  • One little word (maybe)

    NOTE this story involved 5 or 6 years olds.

    A man in Genvia Ill had "words" with school officials, administrators, and some other parents and went on a bad language rampage in the school library.,



    During the afternoon kindergarden session a man "thought" (and I emphasise THOUGHT) he heard a class of kindergardeners NOT include the word LIBERTY when they were reciting the US Pledge of Alligence.

    He then started complaining to school administrators with loud and very inappropreiate language in the library. Because of the hostile nature of the outburst AND e-mails and facebook posting made later, school administrators called the local county sherriffs office to have an officer posted at the school.

    One more wingnut anyone?????

    I do like this comment:

    The pledge has NO official or legal standing at all. NONE! It's cute. It's nice. It's propaganda. No one should be required to say it or any other silly poem. Now I know all you right wingers and very important Christians think you have a RIGHT to make children repeat it. I think you do not. Of course, getting any of you to simply mind your own business instead of rattling on about whether the kiddies babble about God is not likely to happen.

      I'd be willing to bet he's one of those people who freak out when "Under God" is not included when in fact it was not in there in the first place.

          Which is a weird comment, since the offending missing word was apparently 'liberty' not 'God'...

          Edit: Also, apparently the kids also recite the school creed.

          ...I somehow suspect that he just heard them saying the creed.
