I see. So anyone who thinks something different from the nonsense you spout is full of "Typical liberal crap"?
I'm not intentionally ignoring anything Your Highness. However it seems that you are intentionally ignoring the fact that this is a discussion board, not a goose stepping "let's blindly support every single nonsensical and ridiculous thing the government says" forum.
Guess what pal, in case you haven't noticed there are a lot of really dumb, and dangerous laws in this country and.....it is ok to say that they are dumb without being full of, as you so eloquently put it, 'typical liberal crap'. If you say you don't recognize this then you are either lying through your teeth, or you are not worth having an intelligent discussion with.
Here's a question for you, do you think that it is right for the to force someone off of their property so that a strip mall can be built? Well guess what, our government says it's legal. Do you think that it is right that a handicapped person can be deprived of food and water for the sole purpose of ending her life? Yep, the government said that's legal too. It's good to know that you will bow down and blindly support whatever it is that a beaureaucrat says. I know that these comparisons are a stretch in this situation, but it no less ridiculous than the arguement (or should I say insults) you are making.
I would say more to you, but I don't plan on getting myself banned.
It's amazing to me that this started with flags being displayed in a classroom.
My arguements / insults: If I have this in a nutshell, I said no big deal, flags not required for the learning process. You disagreed. Fine. Then you spun that into me not believing in educating children because I don't think flags are required. How was that leap made? That is soooo Liberal type speak.
Look, if you think kids can't learn geography without seeing / touching a foreign flag...so be it. But that does not mean I have to agree with you nor buy into the spin you use as justification.
This is, after all, a disagreement about what you "think" is right or wrong for a Colorado classroom.
I don't bow down and blindly support anything.
I agree that there are many stupid / wrong laws in this country. Well guess what? It is still a law.
We elect the clowns that make these laws.
You don't like the law, get it changed. Simple as that.
Until that happens though, one is responsible for abiding by the laws on the books. That is why the teacher was canned. Simple.
Just because you think a certain law is wrong does not give you the right to ignore it. Simple. Just ask that teacher in Colorado.
I am betting that my "flagless" 12 yr old is just as competent, more so actually, in geography as another "flagged" 12 year old elsewhere in the this country. He gets a lot of additional guidance from Dad, but, sorry to say, he has been deprived of any flags, save one.
Again, I don't give a rats butt if you "think" it's not right that we don't display foreign country flags in a classroom. My kids don't go to a school run by the UN, at least not yet.
