Seriously.

I may be mistaken, but I believe I heard on the radio news in the last few hours that the principal and or the superintendent have backed down on this issue. Earlier comments regarding ACLU, well, do you know, this is off topic but the late not so great Senator Ted Kennedy got a bill passed in the early 80's that required we, the taxpayers, to pay the legal bills for these frivolous lawsuits by the ACLU? Yes, I could be wrong but it is true to the best of my knowledge, don't know if it is true in all cases, but it is true in some cases. This disgusts me to no end. I am sure some of you younger internet savy ones can correct me if I am totally incorrect. Thanks for the indulgence

An update from the Political Grapevine,

Pledge of Support

And finally, today was not just a normal school day for 13-year-old Cody Alicea. The northern California boy who was told he couldn't ride to school with an American flag on his bike gained national attention for the controversy.

Veterans and others all over the world complained and the school relented. So this morning, dozens of motorcycles showed up to accompany Cody to school with American flags flying everywhere including on the back of his bike.

National news tonight said they reconsidered their stand on this issue and reversed it.

Look if you don't want to be called a racist then don't malign an entire race.

Hispanic isn't a race...
It's a culture.

In times past the recognized races (biologists in general no longer recognize the concept of race in humans due to the lack of genetic diversity required) were:

Caucasian
Mongoloid
Negroid
Australoid

I don't see hispanic in that list anywhere.

Of course you can always go along with the joe sixpack/main stream media screeching definition of race.

Which makes you part of the problem not part of the solution as you erroneously believe.

We're all Americans regardless of the shade of our skin. Those of the hispanic culture not citizens of the US who are here illegally are not Americans. They need to go home and come back when they can do it within the law. Otherwise I personally feel no responsibility to support them with my tax dollars or engage in some intellectually dishonest, emotional argument based on "they're just looking for a better life".

The short of it is that the illegals are criminals who need to get the HELL out of my country!

The rest who are legal need to assimilate and become citizens or go home.

Wish I could have been there for that! Must have been an awesome sight!

(emphasis added)

So those who are resident aliens, here legally with their papers in order, need to become citizens or else leave? There's something inherently bad with resident aliens?


I am not sure I understand that, but ooookaaay. You can have your opinions on the issue.



Also, you are right about the definitions of race, despite most people's perceptions (including the US Census). Race is frequently confused with ethnicity:

An ethnic group (or ethnicity) is a group of people whose members identify with each other, through a common heritage, consisting of a common language, a common culture (often including a shared religion) and a tradition of common ancestry (corresponding to a history of endogamy).

Hispanic is a ethnic group, not a race. So one may be prejudiced if judging people by their apparent ethnicity, but not racist.
