We will have morals once again when parents are once again parents to their children. When they teach them everything they can before they walk out that door to attend the first day of Kindergarten. When they teach them respect for law and order. When they teach them respect for their peers. When they teach them respect for their Teachers and YES, the school bus driver and yes, the school janitor and private property or the property belonging to the school and on and on and on.

You can say it, but O'Reilly can't?

[cubreporter]

Well, I'm pooped from talking about this. It all boils down to the parents and how and when they begin teaching their kids right from wrong. So, I say the Principal is NOT responsible...you say he/she is. I guess we could argue this all day long but...sometimes O'Reilly goes over the top with his arrogance. Don't get me wrong, I hope the kids get some kind of punishment and they should be expelled butto me, that's where it stops and SHOULD begin with the parents but I doubt that will happen so...no doubt about it but guess we just don't agree on what should be done.

[Nephi]

No, (I who am ALSO here at Free Republic want to see the end of the fed education system too) and NO, I do not see any benefit at all in highlighting instances of decay in that system!

Okay, Cluelessreporter.

HOWEVER, the school Principal was NOT responsible for the behavior of these two kids no matter WHAT O'Reilly says.

O'Reilly never said that - I watched the segment. O'Reilly's has said it is up to the principle to enforce standards of conduct and punish the kids involved. So far, the principle has refused.

[cubreporter]

I didn't say O'Reilly can't say anything. I just disagreed with him.

He is entitled to say whatever he wants just like you and I can. My argument with him is the fact he is almost blaming the Principal who wasn't even there. I'm saying too we have to stop blaming others when something like this happens. The kids did it...they were responsible. Now they should answer to their parents (AFTER BEING EXPELLED)

[cubreporter]

Thank you for the name calling, was that really necessary? I didn't call you a name did I?

I thought we had some intelligent dialogue going here but since you resorted to calling me clueless reporter I guess we have nothing further to say here. I'm sorry felt you had to stoop to calling me a name...I didn't think our conversation was going that way.

[Nephi]

You thought wrong - you are incapable of having an intelligent dialogue. You are so conflicted you are irrational. Otherwise, explain the logic behind your "clueless" statement.

[cubreporter]

Whatever.

[kcar]

Yeah, that reference raises a darn good question: Was it only the girl who was having sex here, according to that one abstruse dictionary that Clinton scoured the planet to find? Maybe the boy should sue because maybe he was just "passive"?

[Minutemen]

What's the problem?

No Problem- if you rationalize Bill Clinton style.

Bill Clinton? Was the girl employed by the guy? Was he in some sense "in loco parentis"? Was he married?

Teenagers and adults have been doing this since the beginning of time and yet this country was founded and has endured.

Very dangerous.

One bump and...

Since this could have been a safety problem, what was the driver doing while this was going on?

[F16Fighter]

"What's the problem?...This has been common for years in school parking lots all over the country."

No -- no problem.

Guess you wouldn't take anyone to task if it were your daughter in a back-of-the-public-school-bus "starring role," eh?

Crack open another warm beer dude...

Even if the school is exemplary, consider the period of time your child spends on the bus, unsupervised, and the dangers your child is in during this period. It is up to you, the parents, to protect your child. You can't trust the school system. Also, never get lulled into a sense of safety about your children taking bus trips for special school activities. Same sort of things could happen. Either drive your child to the event, or don't let them go. It is up to you, the parents, to get your children safely to and from school.

You're right. I don't trust anything about the public school system - because I don't trust anything about the people who run it.

[demosthenes the elder]

umm... driving, one would think?

[Servant of the Nine]

Guess you wouldn't take anyone to task if it were your daughter in a back-of-the-public-school-bus "starring role," eh?

Nope. I taught mine right from wrong, so that could never happen.

You are worrying about the behavior of White Trash.
There have always been Trash, there always will be. They still aren't important. They never will be unless you give them some importance by worryig about their behavior.

"You are worrying about the behavior of White Trash. There have always been Trash, there always will be. They still aren't important."

I presume you and your kids don't live in isolation somewhere in a cave?

What you apparently disregard is the fact that ALL kids are affected by one another. "White Trash" is chic, it's cool, and it's more tha acceptable these days -- as a matter of fact it's actually ruling teen culture now isn't it?

Moreover, would you like the most damning proof that "White Trash" and their "behavior" IS important?

Might you recall the name William Jefferson Clinton?

Teenagers and adults have been doing this since the beginning of time

Say what??? Are your teens doing this on the school bus? Mine aren't. I think you got this bulletin board mixed up with High Times or Klinton Kountry.

[TexKat]

do you see any benefit in highlighting instances of decay in that system?

Not in O'Reilly sensationalizing this story for his own benefit. IMHO, I don't think homeschooling is the answer for everyone. If that is your choice, so be it.

I went to a Catholic school, kindergarten thru my senior year. I was schocked in my junior year, at the goodie two shoe girls getting it on with the boys in the back of cars at a party after the prom.

I have 3 children all attended and graduated public schools, my last one will be graduating in May from a medical magnet public school with honors. My last graduated from Keller High and is now a staff sargeant in the U.S. Army. My middle one has a management position at Mary Kay.

At our home morality and a love of education is taught and practised.Participation in our children's lives and activities.

Public, private, or home schooling is not the issue here. Parents teaching morality is one of the issues here. The girl that I spoke of in my previous post, her and her mother are very active in their church, however this girl is totally out of control. She has no respect for any adults, not even for her mother. I chaperoned a band trip a couple of years ago, which was her freshman year. When she got on the bus, she started cursing, started creating problems with the other band members, and like I said,no respect for any adults. Pyschological help may be the answer for some of these children.

But once again Bill O'Reilly's sensationalization of this indecent activity is not the answer and some things are not national news worthy.

Home school may be good for some,but not for all. Remember Andrea Yates.

[Frapster]

I just heard on the Glen Beck program that two teens forced a 4-year-old little boy to give them oral sex as the little child was walking to school. I'm literally nauseous and horrified at such a thing. Just yesterday my kids brought us a note home from school that three or four hispanic males in a van tried to coerce some girls into their van while they waited at their bus stop. We are at war in America...

Search engine works fine on words four letters or longer, as designed. You have to be intelligent enough to use it properly. It's like complaining about things not working in the o-f-f position. Time for you to learn a few things and to stop shouting.

Thank you...
