CW2 ping.
regarding your last paragraph....I had the exact same experience, I went to catholic private schools until 10th grade.
All in all 9th grade was a eye opening experience due only to the fact that abortion was rampant, cocaine was the prevalent drug of choice in use, opposed to weed, and frankly, there wasn't much education going on at the catholic school.
Switching to a public school for 10th-12th grades and saving my parents a small fortune was an easy choice.
I must admit that that is an eye opener to me a little bit, though one of my students came to my class in much the same circumstances, leading her father to remark that he was happy because he got a better education for his daughter, she enjoyed coming to school again and had friends, and he payed a lot less.
When parents make a common-sense approach to communicate with the teacher
So is this considered a "common-sense" approach? These parents shouldn't have gotten beyond the front door of the school. It is despicable that the school system even listened to them. But then again, we hear the schools asking parents to get involved. If this is an example of "getting involved" I think that the school system should reconsider its policy
I sure don't think it was a common sense approach and never said as such. I don't think it is an example of getting involved either and never said as such either. You aren't a news reporter, are you?:)
The parents would not have gotten anywhere near my door because they would have known about everything beforehand and the purpose for it. However, it seems like everyone on all sides of the coin wants the school system to conform to their wishes. That should stop.
Nope, I am not a news reporter for the liberal media, or any media for that matter. Now to the debate.

What explanation is needed? The picture of the President and his wife hanging in the classroom needs no explanation and if a purpose is needed show those parents a ticket to Cuba.
Better to let the autoformat work.
The superintendent's email is: james.warfel@sbschools.org
Keep her in our thoughts and prayers, everyone. It isn't about "Republicans vs. Democrats" anymore, it's about the enemy trying to dismantle the very fabric of our country.
And it sounds like by some of the students comments, its already starting.
Another example of the autoformat:

Pray for W and Our Troops
When she refused, the matter was taken up by the principal, Jim Warfel, who Pillai-Diaz said accused her of "causing disruption and hatred" with her "inflammatory politics" and told her to "get out" of the building. >>
Typical liberal buzz words that are meaningless and which just goes to show you the liberal bias in the education establishment. I bet nobody ever had a problem with a picture of the stain maker in a classroom. South Brunswick Township Public Schools

Thank you for the links.
WE SHOULD ALL MAIL THEM A PICTURE OF PRESIDENT BUSH.

Exactly my point, sorry there's no debate. I am in agreement with you.
I think it's asinine to take down a picture of any president, even if it's Slick Willy.
Ah,and there we are in agreement.
having worked for one of these individuals and been in a nearby school district of the other I was not at all shocked by the action of the Super. and Principal! Finally more people find out what they are really like. When they left the area, many of us had a good old fashioned "wheels up" party! The Teacher Union Support is also a laugh. The only support they ever gave me was to say "keep quiet, it will go away" when the admin. used some of their tactics against me!
That's pretty standard here in NJ. I don't know why the people here are so devoted to the Democrat Party. NJ homeowners consistently complain about being so overtaxed, and yet they continue to vote the same people back into office again and again.
