One day when picking my kids up from middle school, I noticed a glass display cabinet housing several pictures and commentary highlighting african American icons. It was February, and I took time to look over the display. These were ALL liberals such as shady sharpton and his justice brothers sidekick jessie, as well as a host of others.
Not a single mention of Clarence Thomas or any other conservative black prominent person of color. Mind you this was a few years back.
When I inquired about the choices for display, no one would answer as to why no Conservatives were represented.
I asked if it was a display of black history or a display of black socialists?
Needless to say, I was given a cold shoulder at every parent teacher conference to follow.
Thank God our daughters had an early private Christian school upbringing to root a foundation.
“I noticed a glass display cabinet ... highlighting african American icons. .... These were ALL liberals.
“When I inquired about the choices for display, no one would answer as to why no Conservatives were represented.”
I asked the same question at our local Post Office a few years ago when every postage stamp had a liberal tone. The U.S. Flag Forever and a flower were the only two that weren’t offensive. Like you, I got no good answer.
When my kids were entering middle school, they were required to make a “pinwheel for peace” as their first project that would then be stuck in the school’s front lawn.
When I objected and suggested an alternative project, “windchimes for war” (at the suggestion of another FReeper) I had a parent-school administrator meeting. The kids’ guidance counselor and my ex-wife were both brought in to “manage” me.
I just love being “managed”.
