The use of the words totalitarian and terrorist to apply to this situation is hyperbole. We should be careful around here not to 1984 the language.
I am neither for or against the demo. People have first amendment rights and a right to peacefully assemble. I said earlier the parents and the kids are in control of their behavior. I believe it is ridiculous to sue them for doing a few moments of silence. If they did more, let the school and the parents handle it.
What's your point?
I'd agree on the "terrorist" part, it's the first thing that jumps out from the article. It's becoming so overused to the point of taking all meaning out of the word. "Totalitarian," however, applies perfectly. This little exercise in raising political consciousness is right out of the diversity trainer's handbook - raise political consciousness while stifling political discourse. According to immigrants I know who've lived under PROC and Soviet rule, this type of thing was orchestrated regularly by the Party officers in charge of "political thought."
My point is that they are taking advantage of impressionable minds when they market their political views middle school children. They are attempting to desensitize the children to advance their cause. This is wrong.
My point is they should hold a ralley or event outside of the school system and we are free to not attend. Within the school system our children are captive. People could take their children out of school for the day but this isn't a one day event. Events like this are becoming the standard for the day.
