Ya think they want people speaking openly and freely against their nasty leftist agendas?
Come on.
While interesting your experience with one of your kids’ schools has naught to do with the principle brought up by the thread.
I read on a post way, way upthread that it was the high school in Joshua, TX. That is near Cleburne which is near Granbury - damage from tornadoes recently. I don’t have the address, email and phone but you can get it by googling or whatever search engine you use.
BTW, it isn’t a liberal area like Austin and some others. Mostly ordinary working folks.
Apparently the dispute is not what he said but his right, or not right, to say it vs the school’s right to keep him to the text they reviewed from him.
Anyhow, I find the comments ascribing this incident to all of Texas, utterly absurd.
And the incident shows a true difference of opinion. We don’t know but what the school wanted make sure some kid didn’t make a left wing speech making gays heroes or something, or conversely, pulling out a concealed carry gun and revealing he had a permit or something. No telling what their motives were for previewing his speech and holding him to the text, we don’t know.
JOSHUA TX HIGH SCHOOL.
“Apparently the dispute is not what he said but his right, or not right, to say it vs the school’s right to keep him to the text they reviewed from him.”
A point I made from the beginning but it fell upon the deaf ears of those in their bunkers taking incoming from the black helicopters.
Hear, hear.
I saw this happen in CO. Daughter and family moved to near-by Denver in 1995 from Ventura County, CA. Each visit to her I sensed a change in demogaphics (clerks in stores, fast food places etc).
And then the variety of candidates for various offices were emerging. . .
However, CO daughter’s kids’ schools are superior to the ones I know about here.
Especially because another daughter who has taught for 25 years here, has been in her neice and nephews’ CO schools. She agrees.
If she were to talk to her co-teachers about what she observed in the current CO school these kids attend, she feels she would barely be believed.
In the next second she would be believed, but/and her co-teachers would exclaim “UNbelievable!’
When I visited my g-kids CO schools, what I observed, for one thing, the teachers are visibly non-stressed, and more satisfied appearing! Teacher-daughter was just there on a quick visit and reported the SAME thing, not knowing I had these exact observations!
To also say nothing about having REAL auditoriums with stages, and real cafeterias, not these gosh-awful cafetoriums.
And indoor halls versus our outside halls. Come on - CA is not the tropics - I have seen our own 4 kids annoyed/bothered with wind, rain and cold temperatures as they eat lunch outdoors (with the seagulls, 10 miles from the ocean), and traverse to classes. And take their business to dreaded freezing bathrooms - heard about that recently from a 50 year old daughter of her school experiences here! Her sisters chimed in. From kindergarten through high school.
Of course they all survived, but what negative experiences to remember/recall!
In this day and age. Because nothing has changed in these exact same schools.
CAlifornia kids don’t know what they are missing, of course, but some of us do.
Sure it does.
Schools run by government are corrupt.
Did ya miss the part about the administrators had their hands on the microphone cut-off switch?
What do ya think they were afraid of?
If you want to rant and rave against school bureaucracies...well, they deserve it but here it is irrelevant.
I think you’re irrelevant.
Take care!
