This golden oldie from 2006 shows that America's schools are run by thin-skinned little Nazis. Everything since mid-decade is anticlimactic, of course, but the situation hasn't much improved.
In Frederick, Maryland, 5 high school students got in the trouble of their lives just for protesting against the war when the Marine Corps set up a recruiting booth at their school. All 5 were suspended. Two of them were arrested when the school called in the cops.
Do right-wing school officials have such delicate feelings that they have to cry to the police? Aaaaawww, poor widdle school people!
The students' "crime"? "Distributing unapproved leaflets." Gee, now there's a freedom-loving phrase - not!
Now see why I support homeschooling?

..... This is bull shit on so many levels it's not even funny.
ReplyDeleteFor one thing, what the hell are the Marines doing setting up recruitment booths at a HIGH SCHOOL? These kids aren't even old enough to smoke and drink, but they think they're old enough to sign up to a cause that may end up getting them killed?
And then the fact that these kids got arrested for peacefully protesting the outrage that it is? I hate this country. I really, really do. This is why I don't keep up with the news, it's too infuriating.
