WAYNE — On one side, a Wayne Valley High school student claims that his use of the word “Taliban” was innocent, mentioned in a conversation about a video game, according to his mother.

But to a Muslim student who overheard it at school on Thursday, it was upsetting. And she had perceived that he had looked at her when he said it, Principal Robert Reis said.

“But to a Muslim student who overheard it at school on Thursday, it was upsetting.”

She could always convert to a real religion...

Reis said administrators had planned to treat the situation as a teachable moment and meet simultaneously with both students to talk about it. The boy was suspended after the girl came to Reis upset a second time.

I suggest they hold a beer summit.

We all know that if she and her family went back to the hell holes they came from, this wouldn’t be a problem.

I don’t know what it’s going to take to put an end to this damned political correctness nonsense, but it can’t come quickly enough.

This is way past ridiculous...

Teachable moment? Then why suspend the kid? To teach the Muslim girl or others how to get someone suspended?

Remember the good old days when our enemies were our enemies and saying so was okay?

Outlaw islam, then kick any followers of the pedophile cult out of our country. The Saudi’s do not appear to suffer any backlash from banning Christianity. I think the moos will understand our new ban and return to their litter boxes.

The Muslims here have studied the old black activist RACIST playbook . Now if you look at them sideways they cry racism, same scenario. I really don’t want to go through this again in one lifetime. I spent years in the NY City area having radical blacks tell me with every move I made that they found “offensive “it was the old “ oh it’s because I’m black” routine. I don’t like a lot Muslims lately and I have that right .
Oh yea , can some smart Freeper tell me where in the Constitution it says that we have a law against having our feelings hurt. I can never find it in there.

I’ve about had it with all of this “bullying” crap.

Bullying has always been around. It needs to be dealt with the way it was when I was a kid. If someone messes with you, knock their damn teeth out. My dad always told me that he would punish me if he found out I was bullied at school and didn’t fight back, never start fights, but ALWAYS finish them.

For what possible reason can a student not use the word “Taliban” in a conversation, and how did this girl “perceive” that he looked at her? This story is like all these ridiculous (non) racial incidents that become national stories.

Well, now that the Chicoms, Krauts and Japs own us, it’s no longer okay!/sarcasm;)

"Remember the good old days when our enemies were our enemies and saying so was okay?"

I was just ruminating on this a few days ago. When I was in high school, if people drove Japanese cars, it was bacause all they could afford was a cheap tin piece of junk.

Queers damn well stayed in the closet, girls left town if they got pregnant, and all was swell with the world. There was very little homosexual suicide, which happens not to be a symptom of society's frowning upon, rather it occurs as a direct result of the individual struggling to square that which society now says is "Okay" with something he knows in his gut is reprehensible to those he ecncounters. By society virtually forcing gays to be open about it, the friction is as predictable as are the slashed wrists and makeshift nooses.

We were told that a better plan was to sleep with your other prior to wedlock, and this would help you find your intended lifemate. The result? Divorce rates skyrocketed over 800%.

It's what happens when Man starts screwing with what our Founders referred to as "Nature's Law" (meaning "God's Laws"). When we try to play God, everything goes off the tracks, and the steepest of prices is paid by those caught in the interstices.

These neanderthal Muzzies have to be shown that this is our home, and they can come here and play if the do it legally and if, once here, they follow our rules. To even suggest that we should have to spend our lives walking on eggshells lest we upset some idiot with a diaper on his head is disgusting, and makes me want to tightly grip a Bible and start shooting holes in stuff.

This madness is going to end, because we're going to retake control of our country, and our sanity. It boils down to common sense, and Palin will show the rest of those crying out for it the way back home.

Our home... America.

I am SO sick of worrying about Muslim sensibilities. They can just get over it or pack their effing bags and get the hell out. I prefer the latter.

Here’s a thought, how about teaching kids that sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

That’s how I was raised as well, but by a single mother.
