The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

I find this f***ing pathetic, and it riled me enough that I had to write about it.

I found this at Michelle Malkin that kids are planning a "walk out" from school as an anti-war protest, marking President Bush's re-election date, November 2, 2004.

What the h*ll is wrong with anti-war extremists to be infecting the innocent youth with their vial behaviour?

Of course, you all know that the only reason kids will be walking out is because it's a rebellion. As a punk kid, I would have done the same, not for the cause, but for the time off from school.

I think we have to set up a reward programme for those kids who stay in school. Not only are they examples of a will for higher education, but they are expressing their dissatisfaction with anti-war freaks.

And that, I adore.

So, I wonder, is there going to be Seattle rioting like there was with the WTO protest in 1999 (of course, on a smaller scale)? Or, is this more a time for peace-loving, blind to reality, hippy cr*p?

I guess we'll see tomorrow.

What's worse is that apparently some teachers and school officials are supportive of the walk out. That doesn't sound much like the ethical beliefs of true education advocates if they are being one-sided in the matter. A teacher's role is not to persuade the beliefs of students, but to share information and let the students choose their own paths to take.

Teacher's aren't to spew propaganda; they are to be unbiased.

I really think the only reason why some teachers and school officials got on the bandwagon is because the anti-war freaks are the loudest and most seen. If the pro-war people flipped out like that, teachers and school officials would likely jump on that wagon instead.

It's a sorry and sordid state to say the least, but hey, at least the punks (like I was) get to take a day off school.
