Forget about France; time we send our home-grown anti-American neighbors a message. . .somehow. . .

[Mr. Mulliner]

Here's more on that story you alerted us about on Sunday.

[Mr. Mulliner]

What are you hearing from the teachers in Maine about this?

[borisbob69]

In response, according to the report, school personnel were less than cooperative, telling the soldiers, in effect, "That's your problem."

Maybe the Feds should stop subsidizing the school districts across the country for every child of a Federal or Military (employed) family whose children attend schools in the district. When they cry about lost revenue and are forced to reduce their staffing through layoffs...the response can be: That's your problem."

...and (establishment) educators wonder why more and more people are home-schooling.

[Madame Dufarge]

Bump.

Brit Hume also covered this abomination on the "Grapevine" segment on Fox News tonight.

[IslandTrash]

My God. This is atrocious. They'll support any kind of "abuse" some girl may get when her clothes leave nothing to the imagination, and yet when there are students with actual emotional issues to deal with, like the notion that their mom or dad may die????? How ignorant. I nominate them to join the other morons in operation human shield.

[OpusatFR]

Well, looks like Maine is going to have a problem as this gets more and more coverage.

[Coleus]

What wonderful teachers we have who have the utmost respect and feelings for their students and the students' parents who aren't homw with their children. They should be fired. I just love the way they keep their warped political views to themselves. I wonder if they did the same when Clinton "the stain maker" called in troops for Bosnia?

[Welsh Rabbit]

I had to put up with that kind of crap from liberal teachers as an army brat in junior high during Desert Storm. My family was stationed at Ft. Lewis, in ultra-liberal western Washington.

[JackelopeBreeder]

Hmmm...

How about we round up the offending teachers, principals, guidance counselors, etc. and forcibly send them to Baghdad as the newest contingent of human shields?

Or drop them by parachute into whatever posts in the Great Sandbox where the parents happen to be stationed? That would make an interesting Reality TV show...

CONGRATS to FR activists who got this story noticed.

Original thread goes back a few days from a Maine TV station broadcast and grew from there.

Original thread is here .

This story could very easily have died a quiet death at the Maine TV station. Thank God, and FR e-mailers, it didn't.

[litany_of_lies]

The Guard has decided not to release those names for fear of repercussions for the students involved and instead will allow individual parents to decide if they want to confront the teachers publicly.

Y'know, I don't live the People's Republic of Maine, so I won't claim to totally understand, but if I were the Guard and I had proof and I were in Ohio, I would have named names and DARED them to even look cross-eyed at the soliders' kids again.

. . .you are right by all accounts. . .

Sick, sick, sick of stupid, mindless Liberals, who think that their rights to express themselves; their pursuit of happiness, did not come at someone elses expense.

Wherever do these fools get the notion that Freedom is 'free'. . .that it is literally a 'free ride'???

Yes, they do not want our children to feel bad competing, excelling in academics. . .but by God, if you are Military you deserve to suffer.

Treason is the reason - to abandon all Liberals. . . .

make them all human shieilds. . .

What a bunch of cowards. Big bad teachers picking on their students - this makes me sick. Maybe these teachers should be left alone with said military personnel / parents for an afternoon to find out more specifically what type of problem they are dealing with.

[Itzlzha]

In a related matter, WABI reports that the National Guard instructed soldiers to meet with school personnel prior to deploying to inform them of the deployment and let them know that the children of soldiers may have some special emotional issues to deal with as a result. In response, according to the report, school personnel were less than cooperative, telling the soldiers, in effect, "That's your problem."

OK, let me be blunt here...

The PROPER respose is "OK, you school-Fascists will no longer get ONE THIN DIME in Federal monies, since you have violated Federal statutes governing "Equal Protection"...nor will you get one thin dime of LOCAL taxes since you have violated STATE statutes as well."

When you come crying for more $$$ for your bloated, pork-laden scumbag sex-ed/homo-loving crap educational programs that are no longer funded...we all will look you IN THE EYE and say...

"That's your problem."
