yeah, these schools had it coming for playing the national anthem. Just like wearing a short skirt at the bar when you know there's a bachelor party in there. It's really the school's fault.

The will of the vast majority of students and parents shouldn't be overruled by a very small, vocal minority.

This is no longer America. Kids can't sing the National Anthem. If you walk down the street wearing a hat that says "Make America Great Again" you'll get your arse beat in most of the country. If you support the President of the United States of America in the United States of America, it is "hate speech." How is all of this happening when the liberals LOST the last election???

Do high schools still do the pledge in the morning before the day starts? I remember in HS, every day a different student was picked to read the pledge. It was a big deal if you got picked to read it. But since there were way more students than the number of school days, not everyone got picked. Including me. I was pissed because I always wanted to read the pledge.

I remember one time a guy in my class got into it with the teacher and in order to piss her off he decided to not stand for the pledge. He did it for about a week. Everybody in the class thought it was funny.

Maybe you actually don't know what false equivalence is...man, the statistics about poor education in the south is true. Sad!

I'm trying to say I'm with you. We need to demand that the flag be removed from the schools and history classes suspended until this all blows over. We don't want to upset these fragile children.

If the school sees a sense of uproar and violence. They have every right to shut this down.

So is it happening or not? Because now the story reads that the anthem will be played at the pep rally?

quote:

You're blaming Trump for the retardation of the mentally small football players and their pathetically misguided protests?

no, i'm blaming Trump for throwing gas on the fire, dipshit.... maybe you should understand what is being said before writing diatribes about someone you've never met, don't know from Adam, and are incorrectly characterizing...

quote:

What's most impressive is one of your biggest demands right now is to "open a dialog" or "start the conversation" but every time someone tries to talk to you all you do is shout them down until they leave.

umm... you obviously have me mixed up with someone else....

quote:

You don't want to start the conversation you just want everyone to listen to you yell. Well guess what, we've had enough of you yelling and bitching and screaming about every little tiny thing and about how none of it is your fault and everyone else is the problem. Take a long hard look in the mirror.

again, obviously not me..... i don't "yell" as a posting style.... not sure who you are meaning it to, but it ain't me...

quote:

It is only serving to further push you to the fringe and galvanize your opposition.

no, i'm still firmly in the middle... i never said i supported what they were doing... i said Trump inflamed the situation, when it was otherwise unnecessary, and that he has bigger, more pressing concerns than that of football players taking a knee or not....

quote:

The social media faux outrage brigade is an exciting and wonderful phenomenon. It'll be studied in sociology classes in the future.

i agree... one of the reasons i quit Facebook, which was the only social media i had, was because of Pro-Trump shite vs. Anti-Trump shite... BOTH sides are fricking stupid and childish...

quote:

I've never seen a people so quickly and efficiently destroy their own causes, but damn y'all are good at it.

"y'all"? oh, you are trying to lump me in with what you know of the "left".... yeah, i'm not a leftist Democrat... perhaps you should stop stereotyping everyone that disagrees with your stance so much... you do realize that you can dislike Trump and not be a Democrat, liberal, leftist, etc.?

quote:

You have no substance. No goal. No foundation to your protests and rants and rhetoric. You're an uneducated mass of people flying on a wave of ignorant rage and wind. It's why the moment one of you is challenged on an issue you do one of two things: pivot immediately to another issue, or resort to personal attacks to overshadow the point and belittle the conversation.

solid melt.... i mean, 10/10...

quote:

The guy next to him could shite his pants and you'd blame Trump for the smell.

again, you really have me confused with someone else, you have to... i've praised him for the very little that he as done, in the way of the trade deal with China, pressing NK, etc... even though i despise him as a human being, i give credit where it's due.... but there ain't much credit due with him... sorry, there just ain't...

quote:

We should all be on the side of America and our country's continued prosperity

i totally agree... but being on the "side of America" allows for you to exercise your rights... that's one of the great things about a free society, like we have... and those dudes, while i may not exactly think it's the right way to go about it, have their right to do what they are doing AND still be on America's side... it's just that they feel America isn't exactly on their side, and THAT is what all this about ... bringing awareness to their perceived level of inequality....

quote:

All of this divisive identity politics and fringe alignment tactics serve to do is keep us distracted from the real issues. For most social issues and political issues there is no black and white. There is a massive field of gray we have to learn to navigate together.

i agree... both sides are guilty, both sides are stupid.... what else you got?

What do you think about the statistics that disprove the "police genocide against blacks" narrative or the appalling black on black violence statistics?

Every high school should have the National Anthem playing along with the words to Pledge of Allegiance, old glory, grand old flag, and other patriotic tunes during P.E., lunch time, and anyone who doesn't like it can GTFO the USA...

THESE PEOPLE ARE STUPID. PLAY THE ANTHEM, If you FIGHT, YOU'RE TOSSED OUT OF SCHOOL

I will not be attending Cookin in Central this year and I volunteer to run the Italian booth every year to make money for that town. NO MORE.
