Incident spurs call for school use review
A city School Committee member says she's 'appalled' at how GOP guests treated a classroom.

PORTLAND - One School Committee member, saying she's "appalled" by the behavior of some of the Republicans who used a room at King Middle School last weekend, wants to protect the city's public schools from future harm.

...............................

"We allowed them to use the space and I'm appalled that they would go through a teacher's things, let alone remove something from a classroom," Thompson said Wednesday. "We want the public to use school spaces, but they need to respect that it's a school and understand that they should leave it the way they find it."

The Republican State Convention was held at the Portland Exposition Building, which is on Park Avenue, near the middle school. Party members from Knox County caucused in a classroom used by eighth-grade social studies teacher Paul Clifford.

When Clifford returned to school on Monday, he found that a favorite poster about the U.S. labor movement had been taken and replaced with a bumper sticker that read, "Working People Vote Republican."

1. Evidence for why GOP was so opposed to Obama speaking to school kids via TV

They know THEY are engaged in really obnoxious propaganda, so they project that onto DEMS. They accused Obama of propaganda in that address to young people, because they damned well knew that is what THEY'D do with such an event.

And the FAUX watchin twits who pulled kids outta school that day probably had a gut feeling of the same projection, even if they were not aware on a conscious level.

Don't even get me started on the hypocrisy of Republicans who holler about THEIR property rights and privacy while violating others.

Cork soaking sumsatwitches.

5. The basic instinct of many slaves is enslave others in order to protect that to which they have

sacrificed themselves.

It's ironic that they regard their Slavery, having relieved them of ALL responsibility to identify reality for themselves, as "freedom" and, thus, justify their oppression of others in the name of an illusion that they refer to as "truth".

7. Republicans are like unruly eighth-graders.

I'll bet most of the kids in that social studies class are better behaved than your average Republican.

"Working People Vote Republican."

Yeah, working people who are total suckers.

8. Bingo.

Total suckers, and/or more interested in hatin' them some gays/blacks/latinos/women than in defending their own economic self-interest.
