NEW ORLEANS -- The American Civil Liberties Union is urging Louisiana school officials to respect students' right to express their views on the day when Barack Obama is sworn in as president.
In an open letter sent to school superintendents this week, ACLU of Louisiana executive director Marjorie Esman expressed concern that students in some Louisiana communities were punished for voicing support for Obama's victory in the November election.
Esman says some students were told not to mention Obama's name or discuss the election at all. She is encouraging schools to treat Inauguration Day next Tuesday as a teaching tool.
I remeber when Reagan was sworn in, I was in junior high ( you see I was old enough for them to call it junior high not middle school) and the library’s TV was on to show the inauguation.
We are so efffed.
.......we watched Reagan’s 1st inauguration in JR High as part of our history class.......the Nuns at school thought history LIVE was better than history in a book for the one day.....smart ladies!!
That’s what I was wondering -
are they going to protect the students that declare loud and proud that 0bama is a dumbass, but a clever charlatan, and those who support him are a bunch of easily duped morons?
I plan to spend 4 years proclaiming this.
“...students in some Louisiana communities were punished for voicing support for Obama’s victory in the November election. “
Doubtful, but it makes for a good excuse.
Probably what happened:
They got a talking to for inciting racial tension by shouting “it’s payback time” at the white students.
I'm a firm believer that if one loves their children they will teach them themselves and petition their legislators to do away with the department of education.
When a small group of thugs like the ACLU can bully the public servants WE pay the way they do it's time to do away with those public servants.
MHO
The ACLU will probably allow prayers on this day for the
“Dear Leader.”
The worship of hussein obama is permitted in all venues and under all circumstances. The opposition should keep their mouths shut or show their support of the great ruler.
“I’m a firm believer that if one loves their children they will teach them themselves and petition their legislators to do away with the department of education.”
And I’m a firm believer that most of the tens of millions of parents who send their children to public schools also love their kids. I know I do.
Pure B.S.
This is a ruse for the ACLU to get a foothold (and funds) in the political process.
Contact/Support the ACLJ, Thomas More, Heritage Foundation and others who are lawyers and legal advice for those whose civil and religious rights are being infringed upon by the likes of ACLU and uninformed jurisdictions.
And don’t forget The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights at www.catholicleague.org/ and learn who Bill Donohue is currently confronting.

Great idea!
Good morning class. Today we are going to discuss how a dummy with no experience, no accomplishments and no record can be President of the United States. Now, we aren’t talking about President Bush. We are going to talk about a man who claims to be African-American, yet is neither. We are going to talk about a man who claims to be honest, yet surrounds himself with crooks.
Somehow I don’t think this is the teaching tool the ACLU had in mind.
As demonstrated by your actions no doubt.
Why is it again that you choose to subject your children to the socialist concentration camps of Marxist indoctrination again?
“Why is it again that you choose to subject your children to the socialist concentration camps of Marxist indoctrination again?”
Because the school he goes to is no such thing.
We’re going to talk about how someone with very limited actual intelligence and knowledge, but excellent speaking skills,
is able to dupe otherwise semi-intelligent people into believing that he is brilliant.
And he's going to a "public school?" Hmmmmmmmm. Interesting. You're not a teacher are you?
Tell you what. Talk to me when he's graduated.
I'd like to know why, if someone expresses a positive thought about the education of their kids in a public school, the next question is "Are you a teacher?"
