SCHOOL RESPONDS TO ALLEGATIONS OF STUDENT DISRESPECT.

By Roberta Lyons

After receiving a letter to the editor regarding an incident in Washington School, educators at the school were interviewed to clarify the school’s reaction to inappropriate student behavior.

The author of the letter, a local Cloverdale woman with a student at Washington School, reported that her daughter told her about: “a handful of children that bragged about being from Mexico and said that the Mexican flag was the future flag of our country. They then tore out the American flag from their Social Studies notebooks.â€

He also didn’t feel that it reflects the attitude of parents. “Most of the parents truly feel this is the land of opportunity, he said.

Then just where in the hell are they getting these ideas of reconquista?--from their parents. I'm sure that they are not thinking up these things out of the blue.

I agree. I'm going to write a letter to the editor and give them the absolut ad and tell them about the boycott of Absolut and that it may very well hinder the acquisition by Pernd Ricard of France. Then I'll ask, "where do you think a Swedish company gets this idea? From a dream they had or from a real movement?"

Lay it all on them, Gogo!

If I can find the author of the letter I think I may have a strong ally there. I bet I'll get an activist. I also would like to join with them to try and get (287g) implemented in the town.

I don't think it would be hard at all to find the "Disrespectful" students .
DITTO : Go get'em Gogo

My dander is up.

..He also didn’t feel that it reflects the attitude of parents. “Most of the parents truly feel this is the land of opportunity, he said...

This is the problem...they want the opportunity with none of the responsibilities of integrating and becoming an AMERICAN citizen!

Exactly right! This is the same school last year that had three boys wear Mexican flags over their graduation gowns.


Thanks for this MyAmerica I'm going to use it in my letter to the editor and the school:


"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.
But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all.
We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt
