OK here is another thing that got me riled up recently; parents objecting to having their kids listen (in school) to some words of encouragement on opening day from the president of the United States – what have we become?
As much as I hated Bush for the lying twit that he was, I would never have objected to him addressing my student children to encourage them to do well in school especially these days when student performance is down, truancy high and the drop out rate even higher and especially today when jobs are scare and an education is a must road to success in life.
These so called parents feared that Obama would give a political speech? Indoctrinate them in the ways of socialism? What the hell were these moron parents thinking he was going to say or is this just plain disguised racism?
Ladies and gentlemen, I am down on parents especially the ignoramuses that infect their children with their ignorance, prejudice and bigotry. Remember, children start out not seeing skin color or ethnicity or religion or the clothes one wears as a difference with negative connotations; the negativism comes from their wonderful parents. In fact, school is the only place where children can see and learn about a world that does not always agree with what their parents present; school is a life raft against negative parental indoctrination.
Some pundits said that this reaction is not surprising in today’s highly charged political climate to which I say bullshit; it is plain disrespect for the presidency of the United States and the person holding that office – racism!
I realize we are a divided nation but some of the people-behaving-badly scenes that I have seen on TV and read about in the papers, are very troubling. We appear to have a sub-culture of morons in our society that is larger than anyone ever imagined and that is very dangerous for our country going forward since these people obviously have spawned.
