Just one more bitter chapter in the Weenie-i-zation of our country. AdR

Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

"We have police officers roaming the school

Do the police carry guns? If so, shouldn't they turn in their guns for a flag too?

(/absurdity)

It would seem that the educators in this school are too stupid to teach the students that there is an appropriate place for the weaponry the mascot is toting. On the old frontier when your very life depends on being able to skillfully employ them is appropriate. The halls of a high school are not.
Why is that such a tough lesson to teach?

Maybe Pete had better turn in the coonskin cap too; cruelty to animals you know! We don't want to upset the animal rights crowd too! Geez, don't these people have better things to do with their time - like teach?!

Insert a safety lock into the gun and replace the knife with nail clippers?

Geez, don't these people have better things to do with their time - like teach?

They are teaching...Moronics I, II, and III.

FMCDH

rotrock and didway?

This is ridiculous. When are they going to come after the musket-toting Mountaineer at WVU?

They are attempting to teach kids that guns will never, and HAVE NEVER played an important role in protecting our lives and liberty. They want everyone to believe that the early settlers just called 911 when the "native Americans" decided to "celebrate their diversity" by scalping the kids and burning down the cabin.

The gun grabbing nuts seek to take away our gun rights by distorting the history being taught in the public schools. Teaching the next generation of voters that not only are guns and gun rights not needed now; they were NEVER needed.

They are attempting to "rectify" the record a la Winston Smith in 1984.

I would bet he is wearing "buckskin" clothing which should be removed too.

But then we have another problem.

No. A nude adult male mascot would be very PC, especially if he had his arms around a male student.

If they can erase guns from our past, you can bet they intend to erase guns from our future.

Liberals attack guns like they attack everything else on their agenda. They go to the schools. They attempt to raise the next generation with their ideology in hopes of shaping the country to their idea of utopia. They have done this with every major issue they had on their agenda. They've done it already with environmentalism, and to an extent marxism and atheism. It will continue until it is stopped. They are busy doing it right as we speak with the homosexual agenda. Conservatives are too busy fighting other fronts while being basically bred out of existence.

and yet no one seems to have a problem with this guy:

The Butte Pirates.

"Liberals attack guns like they attack everything else on their agenda. They go to the schools. They attempt to raise the next generation with their ideology in hopes of shaping the country to their idea of utopia."

Well said. No conservative can afford to ignore public education. It is the ever present end run to victory for them. Whether it's the 2nd Amendment, abortion, or homosexual rights. However ludricous the proposal (like gay marriage), they simply "educate" the next generation of voters to their way of thinking, and the conservative vote is cancelled out.

Homeschooling and private schools are great, but unless public education is taken hold of out of the liberals' hands, we WILL BE out-voted in the future, as they have the numerical edge in pupils under instruction.

Depends upon how you pronounce "Butte".

I'll be sending them some e-mails. It's hard to believe that AFTER Sept 11th this stuff still goes on.

Wish I was here to make a similar anouncment when they took down the South Albany H.S.(Oregon) Rebel flag down.

They tried this a few years back and were defeated by the public reaction. Hopeing that we can stop them again.
