The wingnuts are planning to keep their kids home from school next Tuesday to keep them from hearing a national adress to students by President Obama.
This is their best move yet. But really, how else could they make sure that the next generation is just as stupid as they are. That's right - by boycotting SCHOOL!
JUST SAY NO TO SCHOOL!!!
I received a Facebook invitation from some woman I don't even know, but apparently we went to the same high school, inviting me to join a group and boycott school next Tuesday to protest President Obama's speech.
I replied that this was a great idea, because then we could all stay home and listen to Rush Limbaugh.
Despite her apparent disdain for education, she understood my sarcasm, and replied that it was mindless idiots like me that listen to the "propanganda" [sic] of the Left and make her worry about the future and direction of this country! And she called me a "pinhead."
Ok, the irony was too much. She advocates boycotting school, and I'm an idiot. I asked if the idea to boycott school was her idea, or did she get this from, I don't know, some propaganda peddler on the Right.
That didn't go over so well, and she called me an "uptown attorney liberal freak." And she said I never said hi to her in high school (25 years ago), but now I want to tell her how to raise her kids.
I'm not uptown!
Anyway, I am ignoring their rants about "indoctrination," Hitler youth and the argument that President Obama is undermining Christianity with a government take over of community service. I just boil it down to a boycott of education.
Aren't they really saying:
We will not be educated! We will not go to school! We don't need no book learnin'! Fox News and Rush will tell us all we need to know. The tyranny of education will not stand!
Carry on.
