Yep—Tailgunner Joe knew these people well.

[Nevermore]

Damn these kids think they know everything!

It's 'cuz they're so much smarter on drugs, dontcha know (corollary to the Buffalo Theory). Just aks 'em.

[eyedigress]

This individual promoting unprotected sex and illicit drug use to these children should be investigated for contributing to the delinquency of minors. IMHO

[KristieK]

Absolutely! I have been accused by the government school defenders ( All of them Liberal/Marxists) of using “inflammatory” language. What they want is control through use of language. The language used must change. You are absolutely right! NEVER use your opponents talking points in their fight against them!

so when you call teachers liberals and marxists, you don't consider THAT to be inflammatory? it looks to me that YOU are the one trying to control the language by deciding who is a liberal and who is a marxist.

Believe what you want to beleive, but don't take yourself to some low level of calling names. That's what the liberals do when they paint all conservatives with one big brush stroke. Its wrong to call names at other people. Especially when you are essentially preaching to the choir.

Lots of rich trust fundees living in Boulder.

I can think of a better name than liberal or Marxist to call those teachers and school administrators who sponsor these sessions to encourage immoral behavior: degenerate. Or another one: pervert.

“Students want an apology?
Self-important little snots. What a joke.”

You don’t really think the “students” came up with this idea do you?

[KristieK]

What I was talking about was calling people here on Free Republic liberals and marxists. I got no use for teachers that do horrible things in their classrooms or sponsor this type of trash. I just don’t think its right to call fellow freepers liberals and marxists, right when someone is talking about how bad it is to try to control the language.

[MEGoody]

LOL I just don’t think Bill will be apologizing to these kiddies.

[CHICAGOFARMER]

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?

POSTING LIKE THIS IS CONSIDERED RUDE AND BELIGERENT.

Turn off your caps lock key and be civil.

You might try spell check too.

xxxxxxxxxxx

I AM HANDICAP AND DOING THE BEST I CAN DO!

APOLIGY?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If some government teachers look, walk, and quack like Marxists, they are Marxists. The rest are useful idiots for their part in propping up and enabling the system.

It is past time that we called things what they are. Truth isn’t name calling. It is, instead, what it is. Your labeling it “inflammatory” doesn’t make it untrue.

[KristieK]

your labeling other freepers marxists doesnt make that true either

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Degenerate? Pervert? How true!

LOL!

Truth is truth, even if government school defenders label it “inflammatory”.

[KristieK]

I didnt attend public schools and I dont defend them. I just thought it was sort of pot calling the kettle black to call other people names while saying it is wrong to call people names. I’m not sure how that makes me a school defender. Again with the wierd logic. Do you just call any one names that doesnt go lockstep with you? I dont really have much use for public schools. I didnt go to them and I dont have any kids so I dont really have a dog in this fight other than looking at something that was pretty ironic.

[wintertime]

your labeling other freepers marxists doesnt make that true either.

I hear them quacking. I see them walking, and I know what they look like. If I point it out to others, they will see it too.

Calling a Liberal what he really is ( a Marxist), is like the little boy who pointed out that the Emperor had no clothes. Suddenly, everyone has an epiphany.

Truth will win! Why? Because people are not stupid. ( see tag line)

[KristieK]

Those are your opinions, but just because you can think it, it doesn’t make it true. And because you think it, you don’t have to say it. Calling people idiots because you don’t like them or agree with them doesn’t make it true either. Calling people idiots just pulls people apart and away from the true issue of how best to educate over 50 million children. Maybe the best way IS little schools organzied by parents. But no one wants to talk about that with someone who just calls names. So maybe don’t use so much name calling and concentrate on the issues instead of dropping bombs. Unless dropping bombs is your schtick which in that case nothing I say will make any difference except you will just start calling me names because I don’t agree with calling names. That’s ironic isn’t it.

What makes you think that the private schools aren’t also infested? Harvard is a private university but more liberal than Berkeley. Even the Catholic schools are filled with people who are taught by liberals. It has been forty years since Catholic university faculties were composed of practicing Catholics. Today if you were to blow up an auditorium containing the DePaul faculty, you would kill a bunch of agnostics and lapsed and liberal Catholics. No, IMHO, the root of the problem is a national elite that socially is liberal to the core. Only their financial interests keep them partly in the Republican camp. They need conservative votes to keep their taxes down.

The petition says his coverage has unfairly damaged the reputations of Boulder High, its officials, the city of Boulder and the Conference on World Affairs.
