Your tax dollars at work. Gotta get that conditioning started early.

A UNeesian point of view, rather than an American one.

Please ping the usual suspects.

The kids have no music at all. Just silence.

Yeah, it would be damn shame if they were actually taught to read, write, add and subtract instead of sing.

OK, let's all have some organic multicultural s'mores, made only with free range fair market lesbian Graham crackers.

Censorship? Hardly. These lefties forget that they are not the parents of those children and they have no right to impose their politics on them at public expense.

[TheBigB]

Just for clarificaton, how can one tell a lesbian Graham cracker from a straight one?

[Professional]

The Seattle PU. Good golly, that paper makes the Sea Times look like raging right wingers.

The "reporter" sounds more like leader of the propaganda ministry.

Speaking of the Seattle Times, check out Bruce Ramsey's editorial in favor of an immediate withdrawal from Iraq. I debated about which of them to post today. (I don't want to hog bandwidth.)

"I feel I was being censored," Mary told me yesterday.

What a liberal teacher...what ever happened to teaching the three Rs? She needs to get Laura Ingrham's book, Shut up and Sing, or in this case, Shut up and Teach

[funkywbr]

I thought you had to be a teacher to teach?

LOL

[Steely Glint]

Get that hippie OUT of tax-funded classrooms.

[Publius]

I thought you had to be a teacher to teach?

Actually, you don't. The Washington Education Association (WEA) has two classes of teachers: Certified Teachers and ESP's, who are basically teaching assistants or non-certified teachers.

This year, for the first time, the union is collecting dues from ESP's, thanks to winning a lawsuit filed against them by the Evergreen Freedom Foundation.

My keyboard is wet with tears. This is so sad. At least I "don't" have to "worry, this 44-year-old music instructor will land on her feet." What a relief! I was really worried about her.
