"Maybe that's because they live in the suburbs......"

What's that got to do with it?

It never ceases to amaze me what people will do when they think they are part of a powerful group in control. I am reminded of the monstrous comment by Madelyn Albright when asked about the intended deaths of nearly 500k children resulting directly from her policies, "we think it is worth it". Who the fekk do you think you are Madelyn, was all I could think at the time? That episode of our history was swept under the rug but I'll never forget it.

Now there is a hard to believe but true story breaking about a politically correct gestapo school here in Colorado. I'm following a situation where a school (Mary Blair Elementary) has gotten entirely out of control. They suspended a 7 year old kid, then when his mother inquired about it they told her he would be forced to scrub the gym and clean the Principles office and there was nothing she could do about it. When she objected they began running a smear campaign on her and her kid. She complained that it was too severe for something none of the parents even knew about. They told her the new rule about imaginary play had been available all year on their web site and she should have been more responsible. The Principle has now been caught lying (They posted the rule after the media picked up the story). They have been caught engaging in a cover-up.

They are now finding out parents can do something about it. She's standing up to the system and getting huge support from the public.

================
He was playing super hero saving the world on the playground. When he made the motion of throwing a blast at the evil force, (also imaginary not aimed at anything or anybody) he got busted. I was surprised, so I googled '7 YEAR OLD suspended for imaginary game' and got several pages of results... its become a common occurance.

You should watch the video, the kid is totally confused about what is happening ... cute, "I can't believe I got dispended...its called 'Rescue the World'."

Shep,
Maybe that's because they live in the suburbs...
Well then they wouldn't HAVE to send their kids to private school, now would they?
