Kids Going To School Tomorrow? I Think NOT

"My children will not be attending school tomorrow. I feel we have made the right decision after days of mauling it over.

The decision came after speaking to a teacher "completely off the record" in the drug store after school Friday. After small talk, I said something along the lines of "have a nice long weekend" and added that my kids may not be there Tuesday either because I felt a little uncomfortable sending them and letting them watch the inauguration without family . . . just in case something was to happen.

She responded that she did not agree with the school holding the inauguration in the cafeteria for all to watch at the same time, and this school was the only school in Worcester County to do this. I asked why?, because of the principal's wishes to do this? She said no, because the school was primary black students. She sarcastically asked if the any schools had televised an inauguration before, which of course, I knew the answer was "no."

We agreed on the fact that parents should've been invited to watch with their children and not dis-invited. We also agreed that the schools are taking a huge risk by televising such a momentous occasion with a chance of it being very disastrous (someone could be crazy enough to take a shot at Obama, etc). After reliving the conversation that we had and hashing it over with my husband, we agreed that if my children were to watch, I'd rather it be with us.

It doesn't matter who we voted for, it's the fact that all day tomorrow, Obama is going to be shoved down my children's throat. . . and why? Because he's black? Because he's promised change? Or just because he's our next president? ... when all the other inaugurations were never televised at school.

I believe that the school (instead of sending home a note stating the 'optional' dress code for Tuesday) should have sent home a permission slip, asking if their child is allowed to watch this event."

I couldn't say it better myself. We(our country) are dancing and singing when our country is in the midst of turmoil. Hooray for you Obama, now get to work and fulfill just half of your empty promises and you may be worth your salt. Note to America; our situation will be the same tomorrow as it was last week.

Sir:

It should be called the "Indoctrination" instead of the Inauguration"!!!

Where's Leni Riefenstahl now that Barack really needs her to poison the kids minds in favor of massive state socialism ("share the wealth")?

PS -- heard he loved her "Triumph of the Will"

It's interesting to compare the massive criticism directed at Bush by the mainstream media for the cost of his event 4 years ago with the lack of any real criticism with respect to Obama's coronation cost of about 4 times as much.

So you're mad that the schools are respecting the inauguration and mad that the city council is not.

I think you just like to keep stuff stirred up. How did that work for you with the school board meeting last week? Nothing?
How about just giving it a rest to see how he does? More people voted for him than his opponent, which means HE WON THE ELECTION.

GET OVER IT. Move on. Try to be an American. We're in trouble, no matter how much you want to blame it on the Democrats you can't, although that's not even what's important now. It's time to unite and do what's best for our country, which is to stop the divisive rhetoric and start saying and doing what's best for OUR country.

What could happen is the sun won't rise in the east tomorrow morning. What could happen is your toaster catches fire. What could happen and what does happen are worlds apart. If you didn't watch the celebration on HBO you wouldn't have any idea of the amount of security in DC at this time. It is unbelieveable. As you listen to Obama's speech tomorrow notice the roof top snipers right over his head. Notice the bulletproof shields surrounding him and his entourage. Notice the number of MEN IN BLACK all over the place. If anyone was stupid enough to take a pot shot at Obama tomorrow they'd never get their fingers around the trigger before they were taken out.

You can not compare mechanical failure of a space shuttle to an inauguration. What if will drive you insane.

Although I personally didn't vote for Obama I think it does signal a positive change that a person of color can be elected as the president of the United States. It does concern me though as the parent of a bi-racial child that she will see a bi-racial - not black- man dis-honor the white mother and grandmother that raised him by allowing MSM to continue to celebrate him as the first black president while at the same time he honors a white man who's only intent in freeing the slaves was to send them back to Africa. This is why I am still struggling on whether or not to send her to school tomorrow - what message will that send her?

7:07 don't send your child, hope for snow tonight and bad roads in the morning and atleast watch it with your child. I told my kids my views, I also told them that they are old enough to make thier own decisions on the subject and don't let mine or my wifes views hinders thiers. I don't know what else to do...I don't like Obama, democrats liberalism, tax and spend etc..They know that and now its up to them!

If we do have bad roads, the decision to close school would save the BOE arse on this one!

The problem with most of what I read and what school administrators, teachers, etc are teaching are youth, is that Obama is the first Black President! This is not the case. What is history here for our country, is that the U.S. has picked a man of both races to run our country, we are showing the world that we have over come racism and that we have united as one. That is what we should be teaching our youth. That is what I will be teaching the youth that I deal with. Obama is a symbol of united, he is the best of both races, (We Hope), I will be watching the historic moment of a Black and White Man taking the seat of our White House!

All of you who keep saying that you watched the Challenger blow up on TV while at school must not have gone to Wicomico County schools- because we were closed for SNOW that day. I know because I was a Jr. in High School and had gone back to bed because there was NO SCHOOL- when I got up there was the breaking news about the tragedy.
I also remember watching Jimmy Carter and Ronald Regean's Inagurations in school.
If you want to keep your kids home so they don't have to participate in this historic event, then why don't you just home school them so you can control all that they learn. Oh that's right, you won't because YOU would not have anything to blow up into some huge deal like you've done with this. By the way... your ignorance is showing.

Aryan?

I am an American Mutt.

Irish who were treated worse than any other group of immigrants.

Italian and many of my Italian relatives still have a disdain for the Irish to this day.

Enough Lithuanian to be able to have said 'F**K Russia' many times during the cold war.

My children have both German and Chickasa Indian thrown into the mix.

Add being Catholic to all that and my 'Aryan' heritgage would be too tainted for Himmlers SS, possibly a candidate for deportation during the great depression.

The first black person I ever met was the NASA rocket scientist from Africa who shared an office with my dad.

I went to high school with Rodney King in Altadena and knew him as another kid, a fellow student.

I never knew racism or prejudice first hand until moving to Pocomoke City... Then most of the outward racism was against me from blacks...

I have travelled to every part of this great country of ours and can say, you don't get this far deep south again until you hit Macon County Georgia.

I want my son to go to school to see how his teachers and classmates behave...

Dont be surprized Joe, those anti-albero's really do think obama is the messiah. They are so "kool-aid" drunk over their own party its sickening.

When confronted with a valid point their answer always is one of two answers back ...1) your racist ! or 2) "what about bush"

This is a standard response when they get cornered down on "any" issue regarding the AGA Obama .

And their hatred towards Republicans is far worse than any racial slurs ive seen yet.

I am tired of watching the man the democrats have elected make money hand over fist with all his props and coins and plates while our country is continueously going broke. There should be a law against using America in this way. Could it be considered a conflict of interest for obama to exploit his election for his own capitol gain ? After all he is the "president" of our country.

And I too am concerned with the AA students pounding on their chest, like some sort of gorrilla, as if to claim their territory. It could and will be ugly. Not some kind of equality, but some kind of "proof" that they are superior and are ready to stake their claim.

I hope Im wrong. God knows I do.

I attended American Education Week back in November and several students did not salute the American Flag during the morning Pledge of Allegiance. I brought it to the attention of the school office and they advised they had no authority to "force" any student to stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance. So, then what is the difference? Why is my child "forced" to watch the OBAMA Comedy show tomorrow at school. I did not give the school my permission!
I think the school board has "Overstepped" their boundaires.

To all of the people who are saying snipers are there and nothing will happen: Are you all complete idiots or is there a hint of common sense some where deep down inside you? There are people every single day who are willing to die to get their mission accomplished. If someone wants this event to go horribly wrong I don't give a rats behind if every police unit and military barrack on the east coast is there it will be at the very least attempted. There are groups who would die without blinking an eye if they truly wanted to make a hit on Obama or anyone for that matter. Another thing IF there is a group or individual who is set on doing something do any of you really think they wouldn't have been smart enough to already be staked somewhere in an apartment, or in an abandoned building. You don't think they may have been the "innocent" bystanders watching as the stages were being put up and as security developed the routes for the day? Wow some of you people really are dumb.

I think obama has set his self up to be a martyr. If racism is as rampet as the democrats want us to beleive then wouldnt it be suricide for a "AA" to even consider running for the office.

Isnt this odd ? Im truely baffled by aga obama and what his "plan" really is .

And isnt it convenient to force all them impressional minds to watch him ?

Unfortunately my daughter is old enough to make up her own opinions and I remind her to try and stay open minded to all veiws and not to be sucked into following the "group" if she feels something isnt right.

And her comment to me was " They are making us watch this AA just because he got elected for president." And "it dont matter dad".

I think she can feel the vibe from all her fellow AA students. And is worried that there will be trouble. I asked if she wanted to stay home , and she wants to go and see the event go down. I told her Im just a call away and would be there to protect her if she needed me to. Shes growing up. Whaaaa Daddys little girl is growing up into a very fine person. ( Republican that is !)

I made a dentist appt for her too! :) I am going to watch it with her.(some of it, she is young) I explained why this president is so different compared to the others. She doesn't see color. I believe it is a historical event, and its very emotional to alot of people who lived during times when the blacks couldnt swim with the whites and all that crazy stuff that went on before my time. To the older black folks, this is a WONDERFUL moment for them. I just don't see black and white, in my eyes we have always been the same.

I am disappointed as a black parent and teacher that many of you have displayed such racial attitudes. Everything that we as a minority have done has been non-violent since the great Dr. Martin Luther King led us up the mountain and gave us hope and confidence to go forward with persistence. We never stopped but we as a people banned together and organized ourselves around the churches. The black race has achieved one honor to have Obama be president of America. But we are not through until we all can head up department stores, fire companies,etc. and be accepted into all the white clubs and private parties where a lot of political decisions are made.We have not achieved equality yet. Thank God we made it to step 1. With Obama steps 2,3,4,5, etc. will quickly be accomplished I pray.

Walter Smegma said...

I find it hard to believe that someone is worried black students will "beat their chests" and celebrate because someone who is partially black has won the presidency.

For the record, I'm white, an Anglo, Teutonic extraction to be precise . What are we so afraid of? This country was founded on white men beating their chests and declaring themselves superior to black people. Not satisfied with that we declared that we had a right to enslave black & partially black people for no other reason than their racial make up. Then, after abolishing slavery we, made it a super hard, 100 year road to some version of equal rights.
In my high school, blacks weren't allowed. They had their "own" school. Of course it was the 50 year old school we had abandoned when our new school was built. Every five years we got brand new text books. The black school, got our worn out, out dated books.
I would say black people have every right to hate white people, but that doesn't seem to be the case for the majority. Most seem to want to follow Dr. King's dream of equality and a brotherhood of all men. Speaking of Dr. King, I believe he did more to advance the transcendent ideals of our nation than any other person, period. At 15, I was no transcendent thinker, and being a product of the south & in high school at the time of Dr. King's assination, I didn't feel that way at the time. I mean, our town actually had regional KKK meetings at the National Guard Armory! The "joke" told by students and faculty after the assination was that "Ray should be given the strongest punishment the law allowed...a $5 fine for shooting a coon out of season." Real funny, huh?....And WE are now worried about black people being racist & celebrating the election of a person of color?
I have respect for anon 6:51. He's smart enough to know he's a racist & has guts enough to admit it. Now, can some of us who don't want to hate anymore work for a true brotherhood of man?
Isn't that what Jesus would have wanted? Some of the most racist people I know perpetrate their hatred in the name of Jesus. Rev. Jeremiah Wright is justly brought to mind. But white churches expoundend a slave holding theology. In my southern, Christian church, blacks weren't allowed. If a black person ventured in, he or she would no doubt have been escorted out, then paid a visit later to show that this kind of disrespect and impiety would not be tolerated. Our pastor often shouted to the faithful, "Bless God, it's so plain a one eyed nigger could see it" This brought many smiles and "amens." But looking back now, I really, REALLY don't believe Jesus would endorse such talk in his name.

Anon 12:57 people keep children home for all sorts of reasons, good luck proving a child was kept home because of prejudice reasons. Not to mention prejudice is not against individual rights of any American. We have the right to be prejudice if we so chose to be! I allow my children to stay home once or twice a year for no reason other than they deserve a break once in awhile. Teachers get sick days, do you really think they are always sick. If you have a job you might get sick days, are you always sick when you take off? What if someone uses their vacation but doesn't do anything for the vacation, should they not get paid for it?
Children are allowed "X" amount of unexcused absences a year, so if the child is not excessively absent there isn't a darn thing anyone can do about it.
Plus, although some are making this out to be a totally racially motivated action it isn't. There are parents who are concerned about the possibility of their children witnessing something horrible happen during this event. There are parents upset over the fact some schools are requiring children to dress in special attire. There are some parents who are sick and tired of people who don't know the first thing about their child(ren) dictating what that child must do.
My children are going to school tomorrow because unlike many who are causing a stink, I went to my childrens school and asked exactly what was going to be happening tomorrow. There is no special dress suggestions, the children will be watching the inauguration and I will be sitting my butt right there with them in the event they do need mommy for any reason. If people were truly concerned with their children's well being they would do as I am doing, or they could take it one step further and offer to provide refreshments, snacks, etc. or simply offer to volunteer tomorrow. That would require some to get off their rear ends though so I don't look for many to make that much of an effort...sigh

My 2 girls aren't going...no way. They'll get more education sitting here working on the computer than they would with liberalism and Obama worship shoved down their throat.

Keeping kids out of school today is NOT stupid. Its the fact that its never been done for any other president but this one. Why? Is it due to the fact that he is not all white? Yes sir/mam it is! If my children were old enough to be in school they would not attend today. Why is it considered racism when its the whites towards the blacks but not when its vis versa? Come on people. Think about things for a moment we have "black history month" why dont we have a white history month? Where is the racism there? This whole deal with watching the inauguration in school isn't the big deal the big deal is when it was never done for any other president but him.

He is no different then any other president we have had. It keeps being said he is our "first black president" come on he isn't BLACK! Just because he has a small percentage of black in him he is considered black?

If you are white go to UMES, you can go for free or close to it, quit whinning, white people feed from the government teat as well.

Why not let the kids decide if they are old enough? Not letting them go maybe something they regret later in life.

Working under the table and paying no taxes is worse than welfare. Plenty of people work under the table get WIC for their kids and/or go to TLC for assistance however they can afford to drink and smoke?

The hate has to end somewhere or you pass it on to the next generation.

This is no doubt a "sad day for America". Its already been said in many places by blacks "we own you now" So what will happen today? will crime rates go up due to blacks thinking they "own us white people now" or because they "rule the world" due to our so called "black" president? What will today bring?

You have now proven to be the person that we all thought you were.

It is a shame. I hope to God that your kid doesn't wind up being like you. A foolish amd hateful person.


It seems that I can't win for losing!

What part do you hope to God my kid doesn't wind up being like?

The part that grew up listening to Dr. Kings sermons and speeches every Sunday morning for over 10-years?

The part that said "I am not going to let that dumb ass Bubba redneck speak for me and my race"? when he said how can anyone thre generations from the Jungle have any brains?

Yet my fathers office mate, a NASA rocket scientist from Africa mother still lived in a hut in her village... but her son figured telemirty by hand using a slide rule?

Are you saying that you hope he does not give jobs to black people based on their talents and be the first one to provide them the opportunity to earn a six-figure income?

Are you saying he does not grow up to believe that you judge a person by who they are not what they are?

Or are you saying he does not grow up to experience the type of open racism that has been shown to me here on the Eastern Shore?

The Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia where we live is one of the few parts of the USA where Free Blacks owned slaves and traded slaves, fact not fiction and I have found cases of it over and over while chasing the title on properties here on the shore, its public record...

But reading the public records going back 400 plus years and pointing out the truth is now considered another form of racism.

My 9-year old white mixed race son has been called a 'Nigger' by his black classmates, in the classroom, in front of the teacher and she did not even look up from her desk or reprimand the students who used that language.

I don't get you...

Tyree who blasted me at first got what I was saying... it might have taken a little explanation...

But it sounds like...

Am I a racist because of excercising my right to free speech by questioning the background of our new President?

Anyone who questions the new President will now be labeled racist, while the blacks can have a party and say its our turn...

Watch out whitey...

I just don't get why the double standard is allowed.

"I explained why this president is so different compared to the others. She doesn't see color."

Gee. Thanks for explaining "color" to her! Very special moment for you I bet.

I don't get you. So what did you do to the school if you feel your kid was mistreated?

I, too, am sick of having Obama shoved down my throat. I find it funny that the black populus is holding on tightly to a man who isn't even black. He is mulatto.

I am also frustrated by the fact that as a caucasian, if I display any "white pride", I am considered a racist. Why is is politically correct to have a Black Police Officers Union (and any other "Black" anything, yet whites cannot have clubs or televison channels devoted strictly to whites?

In my experience, I have seen racism against whites displayed far more frequently than racism against blacks. In fact, I know blacks who literally hate whites because they are white.

Whites will choose a doctor, lawyer, or accountant based on his credentials and experience. Blacks will choose based on race.

Now, affirmative action: that was the death knell for equality. At this point, because of affirmative action, I will steer clear of minorities simply because I realize that a white (or other) had been bumped and replaced with a minority who scored lower all the way around.

Equality? I hope the blacks aren't counting on Obama. He may just raise the bar and force blacks to perform, just as he has had to do.
