Then take it up in the political process. Don’t tell children they don’t have to follow any rules they don’t like. American public education is already a free-for-all disaster enough as it is. Other countries and cultures teach children to respect and obey their teachers. In general, I don’t think that is a bad thing.
Now that’s just too funny.... imagine rebelling against something you know is inherently wrong and against your “core”. Ha ha... I remember the ‘60’s and didn’t the other side do the same??? Shoe is on the other foot now....
The rule is that the student doesn’t have to take the test. That rule was developed from the political process. So you can take your erroneous and insulting generalizations and your support shills and go back to DU.
Here's the point: it wasn't a rule.
According to the Times Herald
"I replied and said, 'I did some research and it said they don't have to.'" The principal then asked if she'd researched "both sides" of the issue.It sounds like the students WERE NOT under an obligation to participate in the Common Core tests, the principal knew that, and was upset with the student for telling other students their rights. Additionally, I'd like to know what "other questions" were asked, if they had anything to do with finding out the political beliefs of the student or her family, and by what right the principal was interrogating the student AFTER the student demanded her parents be present for any further questioning.The girl said in her statement that she grew increasingly upset with the principal but when she asked to call her mother, the principal refused.
"Then she started to ask other questions and that's when she started to interrogate me and I felt like I was being treated like a criminal."
The girl stalked out of the office, slamming the door behind her. Walking quickly down a hall, she said she refused to stop when another administrator demanded that she do so "four or six times."
That administrator, she said, told her "I had no business telling the kids that they don't have to take the test and if I wanted to tell them I (could) out of school."
I teach my children to stand up against tyranny. If this kid had put a UN flag in his truck or a Che Guevara flag no one would have said a word. But since he put a flag promoting his cultural heritage and he is a white kid, he has no rights at all.
In case you hadn't noticed, there is a war going on against white males. People have to apologize for being white or even speaking English correctly. It is not this kids fault that he is the white descendant of Southern gentlemen.
There were no rules about flags in pickup trucks when this kid arrived with his one day. The rule was created to squelch his free speech and his alone. It was an unconstitutional attempt to silence his viewpoint and to further the schools anti-white multi cultural attack on America's traditional heritage.
90% of the people who died while fighting under the stars and bars did not own slaves. If that flag offends someone then tough. There is no right to go through life without being offended. Ther is, however a right to hold and express offensive viewpoints. That right hiwever must be exercised occasionally in order to maintain it. Use it or lose it.
We must stand up to tyranny or we will most certainly kneel before it.
