Who should John McCain pick as his running mate?














Nine angelic third graders in a Waycross, Georgia elementary school were harassed by the police this week for plotting their teacher’s bloody demise.

It seems as if these tiny sweethearts had their day ruined when some judgmental kid snitched on them and they were caught—innocently enough—with a steak knife, duct tape, handcuffs, and a to-do list for each of the pre-pubescent playmates. I’m sure they meant no harm.

The industrious wee little honeys were so meticulous in their plans to proactively adjust their instructor’s bellicose behavior that they even had detailed arrangements to scrub the crime scene of any trace of evidence. Those little rascals. Brings a tear to your eye, eh?

Now, why were these darlings so righteously indignant that they were compelled to act in such a way that, possibly, might not positively release their full potential in a self-esteem enhancing manner?

Well, it appears that their repressive, anachronistic, locked in a 1950s time warp where the teacher in fact ran the class, educator actually crossed the line by correcting one of the honeys who was simply trying to entertain the class by standing in his chair while the instructor was attempting to teach.

What a witch. What was that nazi chick thinking?

Doesn’t the teacher know that she can’t correct these children who are simply displaying their creativity and releasing their unique gifts in a demonstrative way? Doesn’t the teacher know that such an authoritative and harsh action on her part (e.g. attempting to stifle the child’s free spirit by telling him to sit his butt down) could forever bruise the student’s inner child?

Hey, teacher. Leave them kids alone!

Y’know, according to the experts, it’s because of a teacher’s power trip, Christian values and lack of sensitivity that students (and their parents, too!) are:

• forced to drop the F-bomb upon educators with regularity,

• forced to threaten them with lawsuits, Continued...

When modern educators penalize children for such things (a child was once suspended for drawing a picture of a gun!) and, at the same time, indocrinate them in sexual practices and paganism, it becomes evident that some serious moral disassociation is occuring! It wasn't so long ago that high school students brought target rifles to school as a part of school endorsed programs and nothing was thought of it.

Kids haven't changed in their basic nature. It's just that the "educators", politicians and culture czars have warped their values and perspectives. That's what's got to change... and quickly!

BTW: I highly recommend the organization Concerned Women For America. I joined myself just recently. (Yes: They take men as members, too!)

What a pity. "Family Guy" is surely not for our

children.
Parents need to direct children away from this

kind of objectionable drivel...but many of the

adults find it entertaining and see no problem

having their children watch it.When a six year

old girl mistakenly brings safety scissors to

school in her backpack and the principal calls

the police,who take her to the station in hand-

cuffs(!)we are in huge trouble as an adult group

charged with guiding children!After all,she did

bring a "weapon" to school!!! Help!Reason&respect

need to be beacons in raising children,but sadly,

it appears that there is a whole generation of

folks who need to be taught how to parent before

the children can be saved.Your discovery of this

episode should be seriously factored into any

decision about consequences for the children who

created this nightmare plan.
