Heck, I recall Richard Nixon piñatas.


I agree: free, although distasteful, speech. However, such should be prohibited within the grounds of public schools.


So, during public protests, pull out your favorite piñata to bash about. Go out into the front yard of your house and have at it. Do it in the privacy of your bedroom. Do it at private schools. But, tax-payer funded public schools? No.

I'll let the school worry about it if it happened to violate any of their policies. *shrug*

It should be a capital crime to mock or insult Dear Leader Trump. The founding fathers didn't travel all the way to the New World to setup a country where the average citizen can insult any elected official at anytime. They saw the damaging effects of letting run of the mill citizens openly criticize King and Country and they were determined not to let that type of subversive freedom take hold in the US. The First Amendment was never designed to protect anti-American speech directed at a white right wing President by communist traitors.

Hitting a piñata in school. The conservative outrage. Ship them off to North Korea for re education.

Looks like we are in agreement, these actions do not violate any government rules, maybe some school rules. But stuff like this is ridiculous and honestly creepy. I was against it when conservatives did it with Obama pinatas, I am anti Obama. It just isn't productive and it almost normalizes violence.

Parents, teach kids to debate and protest legally. Don't let your kids be some radical whacko. Not good for your kid and if we raise generations upon generations of this, we can look forward to a very scary future.

Not only fired, but banned for life from any rodeo related activities anywhere in the USA, not to mention the 100's of death threats and a DOJ investigation into the MO state rodeo association.

Does OC bus these illegals and anchor babies in from LA or is this just the new normal?

I can see a new reality show “Illegals of the OC”....

Still haven't seen any conservative outrage. (at least on this thread)

Why do you suggest that anyone gives a rat's *** (if people hit a pinata?) ?

(maybe shouldn't have a political statement being made at a public school, but that's more a school rule thing.)

True

I'm a conservative, And i am not outraged..why would I be, there are very few things liberals do anymore that surprises me..They stoop to such low levels to try to make a point.its rather pathetic than outrageous
