And here I thought the green left wanted everyone to know how to sort trash. Are they worried that these kids might someday compete with their union members for trash sorting jobs?

When will the parents tell them to take their apologies and shove it? When will they understand this is only the tip of the iceberg?

Homeschool. Stop the abuse.

In Obamaland, that level of work is reserved for those with masters degrees in Waste Sortation Science.

“”He said no complaints had been received about the activity, which is a standard part of the curriculum, until last week.””

When you hear this from any school official, you know they are lying. They can have file drawers overflowing with complaints and still insist, “You’re the first to complain.”
