Disgusting School


       This morning a Michigan school denied entry to an officer in uniform who was walking his daughter to work based on fears that students would be offended by the presence of an American soldier. This form of discrimination is gaining prevalence in our society and we need to discuss how and why this is happening, and what can be done to fix it.
       The Superintendent of the school has apologized for the schools action but the security guard has not been fired. Beyond just public perception their needs to be consequences for this type of discrimination. The security guard should have been let go and charged with discrimination. unfortunately this is not an isolated event.
      Schools across the country are over stepping their bounds by infringing on parental rights and denying freedom of expression out of fear of offended parents. I don't ever remember a school official asking if I was offended or not about anything. The bottom line is these days Americans fear conflict and while intentions may be good it must be know that you cannot appease everyone, and we should not demonize our soldiers in uniform because of pacifist teachers or children who don't know any better.
