McCain Youth Movement is startling...!
...no wait.
Would you want to see this around /any/ presidential campaign? Very strange indeed.

Re:
If he did it while on school time using school resources, i'd agree.woodchip wrote:"The school's director didn't return our calls. According to FOX News, the school suspended the teacher in charge of the after school activity for insubordination after he posted the video online."
but if he did it on his own time, meaning at his own place, using his own resources.. then the principal is in no position to tell him what he can do.
Maybe you missed it but this looked like a high school fraternity (yes.. part of the idea behind a frat is to dress alike), but kids that age can judge for themselves about a few things. Kids that age aren't as dumb as you think they are.Thorne wrote:The kids certainly aren't able to judge for themselves.
addendum: found this regarding the video. http://www.americanjourneyblog.com/2008 ... obama.html

Re:
If he got together with the parents, outside of school, and organized it with them, then I think the principle would have nothing to say about it--the parents' wishes should override the principle. Otherwise I would say he is still responsible to the school as being in a position of educator to the kids who are sent there.Ferno wrote:If he did it while on school time using school resources, i'd agree.

I was referring primarily to the second video of the younger students. As for the high-schoolers that you seem to be identifying so closely with (;)), they are still young enough to be inexperienced in life. It's not a matter of intelligence, they're simply not equipped to judge on such a weighty matter. It is entirely a matter of both maturity and experience. That's why we don't have young folks in high-school casting ballots. Something I'm sure some ultra-liberal wing-nuts wouldn't mind changing.Ferno wrote:Maybe you missed it but this looked like a high school fraternity (yes.. part of the idea behind a frat is to dress alike), but kids that age can judge for themselves about a few things.
