Public School Art Show: Burn in Hell, Trump
Townhall.com ^ | June 6, 2017 | Todd Starnes

A New York school district has launched an investigation into a student art show that included profane references to President Trump.

The art show at Shen High School featured a dozen drawings of the president’s face. Above the drawings was a sign that read, “Draw on Me.” On a nearby table was a box filled with markers.

Let’s just say, the youngsters did not hold back.

“Burn in Hell, Trump,” wrote one person. Another person scrawled the word, “a**wipe.”

One of my readers sent me a photograph of the art display. Click here to see the hateful rhetoric for yourself.

“I think it’s horribly disrespectful,” parent Erica McGowan told me.

She said the art display inside a classroom reflected what she called the school district’s glaring hypocrisy.

“They preach tolerance and no bullying and safe spaces and all that nonsense – as long as you are not a conservative,” she said. “If somebody had put up pictures of Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama – they would mow you down.”

Mrs. McGowan told me her son Peter was lectured about wearing an iconic “Make America Great Again” ball cap to school.

“They told him it was hate speech,” she said.

Peter told me the art display was “awfully disgusting.”

“It’s hypocritical for the school to pledge tolerance and then allow photos of a sitting president to burn in hell,” he said.

But the Shenendehowa Central School District said the art exhibit has been removed - and it was never meant to include derogatory or profane messages about President Trump.

A spokesperson told me they believe someone vandalized the artwork with graffiti.

“Once we noticed this, it was immediately taken down,” the spokesperson said.

If that’s true, why was there a sign posted above the artwork inviting students to write messages? And why was a box of markers left nearby?

I reckon we will just have to wait for the school district to complete its investigation.

The art exhibit has drawn the ire of the New York-based Saratoga Conservative Chicks. Their group called the exhibit “outrageous and unacceptable.”

“There are some pretty ugly things on those pictures,” Marnie Messitt told me. “It’s all about hate speech and division and indoctrination. There’s no place for that in the school.”

She said people are getting sick and tired of public schools disparaging the president.

So the school’s administrators also lie. It certainly could have been predicted what student’s in the hateful state of NY would put on the picture of Pres. Trump. They were so helpful in providing markers to do it.

Just another display of the indoctrination of kids in public school.

Democrat President Obama? The teachers had the kids singing songs of praise - literally. Remember, "Barack Hussein Obama, um, um, um"? If not, watch these:

The Obama Song
School Children sing mmm mmm mm Barack Hussein Obama

Republican President? Well, you can see for yourself.

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.

The school superintendent L. Oliver Robinson
robioliv@shenet.org
has been an outstanding Left Wing Pro-Obama activist and has earned your email of support for making our schools stink again.

He also just opened a special prayer room for Muslim students on campus.

Our schools are breeding grounds for hate, bullying and contempt for American values. Unfortunately we cannot get rid of these over priced liberal indoctrinators.

CLIFTON PARK, NY (WRGB) - The largest school district in Saratoga County says it will allow Muslim students to pray in rooms in at its’ high school.

The Shenendehowa High School Principal says classrooms are being set aside so Muslim students can pray during Ramadan.

Since then, we’ve heard from parents who are against the move.

One parent sent us a letter explaining her concerns saying:

“Since prayer for other religions was removed from school years ago, I feel as Shen has crossed the line on allowing this on campus.”

Some folks we talked to in Clifton Park agreed, like David Chapleau.

Exactly, they are teaching hatred in Shenendehowa Public School - they should fire everyone connected to this obscene event.

“Imagine the outrage had this been done to Obama.......................” Jail within minutes.

Especially because the school superintendent is an Obama worshiper and disciple.

Trump should let none of this stuff phase him.

The left sponges will NEVER approve of anything he does.

Keep pushing and kill the whole dam D.O.E.

That will really make 'em squeal.
