[Rhodes22-list] Public Education - Yeah, it's POLITICAL

[Brad Haslett]

Herb,

My first thought after watching the video was, "how would Father
Tribou handle this"?  The good Padre (50+ year leader of Boys Catholic
HS - Little Rock) would have made the kids wear their costumes to
class for a week or invited them to his office smoke a cigar
(something most students only got to do with him once - graduation
day).

I blame the cops as much as the principal.  Doesn't anyone have the
balls or common sense to tell people to "go pound sand" anymore?
