There was a story the other day that students from middle school and high school were bussed to hear Angela Davis, 60’s radical/terrorist give a talk.
Crazy stuff comes out of public schools all the time it seems
The suggestion in the article needs to be followed up on. If this school is not going to refuse any free t-shirts that become available to hand out to kids - since handing them out is not an endorsement of anything - then this school needs to be given a LOT of free t-shirts to hand out. With all different viewpoints on those t-shirts, since handing out them is not an endorsement of anything.
Obama shirts are fine, but if a kid showed up at school wearing a George Washington or Ronald Reagan t-shirt, he would be expelled.
mmm...mmm...mmm...
Where is the outrage from the parents of the kids in this school? We would be raising hell down here in northern georgia and calling for those responsible to resign.
The rest of the article is great, but this part is instructional:
“First thing in the morning on January 11th, I called the principal, Evan Parrott, to express my concern with these shirts being given out in my child’s school. Mr. Parrott proceeded to tell me that the school was in no way endorsing anyone by giving out the shirts, and that in fact a note had gone home with each student, and that the 5th grade students were told that they didn’t have to take them, but could if they wanted. He also said that they were given the shirts by The Gazette and felt like they couldn’t turn down free t-shirts to give away.
My immediate response was to ask him if the school would give away shirts that had ‘Jesus Saves’ across the front, if they were free to the school. The question was obviously dodged and our conversation ended by him telling me that an e-mail would be sent out to parents explaining the situation. There was no acknowledgement of any wrongdoing, but rather an acknowledgement of miscommunication.”
Government schools are legalized child abuse.

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
As if.
Newspapers and Government Education are fellow travelers, having the same goal, to destroy all resistance to godless humanism.
Meanwhile students wearing tshirts and bandannas decorated with the American flag are suspended for “racism”.
