Thread: San Diego teacher forces kids to celebrate Mexican holiday

Absolutely. You hit it right on.

not to make anyone mad,,but why don't the parents get together and go the schools and get in their faces about this..???if we don't. nobody else will..

I agree AmericanElizabeth,

I'm sorry, but I want our schools to go back to the traditional way, like all of us grew up with. Christmas parties, Christmas programs, Halloween parties, Valentines parties. Kids need to see the joy in being alive and enjoy the magic of just being a kid, they do not allow them that anymore.

Well alabamjim, I do not live in a small town, I live in a suburb of Oregons biggest population, and it is chock full of San Francisco style liberals, thats why. Our best bet here is to get our kids out of it.

There are not enough people that can convince the others to confront school boards, here people seem to have this stupid idea that they are "gods", and their word is golden.

I wish my kids cold be back in aschool setting, in a small town, where you knew everybody, you knew the teachers and the parents made the decisions, but this is where the jobs is, so here we are.

I know people have to make a living,put food on the table and such as that.and i don't know none of you on this site, but it does"nt take that many people to go to a school or city hall to get something done..politicians,the people that run the schools,teachers,cops,fireman,and so on work for us,our taxes pay all these people..and we need to tell them what going to happen not the other way around...i don't about any of you, but if i was a major of some town and i had 20 or more parents in my face and knew where i lived,i would do all that in my power to give them what they need..and i don't see where asking,begging and fussing can do anything,if someone was hurting one of my sons,i not going to ask them to stop,nor beg them nor call the cops at first,i would take a bat to their rear end...we have to get over this fear of losing everything and fight back..sure vote if it make you feel better i plan on voting this time just to help stop the dems and liberals, but i don't think it will do any good in the long run, but there hope..if not i plan on fighting anyone and everyone that wants to take the future or this country from my childern,and i will stand beside any man or woman that want to do the same..like i said i am not putting anyone on this site down, seems to be some really good people here,we just going to have to fight for what we want and not count on the politicians to do it for us...

I've been to some meetings for parents of academically gifted
kids. There are no parents of illegals there. I have tried to argue
for an old school AG curriculum = more work, better test scores
on SAT, etc. I cannot even get the AG leader at the BoE for WCPSS
to agree that is a good goal! Guess what? The white surburban
parents don't get it either. Best I can tell, their kids having a
ego-soothing experience over getting a traditional Western
education is more important than learning some things kick
your butt trying to learn it.

So I don't think you can blame it all on the leadership.
They think I'm the outlier & if the other parents in the AG meeting
are the norm, I can see why we get loons on the school board.

For example, we have a 1 billion dollar bond up on Tue. Best I
can tell, the legal parents see it as a all-year-round school
system vs. getting to enjoy my real estate at the beach for the
summer. No one sees the need to build new schools is driven
in part by a huge influx of illegal aliens. I'm dumping my tea
bag in the harbor & voting no.
