“But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life – what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you’ve got going on at home – that’s no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude. That’s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. That’s no excuse for not trying.”We don't want to hear crap like that here in Washington County. We like excuses here. Illegal aliens, liberals, commies, socialists, gays, blacks…. Give us more excuses. We don’t want any threats to our way of life.
And we certainly don’t want to risk telling our children stuff like this:
“Don’t be afraid to ask questions”They just might take it seriously and then where would we be? The very foundations of this community could be shattered.
Each and every member of the BOE should be remembered for this “courageous” act of censorship which serves only to preserve and protect the standing and status of our community. What a remarkable legacy these so-called "educators" leave for posterity. They should really be proud of themselves.
Their next effort should be to purge our school dictionaries of definitions number two and three of this word. Definition number one seems perfectly adequate here.
