"When they're runnin' down our country, man,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side o' me!"

The Fightin' Side of Me -- Merle Haggard

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Big deal. They aren't learning anything anyways in the govt schools. Sounds like a great" day off" from school.
How about you jerks learn how to read and add...then when you graduate and have jobs...go demonstrate.

[No Longer Free State]

"Obviously our goal is to have students in class," said Peter Daniels, a spokesman with Seattle Public Schools. "Kids are going to have to make decisions about whether they attend. Each school has attendance policies."

What kind of @%$# is this? How 'bout "Cutting class for any reason won't be tolerated. These dumb adolescents are here because they're too ignorant to be making their own decisions."

[Conservatish]

This is part of a national "day of resistance," carried out by an organization called World Can't Wait (www.worldcantwait.org), a front group for the Revolutionary Communist Party. Actions for tomorrow are planned across the nation. The list of endorsers is a who's who of Leftists!

[MNJohnnie]

Fine walk out. Then let them be punished the same way any one who cuts class would be. Problem is these clowns always figure their "Civil disobedience" should be completely without consequences. What a bunch of completely self-absorbed losers. In a few years they will be asking you "Do you want frys with that"

The Answer fags are at it again.

"Youth Against War and Racism"

Let me guess. Subsidiary of International ANSWER.

[Lorianne]

I wonder if the student's planned this.

[Rabid Dog]

Wonder what our county is planning.

[CindyDawg]

I wonder how many will skip school for this and go to the mall instead. I would. The recruiters really out to double up that day.

[Reactionary]

Maybe the communists at ANSWER will provide free booze, girls, and dope. That way, the entire event will be typical of self-absorbed idiot liberalism.

[GloriaJane]

Who ever goes to these marchs are answering the question I posed in my song!

"Who's Foolin Who"

And by putting themselves forward, everyone who's ever heard the song, will know who the fools are! LOL!!

[Americanwolf]

The list of endorsers is a who's who of Leftists! A who's who of socialists...:)

[bigfootbob]

The Seattle promoter is an aging hippie b..ch with two conscientious objector children, even though there isn't a draft. She's training them to that standard for when the "neocon Bush" re-institutes the draft.

One of the goals is to bar military recruiters from the Seattle public schools.

[CyberAnt]

How did the schools organize such a thing without the parents approval ..?? But being the Seattle area .. I don't suppose very many of the parents would object.

[mrexitement]

These kids could care less about what they are walking out for. Just so that they can skip school is cause enough for them.

If you're a left-coast teenager and you don't oppose all war and all corporations, you just don't have a heart.

If you're 30+ and you still don't have a clue, then you just don't have a brain. Give them time.

[Stayingawayfromthedarkside]

I just clicked on your link and even though I'm not much of a country music fan I like the titles of those songs.

[Andy from Beaverton]

Medved had one of the representatives on his show. Medved reviews the history of Vietnam and the peace movement. The guest was completely uninformed!

[goodnesswins]

Yeah, I heard her on Medved....not only was she "uninformed" she wouldn't say which side she would have been on in WWII (If I heard correctly.)
