Free suspensions and academic discipline for all!

[jaysgal]

As if these kids weren't stupid enough already!

[ewing]

hold muh freakniks alert!

Could be some possible nudity here..

[yonif]

What a bunch of crap. These students don't know nothing and are blindly following crap ass arguments which don't mean anything.

I can't stand these hypocrites. I hope the administrations do something.

[Dont Mention the War]

Many of the students organizing next weeks actions have portrayed the latest round of tuition increases at state colleges and universities as a 'war tax' on the poor.

They should be expelled on this point alone. If they're truly so stupid as to believe this, then by definition their education has failed them and they cannot receive a diploma that holds any legitimacy.

I am a sophmore in high school. this is so stupid. Most high schoolers do not know what they are going to wear much less solving international problems. I am very into politics (conservative naturally) and keep up with the news because I am in extemperaneous speech for forensics. These kids have no idea what is going on and need to be grounded by their parents.

[Clara Lou]

Who are the adults instigating this?? That's my question.

[mystery-ak]

Isn't this nice......my son, Jonathan a Junior at Illinois State is doing a *military drop* Tuesday.....he just got activated and is about to be deployed, like his father.
So, while all these students are having their little walk out...thousands of young men, like Jonathan proudly serve their country......HOOAH, Jon!

[DensaMensa]

Properly disciplined, this act should be enough to drop a few of them out of contention for the colleges of their choice. (But it will never happen.)

[mewzilla]

Wonder how many of the participants could even find Iraq on a map?

[Consort]

First they march. Then comes student unrest, campus riots, civil disobedience, flag burnings....

[Bubba_Leroy]

Any excuse for a day off.

[mhking]

My high school-age daughter hasn't mentioned anything about this, but then again, she knows her mother and I will stomp her into the middle of next week if she even thinks about staying out of school for something as retarded as this...

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[mhking]

Damn. I have GOT to stop trying to send messages when I'm half sleep...

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!

[b4its2late]

They'll do anything to skip a day of school....

[lizm_77]

where are these high school students parents? mine would have hit the roof had I involved myself in something this ridiculous. There is no room for this sort of thing in school, they are supposed to be learning, that's it, that is what you do in school.

I hope there are some adults in these school administrations who will assign the appropriate repurcussions to students who think walking out of class is ok, unfortunately I don't think that is likely.

[meyer]

I recall some kind of walk-out in high school in 1976. I walked out with the rest of the gang, lit a cigarette (I've since quit), and walked straight to the park, never looking back. To this day, I have no idea what the walkout was about, but I enjoyed the afternoon off. I suspect that most students that do participate will think similarly (though I hope they refrain from smoking - its a bear to quit).

[Tribune7]

This reminds me of the crap that went on in the '70s. Ultimately, it produced a who lot of conservatives. The student majority is silent. They watch and observe and conclude that the left is run by hypocrits.

[earlybirdnj]

here's a link to their website--- check out who their members are (here's a hint--the usual suspects!!! earlybirdnj

[demosthenes the elder]

oh, I dunno... if more books for these cute little tots would automatically make them better educated, perhaps the pups would come to the practical level of knowledge required to have an accurate view of the world, and they'd all have that sublime apotheotic moment of realising that their anti-(Bush)-war protests are moronic.
That'd be a good thing, right?

[Let's Roll]

This is what delay is reaping. It is easier to acquire forgiveness than permission. Blow off the UN!
