We were informed by my child's principal that Senators Hillary Clinton and Blanch Lincoln would be at his school for a reading program presentation. The letter said that only students and faculty could attend -- no parents or friends would be admitted. Usually the school has a real open door policy for parents.
The program will not be taped (for later viewing of parents) as Clinton's press secretary will not allow it. So I can't even review what was said or hold anyone accountable. Supposedly this event is not to be used for political purposes. So what is it for?
I've considered not sending him to school, but I'm not sure if that is the right thing to do.
Why can't Hillary go to her own New York schools and leave our School alone? Right now I'm just hoping she cancels.
That's definitely the right thing to do.
Put a tape recorder in your kid's backpack.
How old's your kid? Can he do like that student in Colorado with the nutty geography teacher and tape the speech without anyone knowing?
Why on Earth would Hillary do this....without taping it...I mean, what's in it for her?
I believe that's illegal to prohibit a parent from their child's school, for any reason.
I'd keep the kid out and let them know why. There is no telling what they will say to the kids. That really pisses me off.
I'd send a note that I want my child to spend his/her time reading in the library or something.
They can't make your child be there.
I sure as heck wouldn't allow it for my children.
Seriously, I would let him attend armed with your wisdom so he can be prepared.
Go back to the ship, take off, and nuke the place from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Why the visit? Perhaps her handlers want to find out how she is around children. Children can be pretty perceptive around "cold" people. Better for them to find out now rather than during the campaign when she will not be able to limit the press coverage. </speculation>
Nothing that woman does is not political. There are digital recorders for sale that are really inexpensive, one of which might not be an altogether bad thing to have running just in case.
I hear wolfbang and cloves of garlic are effective...Oh yes, and have your daughter wear a cross and bring a canteen full of holy water....
"Supposedly this event is not to be used for political purposes. So what is it for?"
Senatress Clinton/Rodham doesn't brush her teeth in the morning without making a political calculation.
She's a crass and consciousless user of people for her own ends.
Put in your position, I'd keep my child home, raise royal he}} with the principal, school district, school board and every news outlet in town and then move the child and myself out of the place as soon as possible.
I'd definitely keep my child home. They have no business bringing in a politician to talk to your child, and then telling you that you are not allowed to hear what that politician is saying to your child. That is b***s**t.
What are the other conservative parents saying about this? Have you spoken to them? I'd love it if there were a group of kids that didn't attend.
Wisdom, holy water and earplugs!
