tread On Me”.
Either the 1st suit will work, or the 2nd.
they need to go after the teachers personally and start ruining their lives
I wonder if there are any pictures of these “teachers”?
