This Bueler kid sure is stirring the hornets' nest

[Bikers4Bush]

Thank god someone is.

The superintendent quicklybrought in a private investigator, hired by the school district, to help school officials in their investigation.

Since when did schools start using private investigators?

WTF! Was the High Inquisitor not available?

[blanknoone]

The kid is being escorted around by a teacher, and there is a club advisor...someone heard and saw whatever the commotion was. Or were 15 officers called in without a commotion?

It is clear that certain people want this club silenced, and my feeling is that the school administration is seeking a way to make that happen in an 'acceptable' way. Even without liberal bias, it is bad publicity, and they just want to be ignored (while they indocrtinate our children).

Rome declined because it failed to protect itself against illegal invaders.

The history should be taught as a life and death issue.

[Bikers4Bush]

Large school systems often have a phone number for one at the ready.

With all the different crap going on in schools these days they need them.

[sam_paine]

He should be put in jail for having unpopular thoughts. One of the teachers there said he was a "neoconservative wing-nut," thus, I'm thinking he should probably be put to death, perhaps by tying his hands and throwing him off a building.....or uh, maybe just cut his tongue out while his mother watches. I've seen that done somewhere and it seemed to be 'effective'......now where was that???? Hmmmm.

[FourPeas]

The school’s instructors deny their teaching is liberally biased and they vigorously argue that the staff wouldn’t hesitate to protect Bueler.

This says volumes.

[the_devils_advocate_666]

You forgot to mention putting him feet first into an industrial plastic shredder!

[Ophiucus]

That's nuts. I could launch into a big 'back in my day' speech but....

[cwb]

"Since when did schools start using private investigators?"

Probably around the same time they started employing full-time lawyers and crisis counselors:) Our schools are becoming the front-line in the battle for the minds of America's youth. It's only going to get worse.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Hate crime.

[coloradan]

The school’s instructors deny their teaching is liberally biased and they vigorously argue that the staff wouldn’t hesitate to protect Bueler.

Not only does it say volumes, it's an outright lie. On the infamous day in the past that caused all the stir, multiple staff members flat-out refused to help this guy when he was being mobbed.

[Drango]

If Al Gore was president we wouldn't have any of this.

[ladylib]

The superintendent isn't happy with the principal:

Enrollment is up in the club.

[sasafras]

Again its ok to hate as long as you aren't white. People who believe in family values, the rule of law and that all people (regardless of color) should be treated equally are not allowed to express their opinion. Boy scouts bad, intact family bad, colorblindness bad, homos good, perversity good - I think I get the picture - I must be living in bizarro world.

[cyborg]

homeschooling is looking better all the time

[DAPFE8900]

No kidding..Why dont a bunch of us freepers go and act like the NATION Of ASSLAM and protect these kids. I would volunteer?

[BlueNgold]

Rancho Cotate has an interesting demographic. Years ago it was known as a stoner haven with lots of rural rocker types. In the ensuing years more and more of the Country Club set have moved into the developments adjacent to (no lie here) Country Club Drive. The school is also quite close to Sonoma State University, and liberal mecca on par with UCB. (As a kid my Mom actually moved to avoid sending me to this particular HS ... kinda funny in retrospect.)

[Oatka]

“Nothing similar to this has occurred in the four years that I’ve been principal,” Principal Mitchell Carter said of Friday’s unrest.

That's because the club didn't exist for much of that time. The libs had the podium all to themselves and now they can't stand the competition.
