Default OT-American flag offends teacher

Larry,

How in the hell do you expect to be controlled if you continue to think for
yourself and hold your own opinions?

Further you frustrate people taking political polls because if you do not
think like everyone else in column A or column B how in the world will these
folks classify you?

You have probably been reading books again haven't you?

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.

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
