From the article:
“Ford says she understands Mrs. Obama’s appearance will create some inconvenience, but she says it is a memorable way for the school district that is at the center of the Brown vs Board case to mark the 60th anniversary of the ruling desegregating schools.”
I for one, and sick and tired of these liberals celebrating the anniversaries of all the great events in our nation’s history out of one side of their mouths, and telling us that America is evil out of the other.
“It really changed America and it is an opportunity to reflect on that,” Ford said.
Yes - it DID change America - but made the schools worse. I went to school in a small town with one high school, and we all went together without too much trouble. In the bigger cities, the stupid courts started mandating that kids had to go across town, so thousands of private schools sprang up all across the country.
“Ford says students are still the focus of the ceremony and the district plans to include each schools personal touches, such as the bagpipes of Highland Park.”
He is so full of bull hockey that it’s spilling out his ears. It’s NOT about the students any more. It’s about his opportunity to have his heart race as he shakes hands with his “goddess”.
My graduating class was about to be forced to use our aging gymnasium where the Fire Marshall said we could only have so many people. It would have limited us to 4 tickets, just like these kids.
We told the School Superintendent he was going to have trouble on his hands if he did that (and he knew we meant it), so he relented and we had it on the football field.
Bottom line, REAL Americans do what they want to, and it really ticks liberals off. Now they spend all their time telling people why they should hate conservatives. The decision that we should all have access to a good education is correct. The decision to force people to do it the government way has ruined our educational system.
Fyi....Ford is a woman.
