Just a week after the last time a California school told its students that the American flag was somehow racist, another California school repeated the lesson. This time a middle school student was taught that drawing an American flag was wrong. However, drawing a picture of President Obama was apparently praise worthy:

I was thinking beside the toilet in a handy bucket.

this really has to stop -
but the only way if for parents to bankrupt public public schools by taking their kids out - home school, church school, private school, online school without accredited schools...

"Everyone in the CA school system who believes an American schoolkid drawing the US flag is wrong, needs to be fired, their pensions taken back, their US citizenship revoked, and deported to Mexico. Immediately."

I can think of a better remedy for such people. I'll just leave it at that....

It would be far better to die as a martyr than to die in obama’s death wards!!!!

God?

Oh... Zero. He sure as hell won't occupy anyplace in this home.

Great comment by jessieH over at Newsbusters...

“She can’t draw a picture of the AMERICAN FLAG, but it’s o k to draw a clown!”

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Barack Hussein Obama MMM MMM MMM, Barack Hussein Obama MMM MMM MMM. He hates his country and loves Hamas MMM MMM MMM. He loves Chavez, Putin, and Ortega, but hates Washington, Lincon, and Reagan MMM MMM MMM. Barack Hussein Obama, he hates the US Military and the Flag, but loves the Red Army, MMM MMM MMM!

“It’s almost as if the Obama voters hate this country so much that they wish to erase ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that ever had to do with America and ‘change’ the country into some kind of ObamaLand where Obama is dictator.”

Almost? ...as if?

Socialists, by and large, don’t mind the flag. They just want your money.

Communists do hate the flag and do utterly detest American pride, absolutely.

These are not socialists.

CRAZY — get that student in a home schooling situation.

"their US citizenship revoked, and deported to Mexico."

Revocation of citizenship is fine, but deportation to Mexico is just wrong. Valdez, Alaska would be much better, and no deportation required!

Hey, everyone, let's really do something constructive, and work together on this. Contact Gavilan View Middle School, 18250 Van Buren Avenue, Salinas, CA 93906. Telephone 831-443-7212, 831-443-0908. Fax John Gutierrez, Principal. jgutierr@monterey.k12.ca.us

We must step up and speak out LOUD AND CLEAR against all who attempt to deny us our freedom, our rights. And we must do this each and every time we see this injustice.

At least a day. If we all took kids out for at least a day, it would cost us babysitting, but boy would it make a statement.

My kids have been out for many years via home education.

The flag is fine, the teacher is offensive.

I do believe much of California is a lost cause. America should pull its assets out of every square inch of real estate south of Bakersfield, sever that portion from the Union and call it a day.

[ScottinVA]

IRT my earlier post, I realize Salinas is north of Bakersfield, but most of the trouble lies south of there.

This is all part of the “demoralization” that Yuri Besmenova warned.

So?...Conservatives? What's the plan? What's the long term plan to RE-moralize the nation.

Hint: That long term plan must include closing down socialist-funded government schools and getting our nation's kids into conservative private schools!

Marxism is our nation's most serious threat. Government K-12 schools are the Marxists’ most powerful weapon against us.

Communists do hate the flag and do utterly detest American pride, absolutely. These are not socialists.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It is long past time that we call the enemy by name: Marxism, communism.

These people are communists!

this really has to stop - but the only way if for parents to bankrupt public public schools by taking their kids out - home school, church school, private school, online school without accredited schools...

Government schools need two things: Money and Students!

We must starve them of both!
