Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

Despite all the fallout, it's a lesson bloody well worth learning.

Ms. Paynter, go to Hell.

Still, no one wants a rancid replay of the days when young Vietnam War vets returned to pigs' blood and cries of "Baby killer!"

Too late for that.

It is clear that the teachers and advisers need adult supervision before we can expect the students to even begin to act civilly.

High school students have every right

A phrase repeated right before the inferred "so long as they agree with my ideology". If this were a pro-military play, you know this pissant "reporter" would be up in arms about the lack of control the school district exhibited. Hypocrisy, thy name is Democrat.

"Seattle Schools communications manager Patti Spencer"
I wonder where she fits in with readin, writin and rithmetic?? How much do the taxpayers fork over for her salary and bennies????

I don't believe no adult faculty knew of this for a moment. It's coordinated leftist "plausible denial" spin.

I forget who called it "The People's Soviet of Washington" (William F. Buckley?) but this piece makes him look to have overstated things only slightly.

Keep in mind that when it occurs in the safety of middle-class schools the liberal media use the euphemism "hazing", but if it occurs in a combat zone it is referred to as "torture" or "abuse".

I live in a neighboring state. I have friends and relatives in the Seattle area. Mostly sane, a couple of the loonies. I have often wondered if it is better to keep these idiots confined in one place, or disperse them out into more sensible populations. Still don't know which.

Your tax dollars at work.

When Congress is through with their dog & pony show over steroid use in MLB, then perhaps they'll grow a set of cajones and go after the NEA.

Of course, I expect this to happen roughly around the same time as my wedding to Ann Coulter.
