A state delegate in Virginia has sent a letter to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, demanding that it remove a “rainbow” flag from the flagpole that also holds Old Glory.

“Dear President [Jeffrey M.] Lacker,” wrote state Delegate Bob Marshall, “Flying the homosexual flag just under the American flag outside Richmond’s Federal Reserve Bank building is a serious deficiency of judgment by your organization.”

Marshall said the Federal Reserve policies are supposed to “contribute to the strength and vitality of the U.S. economy,” but “a flagpole in front of a federal building is not a commercial or political message board.”

“What does flying the homosexual flag, or any other similar display, have to do with your central banking mission under the Federal Reserve Act passed by Congress?”

“The Richmond Fed’s endorsement of costly, anti-social, immoral behavior is rejected by 6,000 years of Western religious and moral teaching. You want the American people to trust your judgment in economic matters when your spokesperson celebrates an attack on public morals? Why?” Marshall continued.

“Mr.Lacker, take down that flag!”

North Rowan teacher in video controversy will keep job Tuesday, June 19, 2012 salisburypost.com The North Rowan High School teacher who told students it’s criminal to speak ill of the president will keep her job with the Rowan-Salisbury School System. Although Tanya Dixon-Neely has been suspended without pay, she will return next school year, when she will be required to start a monitored growth plan, Superintendent Dr. Judy Grissom said in a press release. The district received national attention when a nearly 10-minute video of Dixon-Neely and senior Hunter Rogers engaging in a heated political debate went viral. In the video, the Dixon-Neely can be heard telling Rogers that he could be criminally charged for speaking ill of President Obama and that people had been charged for insulting former President George W. Bush. “As I have stated to our entire school system staff, I expect all teachers to be professional during class discussion and not to force their personal or political views on students, demean students, or instruct students on what to believe,” Grissom said in the release. “Teachers must create a positive instructional environment conducive to learning within the guidelines of our state curriculum. “Ms. Dixon-Neely’s failure to meet these standards during the recorded portion of class is the basis for my disciplinary action against her.” But Grissom said school administrators report the recording does not reflect Dixon-Neely’s usual performance as a teacher. She received two formal classroom observations before the recording in May, both positive. Before taking on a role in the regular classroom setting, Dixon-Neely had been assigned as a teacher in the district’s Alternative to Suspension program, which relocated to North Rowan last fall. During the second semester, she was transferred to a regular classroom due to staffing needs, Grissom said. “While I remain deeply concerned about the performance documented in the recording of Ms. Dixon-Neely’s classroom, I have concluded that she should have a chance to improve her teaching skills,” Grissom said. “Under these circumstances, suspension without pay for 10 work days and a requirement that Ms. Dixon-Neely complete a monitored growth plan is an appropriate resolution. “Ms. Dixon-Neely also will be reassigned to her position in the Alternative to Suspension Program.” Grissom said she’s ready for the district to move beyond the incident, noting Dixon-Neely has received messages that include racist language and sentiments and that teachers throughout the school system have been criticized.

Two patriotic Americans Work in Tandem--Obama and Eric Holder Breaking: Obama Takes Ownership Of Fast and Furious President Obama has granted an 11th-hour request by Attorney General Eric Holder to exert executive privilege over Fast and Furious documents, a last-minute maneuver that appears unlikely to head off a contempt vote against Holder by Republicans in the House. While the executive privilege claim may slow down the quest for more information it is a very dangerous move by President Obama. Before this morning he had Eric Holder as the scapegoat, now that he has asserted executive privilege... the buck stops with him! President Barack Obama has asserted executive privilege over documents sought by a House committee investigating the botched Fast and Furious gun-running sting, said a letter to the panel Wednesday from Deputy Attorney Gen. James Cole. The move means the Department of Justice can withhold the documents from the panel. The letter came just as the House Oversight Committee was set to vote on a contempt measure against Attorney General Eric Holder for not providing some documents on the botched federal firearms sting operation. A showdown meeting Tuesday between Holder and panel chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, R-California, failed to resolve their dispute over the committee's demand for the Department of Justice to turn over more documents about the program. "Prepping for contempt proceedings against Holder for FastAndFurious stonewalling. Didn't have to be this way, but we'll do our duty," said a Twitter post by Issa before the committee convened Wednesday. To attain those documents, Congressman Issa will have to either negotiate with the White House or begin a federal law suit. Update 1: Boehner agrees- “Until now, everyone believed that the decisions regarding ‘Fast and Furious’ were confined to the Department of Justice. The White House decision to invoke executive privilege implies that White House officials were either involved in the ‘Fast and Furious’ operation or the cover-up that followed,” said Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) spokesman, Michael Steel. “The Administration has always insisted that wasn’t the case. Were they lying, or are they now bending the law to hide the truth?” credit to longnshort
