MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARBOOK LIST COMPARES HITLER AND BIN LADEN TO…GEORGE W. BUSH
theblaze.com ^ | 06/02/2011 | Billy Hallowell

Posted on 06/02/2011 4:09:10 AM PDT by massmike

A quasi-scandal has broken out at Arkansas’ Russellville Middle School. The school’s yearbook featured a list of the “Top 5 Worst People of All Time.” Some of the world’s most horrific murderers and maniacs were included: Adolph Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Charles Manson…

Few people would argue that these individuals don’t deserve a spot on that roster. Each went on murderous rampages and were, arguably, mentally-imbalanced.

However, it‘s the list’s last two names that are causing a stir: George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. The former president and vice-president don’t seem to share many characteristics with the other men they were clumped with.

Once the yearbooks were printed, the district attempted to remedy the alleged oversight. KLRT-TVhas more:

Superintendent Randall Williams calls the list “an oversight.” Parents caught it after the yearbooks were printed. The district’s solution was to cover the list with tape. It didn’t work.

“Really?” said Williams when told the tape could be pulled off. “Well that’s disappointing because the yearbook supplier told us this was a definite fix.”

There’s no word yet on potential disciplinary measures for the teacher responsible for managing the yearbook’s production process, though the principal maintains that it was an accident.

He can’t be fired.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Exactly! And...It’s darn hard to get rid of any teacher. That is one of many reasons why government schools must be shut down. Lock the doors. Sell the buildings. Make them into assisted living centers. Or...Raze the buildings. Dig up the foundations. Salt the earth where they stood.

If conservatives truly care about the future of this nation, they must must must work to shut down every government K-12 school in this nation!!!!

Every ( that means **ALL**) government schools in this nation are godless in their worldview, socialist-funded, and managed by the voting mob people’s collective. Simply by attending children learn to be comfortable with socialism, collectivism, voting mobs, and they **WILL** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must simply to cooperate with the classroom indoctrination.

Every ( that means **ALL**) government owned and run K-12 schools in this nation are educational, political, moral, ethical, and spiritual MONSTROSITIES! **ALL** of them!

Are you seriously suggesting that Catholic schools are the same as Madrassas?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yes! He/she is. And, all the other Christian schools and Christian homeschools that dot the landscape.

By the way, I bet he ( or she) is a government K-12 teacher. ( That's my bet.)

Children reflect what is in popular media. This “poll” means virtually nothing except that the MSM is accomplishing some of their propaganda goals.

Shame on the people of that school district...when their intelligence is insulted like this, does it not anger them?

...I agree with the year book, the George W. Bush and Dick Cheney administration will go down in history as the nail that closed the top on the coffin of the Republic.

Sigh.

I suppose it's a sign that conseravtism has become mainstream...we have our our own kooks.

...Just ignore it. It is just a stupid school-kid prank that ranks somewhere around fart jokes and should receive no more attention than that.

You have officially become part of the problem.

Garbage in...Garbage out..U.S. Public Schools, and G.W. Bush channeled billions and billions of dollars to fix the problems and they don’t even appreciate it.

What would you like me to say?

How about, get your head out of the sand, serve honesty, truth and Christ, not the republican party and the bush family.

Do not be willingly stupid, we would not have obama if Bush and his justice dept had done their jobs.

I hear what you are saying, but I feel it’s a bit worse than that scenario. You see one can’t blame a party or a candidate if there is no other course then just give up. It starts at basic government. Where the people should be most involved,it seems to be too boring to them. Yet we all know that town government eventually have people who run for state and federal positions. This is just what sarah did. Let’s stop attacking the top, when it’s the base or bottom that’s the problem. Hope you’ll understand.

Oh...Please remember that our earliest socialist and collectivist government schools ( mid-1800s to early 1900s) offered up a generic and lukewarm Protestantism. What did this teach children? It taught them to be lukewarm and generic about their religion! What does Christ do with the lukewarm? He spits them out of His mouth!

followed by:

Yes! He/she is. And, all the other Christian schools and Christian homeschools that dot the landscape.
 
By the way, I bet he ( or she) is a government K-12 teacher. ( That's my bet.)

last i checked, protestants were Christians. "spits them out of His mouth"?? yea... you should really stay on the meds.

as for being a govt school teacher ... rotflmao

This is a strawman and I can not defend a strawman of your creation. I have never implied or stated that Protestants were not Christians.

"spits them out of His mouth"?? yea... you should really stay on the meds.

This is a personal insult and again it is impossible to respond to debating tactics such as this. I would suggest, though, that you do a Google search on the phrase "spits them out of His mouth".

If you are a government teacher, government teachers consider themselves "professionals". They would never use personal insults or strawman arguments against emotional immature students who would be completely incapable of recognizing these debating tactics. To use strawmen and personal insults would be definitely be a form of emotional child abuse and a "professional" government teacher would never do that.

It is not the base or the bottom that is being discussed here, it is a middle school putting Bush in something other than ehro status. That would be the same George Bush that gacve us the TSA. I ahve no use for him, he is jsut one more commie, just like his dad, a big govt leftist.

strawman? you’re the one that brought up protestantism as a ‘lukewarm’ religion that Christ would spit out of His mouth. yea, that’s not nutty

as for the ‘personal attack’... think of it more as an observation.

stay on your meds... you’ve obviously been lax in taking your prescription

That was not what the category...it was Top 5 Worst People of all Time. “Top 5 Worst People of All Time.” Some of the world’s most horrific murderers and maniacs were included: Adolph Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Charles Manson”

So you feel Bush and Cheney belong on that list and have no problem with children being taught as such?
