Schools endorsed Bush (a blast from the past)

You know all these school officials who are calling everyone "right-wing Trump supporters" now because they disagree with them? Let's go back to the bubble gum bustin' year 2004 to see what they were up to back then.

Just before the 2004 "election", they openly endorsed George W. Bush for President. A student at a public high school in Virginia Beach said their school had this announcement over the intercom: "In tomorrow's election, you can vote for a rock or a pancake. The rock is President Bush. You know where he stands and he is solid. The pancake is Sen. Kerry. He is flat and spreads out easily and often flip-flops to prevent from getting burned."

Somebody replied that this couldn't possibly be true, because no public school would ever allow Republicans to be praised. Oh, trust me, they did. I went to public schools where that was all they ever did. Private schools were of course even worse, and I remember some pretty right-wing stuff being said in the morning announcements.

Some of the biggest right-wingers I've ever met were school people. Now they're the ones calling everybody else "right-wing Trump supporters."
