Ahhhh, but the muslims are our new bestest friends.

We had an unbroken run of being told that islam is a religion of peace, and that we had "Our Dear Friends, the Saudis" to thank for everything wonderful on earth. followed by:

Get with the program wouldja?

If we celebrated every country’s victory over the French the year would be one big party.

HaHaHa

A celebration of ...the one skirmish the mexican bandits won in the war they lost?

That explains a lot about Mexican "Culture". Show up at work, take a siesta, then call it a day' work and go home.

A half-@ss job makes a half-@ss country...

Use enjoy Siskle and Ebert way back when they just reviewed movies. Now that he is living out his days he has become bitter and twisted. The more he steps in it (which is a lot lately) the sadder his legacy becomes.

To keep me from blowing up when I read garbage like this,
I have to remind myself Roger Ebert has a tumor in his head.

The hammer and sickle table was already occupied by the school board and the Che table was already occupied by the
teachers so the kids will have to settle for the Pol Pot table.

Wouldn’t it make more sense for the hammer and sickle t shirt people to be sent home on the Fourth of July? Also, school is closed in July.

The United States has been at war and is being conquered without one shot fired. Anchor baby citizenship has been their weapon along with cries from the liberals of “it's for the children”. This problem has gone unchecked by the US Government for 30-40 years. US citizens have been hard at work paying taxes and following the law, at the same time the illegals have been sneaking across the border having ten children per family in our hospitals and raising them on our dime. We are a victim of the cowbird. Like a plague of locus they are consuming infrastructure and services in this country (health-care, education, welfare, energy,and housing) and in return we get grief. Our government will fail and the handouts will end. We will be forced to defend our property and our lives from these thieves. The strong will survive and the liberals will be culled.

“What we don’t do is FORCE others to be observe our festivals.”

One of the core principles cherished in this country (less so in many other countries is FREEDOM). Live and let live. Making other students hostage to the “sensitivities” of fellow students is a slippery slope with no obvious end.

Does this mean that Muslim students are entitled to insist that females wear burkas in order to avoid being offended?

Does this mean that fat girls can insist that all girls wear mumus to minimize perceived differences in body size or shape?

Does this mean that “Goth” students can insist that everyone wear black?

Does this mean a student can insist that no one wear “Polo” shirts on grounds that they find it offensive for Ralph Lauren to “exploit” human beings by making them walking advertisements for their products?

The school would be far better served by insisting that Mexican students learn some tolerance. After all, the white students are putting up with celebration of a holiday that means nothing to them. How come their “sensitivities” count for nothing?

I pity this guy. The cancer he’s slowly dying from is obviously affecting what’s left of his brain more and more each day.
