Enough Already with Kid Gloves

My son's Little League team (Seniors - ages 13 - 15) whupped an opposing team the other night about 12-2 in the 5th inning. The games are called on the "slaughter rule" when there's a 10-run lead. I was raking the field after the game and the opposing coach was delivering a blistering talk to his players about their sloppy play, errors, poor bats, etc. It's good to see that competitive sports don't kowtow to the self-esteem nonsense. The winners earn self-esteem. The losers get to slink off the field of combat.

Isn't purple the official color of the homosexual movement?

It seems that educators worry that emphatic red corrections on a homework assignment or test can be stressful, demeaning--even "frightening" for a young person

Oh my g*d, enough! Enough already.  What are these people doing?  These are the idiots running our schools?  No wonder the kids coming out of these 'schools' have no b*lls ... even COLORS are too stressful now?

What will they think of next??

While you freepers praise the all-mighty George W, wax so eloquently about liberal scum, and commerisate about Hillary and the upcoming election, the enemies within are hard at work turning your children into worthless, illerate, weak, ignorant blobs of oversexed/bisexual androgyny.

While you are at work, they are brainwashing your kidz at skool. When you get home, turn on the TV, guzzle your adult beverage, and zone out...your kids, if not downloading porn or stealing music off the computer, are reading textbooks chock full of innacuracies and Anti-American revisionist history.

What are your kids reading? Have you picked up their textbooks and looked at them? When are your school board elections? What kind of marxist morons are making budget and cirriculum decisions? What are your kids' teachers like? Is he/she more eatrh-friendly than America-friendly?

If there is but one thing you don't like about what is going on at school, get together with other like-minded parents, and start fighting. It may mean a night without watching the game or drinking a beer, but it may just save your child.
