An island of conservatives in a sea of liberals
Palo Alto Online ^ | Oct 13 2017

Posted on 10/13/2017 10:57:03 AM PDT by Republic Rocker

When Palo Alto High School sophomore Jackson Druker wore his red "Make America Great Again" hat to school last year, he said he was bullied, harassed and even physically assaulted.

Students took his hat and stepped on it. Others cursed at him. One student punched him in the back of his head, he said. Another told him "I literally want to shoot you right now if you don't take off that hat," he said during a class presentation on the experience. Druker's account with online schoolwork-management system Schoology was hacked and his contact information changed to hillaryclintonlover3@gmail.com, he said.

Bullying is okay when Democrats do it.

If I were the parent, I would sue the school system so bad, they will be teaching in North Korea.

Reading the responses of most of the postings, the “tolerant” left are crying that these conservative students are the real problem.

California is a totally lost cause. Let them exit.

Not new. When my sister went to Pali back in the early seventies she was one of the few conservatives there. Her Russian teacher lived her...everyone else not so much

My alma mater, and my nephew and niece both graduate within the last couple of years. It’s always been a pretty liberal environment, but I’m glad to see a few students trying to cut through the morass.

Ha! More shutting down the free voice.... as the posters replied to the article it was an open log in to post, now that they do not like the responses you must register with the online publication to post... again suppressing freedoms which is exactly what this group is about!

Especially since the hackers have all his personal information and could have done anything else the system would record as him.

Palo Alto is supposedly some of the best and brightest in caligulafornia. Given the savage intolerant behavior depicted in the excerpt, caliphony-ugh is truly a lost cause. Trump needs to remove the nuclear umbrella from that wretched state.

Parents, if you want your kids to be enslaved by the government, let them go to public schools, if you don’t, homeschool them. Yes, it is a sacrifice to you - you can’t get a new $125k car every year, or have vacations to Tahiti, but it is worth it.

My home is in one of the two red coastal counties in the sea of Blue Jersey. We should secede.
