Support school choice candidates.
Shut down the indroctionation centers. The damage they've done to America can be corrected.

[dfwgator]

It's all that damn rain and lack of sunshine.

And that bleeping grunge music.

See #36 above.
Y'all gonna be there in force?

[KingofQue]

If I followed my heart I would find him and kill him. I follow my brain and let it go.

[Humidston]

Publik Skools.... Ahhhh, gotta love it.

"But it also was educational, if you don't mind learning the hard way. Lessons don't all come neatly packaged. Sometimes they come laced with pain, anger, regret and conflicting passions."

i'm so tired of that drivel.

[Just A Nobody]

"which was the result of the Vietnam war & ROTC protest."

Your response:
"I'm sure that this was just an oversight and you were not suggesting that this is the reason for the war."

The operative word in my quote is PROTEST. I absolutely was NOT suggesting it was the reason for the war?????
Anti-war & anti-ROTC PROTESTS were going at Kent & got out of hand. The National Guard was called in...the rest is history.

"The way in which your teacher addressed the tragic events that took place was educational. That was not 'activism'."

Which was my point. Apparently I did not articulate it well

[This Just In]

"......protest."

Excuse my apparent oversight.

"Apparently I did not articulate it very well."

Actually, you did. I was mainly addressing our fellow FReepers, as well as browsers, who failed to recognized the effort, though misguided, on the part of the students who were attempting to make a political statement through their "activism."

[Pimpala]

If these people had there way in the 80's, hundreds of millions of europeons would still be behind the iron curtain. Today they would deny freedom to hundreds of millions of muslims in the middle east.

We may be fat, but cannabilizing ourselfs makes us stupid. Anyone one familer with osamas fatwa may be inclined to shift their polarisation to where it belongs, against islamic extreamisim.

[ExSoldier]

Funny thing I heard that some retired four start army general was brought on as the Supt of the Seattle Schools to turn the situation around. I wonder if he's still there?

The granola crunchers from California are what really ruined Seattle (aka The Emerald City). When I was stationed at Fort Lewis with the 9th Infantry Division from 1980-84, things weren't so bad. Think of it now as San Francisco north.

"Lenin statue on Seattle streetcorner..."

Hmmm...bronze statue ... sufuric acid... no more problem.

Some things just bring out the Vandal in me.

Wish there were pictures to show this perfidy. But this is the left's deconstruction of "education."

[moog]

I want to know where the parents were on this one. I mean the parents of the kids.

[moog]

I'm certainly glad the parents of my students are rsik (as you put it) takers. I love the interactions that I have with my students and parents and the joys I get in seeing them learn to read. My question here is what the parents taught their kids. My dad would have never allowed me to take part in such a display.

There are several states on both coasts that do not deserve to be part of the USA. There really ought to be some way for the rest of the states to kick them out. Too bad our founders didn't put in a way to divorce those states on the grounds of "irreconcilable differences."
