I think that using the girls on this winning basketball team to punish Arizona is pure political Pelosi. The girls of the Highland Park team of Illinois are being kept out of the tournament for rather silly reasons. One parent says they have had groups of students visit in China, the Czech Republic and South Africa. The assistant superintendent has said that is the safety and liberty of the girls that has caused this decision. I say that it is pure political bs that is being used. I am sure the Superintendent and the assistant are against the
Arizona law and trying to punish the people of Arizona but actually punishing the girls of the 2010 - 2011 team for their political beliefs. I really wonder if that clown though through the safety and liberty part after the school has sent students to China.
Both these two people have been invited to come on Megyn Kelly's show on Fox to discuss their decision but won't. I wonder why that is. She says that she will have one of them on or someone else from Chicago to do it for them tomorrow. I say "Get 'em, Megyn".
i didn't think school districts were supposed to get involved with politics. this is not about the safety of the girls. this is about a couple of district employees being selfish idiots. maybe they should send the team to a tournament in Mexico City and pray they return alive.
The assistant super said that Arizonas new law wasn't consistent with their values, yet they went to China ( that bastion of human and womens rights) for a tourney.
Well.....now we know why California is flat broke. With idiots in office who don't have their priorities straight is there any wonder?? And now other liberal idiots want to follow their lead!
I say find a business in Arizona and buy from it!
Also....what about the girls on the team WHO DO SUPPORT THE ARIZONA LAW?? You are penalizing these girls for a grandstand!
This Illinois school district is teaching its nearly all-white high school basketball team that color of skin still rules the day, and that when color of skin doesn't get its way, color of skin cries discrimination like good little boys and girls. White people once again get the screw due to liberal policies.
OP is so concerned about the white Basketball team from Illinois not getting to jet set down to Arizona but could care less that Hispanics in Arizona are forced to carry their immigration papers around like some 2nd class citizens.
I swear these white Tea Partiers don't have an ounce of compassion if you are not one of "them".

Oh good grief both Bush AND Obama were/are idiots when it comes to spending, that is NOT the topic.
It is absolutely ludicrous that this moronic woman feels she has the right to impose HER views and values on every girl on that team. She should be fired for even stating such nonsense. Schools are there to teach not to force their views on the children.
