From a couple of days ago but didn't see it in a search, so here it is.

Will anything come of this? Apparently not.

[TexasCajun]

At least he got a hair-cut, huh?

The lack of 'visible penalty' doesn't mean there wasn't a penalty and we shouldn't assume there wasn't one.. From an HR perspective, if any disciplinary action was done correctly, no one will know other than those directly involved.

sparked national debate

Wow, where have *I* been during this national debate? Seemed like something the left HOPED would spark a national debate, but didn't.

In my fantasy world, Bennish would return to the classroom to see every student with a big tape recorder on his desk.

At least Sean Allen won't have to suffer him any more. I understand he'll be transferring to a different (hopefully private) school.

Just heard the kid and his dad on the Hannity radio show.

The kid is leaving either the class or the school. The dad is surprised (!) that the school officials and Bennish violated what he thought was an understanding that neither side would keep talking about this in the media. Both dad and kid said they made it clear all along that they didn't want Bennish fired.

Until our people wake up and smell the coffee, and then grow some ballz, we will keep getting bent over.

Pathetic.

[California Patriot]

I believe the teacher said he would continue to teach in the same way he always has. Who cares if there was some little "penalty," if it has no effect?

[the anti-liberal]

One of them 'alternative' schools no doubt. What school would knowing hire him now? Hmm, well, nevermind...

[California Patriot]

Your idea is on track, Quilter. Somehow, we never seem to get it together. The other kids in the class, and their parents, probably just wish this had never happened.

c'mon people...can't you see....this....is.......

BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!

[the anti-liberal]

I hope conservative and sane minded people in this district will begin to pull their kids out, transfer them, or homeschool them.

For every cause there's an effect, we'll see what that is soon enough.

[the anti-liberal]

Congrats, you get the prize for the first mention.

Need a pic for this...

[dhs12345]

And next time Liberals claim that our kids are not being indoctrinated in public schools...

[the anti-liberal]

It's only indoctrination if they're not the ones doing it, don't cha know...

"Congrats, you get the prize for the first mention"

Congrats to you...I've been saying this all day and YOU were the first one to give me a prize.

Now I feel redeemed.

Thanks.

Exactly.

[California Patriot]

... We will have another good counter-argument. All credit to Sean and his family for publicizing this. But I'd like to see an incident where a family doesn't let it die. This one will die.

[princess leah]

Wanna bet that kid will have a black mark on his school record so that if he tries to go to a big university, he'll be earmarked as a "troublemaker" before he ever sets foot on campus. Of course, that is if he's accepted!~

Where you live in OR?
