Teachers and administration in my district tacitly co-operated with National Silent About Perscuting Homos day, and didn’t mark students as absent when they pulled out of school a few years ago to go see Bubba when he came to town on a fundraising tour. It was “students showing a social concious and protesting problems in society” and “civil disobediance” and a bunch of 60’s hooey. I bet the same people who went all touchy-feely over that are blowing a gasket over these kids standing up for what they believe in...
In my area, when Hitlery was running for senator, the TEACHERS got the day off to go hear her speak.
