Parents outraged over finance class reading (NH Conservative Parents Push Back, Liberal Freak Out)
The Union Leader ^ | 12/6/2010 | GREG KWASNIK

Posted on 12/06/2010 10:41:06 AM PST by Article10

BEDFORD – The parents of a Bedford teen are calling for the ouster of school officials who assigned their son a book that refers to Jesus Christ as a "wine-guzzling vagrant and precocious socialist."

"We had almost PhD people letting this fumble through their fingers, and they all said it was grand," said Dennis Taylor, a conservative Christian. "I think there should be a review of these individuals and perhaps some firing done."

The left thinks separation of church and state means that government-funded institutions cannot legally say anything good about Christianity — but insulting Christianity on the taxpayer’s dime? That would be double-plus good.

More and more I’m feeling there is only one solution to this conflict.

Compared to the vision of what this country was supposed to be there will be no real winners. However, we are dying a death by a thousand cuts and a decisive action would be more humane for all parties concerned.

"The author is a known social Marxist, hates everything American, everything that America stands for or was built on," Aimee Taylor said. "I mean when you read the book you see that strongly in this woman's agenda. It's horrible."

of course

Read the whole article, it only gets better......

If you are a taxpayer you should go attend a local school and see how your dollars are spent... Well may be not if you have anger issues.

The separation of church and state... right...

Where elementary school cheerleaders can be made to gyrate and do the booty call dance to suggestive music (or be kicked off the squad) and they hand out condoms but the word “Jesus” is banned......

somehow this is all called freedom of speech... somehow religious speech doesn’t count as free speech... how did that happen?

“The ‘financial impact’ competency?”

Well I think I can sum that up:

If money were sex, liberals would be rapists.

Are they trying to create hippies that will create further rebellion against the system or teach them about the system so they don’t have to live on minimum wage the rest of their lives?

Schools seem to be confused on their purpose.

She’s a red commie, rich background - usual stuff. Her dtr was just hired by obama for a top state department position...no surprise. The young private had help and the state department are full of people who hate America/Americans...

We’ve got to find out who approved, therefore wanted, pure evil to spread within our schools to the kids. Their soul is so dark and ugly it’s frightening.

What makes one think that a person with a Ph.D. in education or an Ed.D. can read? And if they can read, what makes one think they will read?

Yes, you are correct. Now what are you going to do about it?

That has been a problem for us conservatives, what actions are we to take. These partents did something. Will you?

Gotta love the UL's comments..."But...but...she's right! Nobody can live on minimum wage!"

Newsflash, idiots--minimum wage was NEVER meant to sustain a family. It's a starting point, one which is used to build experience and education so that one ISN'T in fact stuck in such jobs for their entire lives.
