This one involves an art project. A Salinas middle school student said her
teacher stopped her from drawing the American flag, while another
student's picture of President Obama was praised.

Tracy Hathaway said the art teacher at Gavilan View Middle School told her
daughter she couldn't draw the American flag because it was offensive.

The teacher is an idiot, but the child has obviously been Godwashed by
her parents and/or church. I'll bet the flag, by itself, might have
been allowed. What wasn't allowed was a flag inundated by God Bless
America (TWICE, no less), One Nation under God, and In God We Trust.

It offends me, too. (God 'n I get along just fine. It's the religious
freaks who try to push him/her on everyone most of the time that I
have trouble with. Stormin Mormon and Amway salesmen, y'know?) The
media have found another scapegoat to hunt.

When are you folks gonna turn off your TV sets and stop buying into
the hype that they call "news", hmm?


Let's see...what offends liberuls:

-Prayer
-Religious symbols

Well, those offend me at times, too. Proselytizing, especially.
May Thor's hammer come down on them for it.


-Nuclear family

Nuclear power.


-Free speech

Unless it's their own.


-Uninterrupted pregnancies

If I ever get pregnant, I want options, too.


-Etc, etc, etc
