[BradyLS]

Bet they all felt a RUMBLE before they saw or heard anything!

I can just image a perplexed look, a peek out the window...and then Harleys and Old Glory just start flooding the parking lot!

[justsaynomore]

How awesome - good for them!

[GrouchoTex]

Made me proud and a bit misty-eyed myself.

[SunkenCiv]

Wow. Any other questions? :’) Thanks Second Amendment First.

[AmericanInTokyo]

The roar of the masses.

This is the BACKLASH.

We in American, the Great Silent Majority, have taken it up the tailpipe for TOO LONG.

NO MORE!

We are going to STAND UP FOR AMERICA, the liberals can just shove it and lump it.

[I still care]

Sounds like the TV reporter backs the boy.

Good for him.

[Quickgun]

That ought to provoke a response, too if it happens.

[George Varnum]

Prayers up for this brave young Patriot, folks; the LaRaza spawn will not be happy with this, and even at a young and tender age might tend to express their disapproval in a physical way.

This non-conforming Student has essentially told both the Indoctrination Nazis and the Reconquestadores’ to pack sand, and I’m more than confident that the reproved Educrats will be more than willing to look the other way while the gangsta brats “teach this Gringo a lesson” - probably with total impunity.

He is apt to fully deserve that Purple Heart cap before this is all over.

We have seen examples even here in Maine where children of Conservative activists have been terrorized and beaten by school bullies as if they had been targeted - probably at the behest of some “Administrator” within the School.
If the victim even attempts to defend themselves, they are punished for “fighting” while the bullies usually get a complete pass or at most a couple days suspension in which they can smoke dope, play video games, steal hubcaps or do whatever young scum does with itself these days.

This story does my heart good! I think that all those Mexican youths complaining about the sight of an American flag on AMERICAN soil should all be put in special ed classes, as clearly they are slow and their thinking is warped. WAY to go PATRIOTS:)

[ICCtheWay]

Years after signing the bill into law - Reagan admitted it was a mistake ... no enforcement - none... at least he was man enough to admit it...

President Bush - lost all my support - for any cause - whether he was right or wrong - after he for years kept pushing Amnesty and allowed the Mexican Border to remain open ... Only an uprising of citizens scared the U.S. Senate into dropping the whole effort on June 28, 2007 when we made a million phone calls shutting down the Senate phone system...

Obama has been worse than Bush - much worse ... but had President Bush set a standard for actual and real Border security, and not promoted Amnesty for 20 million illegals again and again - Obama would have never been in a position to make matters as bad as they are now ...

[TheThinker]

This is just amazing. Wonder how the school administrators feel about eating crow.

[TheThinker]

We Californians do get picked on a bit here, but I always ask the offender where the Free Republic servers are locate.

Guilty as charged and good point.

[Katarina]

Thank you so much for this thread. It has me crying such proud tears.

[Second Amendment First]

The pleasure is all mine Katarina!

[ConservativeWarrior]

Wow. Rant much?

You're right, though, eliminating all public education is definitely the answer. That would work out splendidly for the US.

Why not just sign you entire paycheck over to public assistance now?

While we're at it, lets dump the military and emergency services, too. After all, if we want these things, the citizens can just form a collective.

You should run for office!

[Westbrook]

Public education is a collectivist, marxist idea.

“To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical.”
~~ Thomas Jefferson

“The propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors,” is the definition of compulsory, collectivist education.

The Dept. of Education has over 18,000 employees and a 2006 budget of over $70 billion. What did all those people and money do? If it were gone tomorrow, what difference would it make to our daily lives?

The government school collective charges my town $18,000 per student per year. And it does not even include the bloody bus contract.

The local church school charges $3000 per student per year and gives a far superior education, stressing academic performance, God, family, and country.

We homeschool with the same emphases as the church school at a cost of about $200 per student per year.

Why must I be compelled by threat of force to participate in, or to contribute money to, a school collective that charges outrageously exorbitant fees to teach things like putting condoms on bananas, normalizes homosexuality, abortion, and promiscuous sex, exalts the genocidal savage Mohammed, teaches that there is no God but the State, and offers inferior academic performance?

[Little Ray]

Lots of people need deporting.
For some reason, it doesn’t seem to happen.

[Little Ray]

Are you certain?
How much cr@p goes down in schools without us hearing a peep about it?

[ConservativeWarrior]

No argument that the public education system is financially inefficient. I'd much prefer the whole affair be privatized, and a voucher program be enacted.

Unfortunately, there's reality. The public schools are here. Homeschoolers aren't going to change that fact. The majority of the populace simply won't, or can't, homeschool their children.

You can raise knowledgeable, conservative, reverend children in your home, but they'll be outnumbered by droves of marxists at the ballot box unless you fight to maintain control of the schools.

The public schools are the battleground. Ours happen to be excellent, and we are working hard to keep them so.

Yours may be too far gone. What have you done, personally, to change that fact? And no, posting witty Jefferson quotes on FR doesn't count.

[Westbrook]

> Yours may be too far gone.

I’m afraid so. We live in what used to be conservative New Hampshire, now overrun with communists and meddling busybodies from Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and Rhode Island.

Our schools are as Politically Correct as Lexington, MA, but without the academic performance thereof. Worst of both worlds.

You must live in a conservative part of the world where the schools are still at least somewhat responsive to the community.

Our schools are dead to us. They do what they want, and that’s to promote the humanist worldview.

For all intents and purposes, our schools have become the Bus Ministry of the State Church of Humanism.
