Why would you let her get involved with a communist then? Communists murdered, tortured and enslaved far more people than the Nazis. Compared to the communists, Nazis are the saints!

Please read your history book, well, maybe not your leftist history book. The history book.
Psst, capitalists murdered and enslaved more than communists.

They had a 300 year head start and are still at to this day.

Circumstantial evidence? Possibly. Why do you think he won't sign the bill...?
Dunno. Good question. Saw this today.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pushing back harder on Russia, the Trump administration accused Moscow on Thursday of a concerted hacking operation targeting the U.S. energy grid, aviation systems and other infrastructure, and also imposed sanctions on Russians for alleged interference in the 2016 election.

It was the strongest action to date against Russia by the administration, which has long been accused of being too soft on the Kremlin, and the first punishments for election meddling since President Donald Trump took office. The sanctions list included the 13 Russians indicted last month by special counsel Robert Mueller, whose Russia investigation the president has repeatedly sought to discredit.

I just repped you and Marlow, and would rep you again if I could.

We all have good intentions, or at least most of us do. We just have different ideas about how to best achieve them. It's a challenge, but it needn't be a reason to hate, or to forget the good things we all want.

Thanks Cat. You're a class act.

The note says the student did not follow instructions. It doesn’t say anything about not participating in a walk out.

Better find out what really transpired. There’s always two sides to a story.

Indoctrinating them against Freedom & Liberty. Teaching as it is a bad thing.

Sad state of affairs in the land of the free, home of the brave.
Land of the wimps, home of the betas.

What prey tell does public education have anything to do with that?

You forgot Quakers, Congregationalists, Lutherans, and Transcendental Meditators.

It doesn't look like anything. The images state they were obtained from a student and that the student was disciplined for not following instructions to participate in the protest and leave his classroom.

There isn't any reason to believe the papers were forged by the NRA...that's just paranoia.
Or maybe the Russians did it?

So? It was the day of the walkout. And the images are accompanied by text that documents that the suspension was issued in connection with the walkout and the student's refusal to participate.

You and I let these kids down, and they are smart enough to see it and are doing something about it. Any politician who doesn't wise up will find how much clout these kids have, when they begin to vote, and vote they will.

Nonsense. There is no evidence that this "whole generation" is smarter (actually IQ is falling), and certainly they are not "braver", having not participated in any personal trials that test bravery, and their purported "concern" is manifested as aggressive meddling and interference with the freedoms and natural rights of others. If anything this generation is a group of subversive and obnoxious antis..they are "anti" everything. Being objectionable and annoying are not any kind of credentials.

The only reason they cannot go to school safely is because there is something really wrong with the under-30 population. We never had these incidents before. And a large part of the disease that afflicts this generation is the permissive and progressive policies endorsed by the left, to which so many of these young people belong.

There is no evidence of that. It makes no sense to allege the OP concocted this stuff out of thin air.

That's a matter of safety. The school authorities need to be able to ensure that all students are safe. Having a group outside the school building, and other groups scattered around inside school classrooms, requires more supervision than having two groups outside - those protesting and those not protesting. In the case you quoted, the situation will have been assessed and the decision taken that all students should evacuate the building.

If you're concerned that your local school has socialist or communist education policies, why don't you run for the school board, instead of posting twaddle?
Safety is usually a primary excuse for tyrannical behavior. Like the security theater we see from the TSA. The idea you must be compelled to leave your classroom, where you spent the entire day in safety, in order to join a protest, which COULD be the target of a mass shooter disgruntled with gun-grabbing leftists, is just nonsensical.

There isn't any practical difference. They both rely on the application of State force and violence to deprive people of personal liberty and property.
