Several Ennis High School seniors have been barred from their school prom tonight for protesting Thursday against proposed federal immigration legislation. School officials suspended 120 to 130 students from classes Friday and barred them from school events this weekend, including sporting events and the prom. The students attend Ennis High School, Ennis Junior High and the Sixth Grade Center. "We got suspended, and we're not allowed to go to prom for standing up for something that we believe is right," said senior Araceli Garcia, 18.

This thing is going to eventually involve violence. Whoever started this, the organizations involved, need to be imprisoned just for starters.

Ennis used to have a funky little Cajun restaurant called "Chez Willie's". Alligator and prawns and all kinds of great stuff. I think it's still there, but named something else now. Worth the stop.

Yep, and once again, these leftist groups are using kids to do their bidding.

If real Americans get their way, Mr. Gracia will wish the only thing he missed was the prom. Don't let the door ...

Tough toenails! Ain't consequences a pain in the butt?

Well, boys and girls. School officiais also believe in standing up for what is right......obeying the rules. You were warned, and actions DO have consequences...part of your EDUCATION.

Actions have consequences.

[ncountylee]

Yup...This thing is going to eventually involve violence.

Hope we are wrong but have my range time scheduled for later this morning.

You poor thing!! That is so not fair!!! This country sucks!!! You should go to Mexico and live, that'll show 'em you won't take that kind of crap!!

[syncked]

Awww. Don't fret so yung'uns-As we speak, I'm sure ACLU lawyers are on the plane headed your way.

I was thinking the same thing. Some drastic action needs to be taken. Trying now to think of how to organize to get something done about all of this and get loyal support to do it -- not undercover, liberal left-wing authorities who are trying to hand the country over to Mexico. Have to go after the leadership of organizations promoting this. If you cut the head off of the snake, you kill the body. Where are all of the people with some backbone?

We need to organize, take off from our jobs for a few days and go to Arizona to mount a MASSIVE protest against the illegal arrest of that young man who burned the intruding Mexican flag. And, the numbers need to be overwhelming. Rush Limbaugh could help with this if he would.

I don't think he understands that he was suspended for cutting class. Not going to prom is part of the punishment. He could have spent the day at a quilting bee and gotten the same treatment. Protest in valuable *after school* time next time.

At some point most likely it will..... The civil rights and Vietnam era protest had some violence and many youth involved.

"Chez Willie" is long gone. Ran out of town for blowing the whistle on the Czech halls. They did'nt require the pain in the ass cards. Now they do. 100 years of tradition gone.

[cripplecreek]

Yeah, I'll be holding my breath waiting for the student protest today. LOL

[HitmanLV]

I think part of the inherent nobility in doing 'something you beleive in' is to absorb the consequences of it, on route to the social change you want to see realized.

Increasingly, our culture insists on enjoying benefits with no interest in bearing the burderns. Odd.

[John Filson]

It's time for American kids to counter-protest.

[SaveTheChief]

A massive protest like the one you and I both envision simply won't happen. Most good people work and have families to support. They are responsible to their jobs and their communities and don't have the time to go across the country to stand around and wave signs and flags.

Even if this were possible and people decided to answer the call for their country, how many conservative Americans would it take to be noticed by the government and the media and convince the world that we're serious? A hundred thousand? Five hundred thousand? A million?

That's the primary difference between us and them.
