FIVE YEAR OLD TERRORIST HANDCUFFED BY POLICE?

By Ted Baiamonte

When Osama Bin Laden read his morning paper on March 15th and saw that St. Petersburg (Fla.) police officers had handcuffed and detained an unruly 5-year-old girl, after she acted up in her kindergarten class, he must have been very happy to see a new recruit in the making. What happened in Florida is that a 5 year old little girl realized that she could be as violent as she wanted to be and the liberal teachers would not do anything to stop her. She yelled, cried, hit, threw things, and even walked on desks kicking papers everywhere. The liberal teachers, fully supported by their liberal unions, which by the way have made our schools some of the worst in the industrialized world, had anticipated this eventuality though. So when this five year old girl attacked on that fateful morning they were fully prepared to liberally respond: they did nothing. Doing something would have meant physically restraining; some would say violently restraining, this poor little child, and that is just not the liberal thing to do.

But, being liberal that day did present an obvious problem. How could liberal teachers teach the kids, something they still acknowledge as their responsibility, if the kids were busy commandeering the school? The answer came to them in a flash: when liberalism fails, call the conservative police to do your job. That way you can maintain your utterly meretricious liberalism.

Florida is surely a place in William Blake's world where you can see the world in a grain of sand. When I went to school I recall that there came a day in 7th grade when John Johnson decided to test the waters ever so slightly. He bravely, or perhaps unconsciously, elected to continue talking to a friend when the bell rang to signify that eighth period math class had promptly begun. What he didn't elect to do was notice where Mr. Leden was with his 3" wide, 1/4 inch thick, yard stick. It turned out that he was perfectly positioned, having anticipated an impending rebellion, to administer a fierce blow across John Johnson's backside. The stinging sound ricochetted perfectly down the metal, locker lined walls of the third floor for everyone to hear. By the end of school that day every student within 100 miles had learned what they already knew was true, namely, such an audacious act of depraved rebellion would illicit an immediate, fearsome, and humiliating response . I still hear, feel , and see it to this day. In fact I can still see the painfully contorted expression on John Johnson's face as he held his ass and struggled back to his desk.

But today we don't do that. We call the Republican police, but only after we have taught our kids to run wild on the streets and in the schools. The result is plain to see, we have over 2 million kids in jail, and gangs control large sections of American cities. On an absolute and per capita basis we lead the world by far in freedom and prisons, despite being the richest nation on earth. Does anyone doubt that virtually all prisoners would be model citizens had they been subject to Mr. Leden's yard stick for 8 hours a day over 15 years, instead of the scourge of liberalism that has so infected and destroyed so many lives since the liberals took over in the 1960's?

Osama Bin Laden has said that we are soft and weak and liberal. He knows that he, and a 5 year old, can terrorized us, and that we will bend over backwards so as not to disturb our pacific, contented liberalisn. He beleives he can outlast us on the battlefield. Before the bombings in London the Mayor, appeasingly, had tea with a violent Muslim Cleric. After the bombings, Tony Blair said he was proud of Britain's Muslims; yesterday a GITMO commander was reprimanded when it turned out that a terrorist who had been arrested in Orlando airport, at roughly the same time Mohammed Atta (a 9/11 terrorist) came through that airport, was forced to wear women's underwear and dance with another man at GITMO.

Osama knows we are liberal, just as that 5 year year old knew it. He knows we will not spank that little girl or bomb his sacred mosques in Mecca and Medina as we randomly bombed Dresden and Tokyo in WW2. He knows that decades of peace and wealth have softened our brains, pacified our spirits, and tricked us into believing that our peaceful little lives will not ever be disturbed. He knows that liberal Democrats are now in charge, at least until he has killed too many of us. For him the trick is to kill just enough of us to properly terrorize us but not enough of us to make us call the police.





More Than 100 Teachers May Be Fired In Wake Of Scandal

Teachers Accused Of Paying For Bogus Credits They Didn't Earn

MIAMI -- A grand jury has recommended the firing of more than 100 teachers, who are accused of buying college credits they did not earn. The grand jury's recommendation follows the arrest of William McCoggle, a long-time teacher at Palmetto Senior High School. Investigators said McCoggle partnered with Eastern Oklahoma State College to provide credits for fellow teachers without class time.

Investigators said the courses that were arranged with EOSC were shams and often did not involve class time. The transcripts of the course work were so vague that teachers were able to use non-credited course work to maintain and receive certification because it appeared legitimate, according to investigators. Some teachers also used the credits for new subject area certification -- including some driver's education teachers, according to the report. Others were paid higher salaries because of bogus credits, according to investigators. According to the grand jury report, McCoggle used a program called Move On Toward Education and Training, or MOTET, to give 189 people more than 1,600 credits between December 2002 and December 2003.

Now, Local 10 has learned that even before 2002 McCoggle used another college -- Otterbein College near Columbus, Ohio to issue credits to 629 teachers from 1999 to 2002. Teacher Bennet Packman said that his complaints to Miami-Dade Schools Inspector General led to the investigation, eventually assisted by the FBI in Oklahoma. "I've been notifying members of the Miami Dade school system since September 2003," Packman said.

Local 10 has learned that 15 driver's education teachers who used the illegitimate credits have been reassigned. Officials said other teachers who paid for credits issued in English and other subjects may also be reassigned. Miami-Dade school spokesman Joe Garcia admits there were cracks in the school system's oversight. "In cases where we actually saw recertification documentation, we need to be more careful in how we review transcripts, which is something we already took steps to take care of," Garcia said. The ultimate approval on the phony credits came from the state Department of Education, according to investigators.

In any case, officials say procedural changes are likely. School administrators said they are waiting to learn the names of the teachers involved. They have not yet determines if those involved will face only administrative punishment of if their actions were actually criminal.

The usual Leftist intolerance: "A New York woman claims that she was forced from her teaching post by an elementary school principal who objected to her Republican activism and last year ordered the removal of a portrait of President George W. Bush from the educator's Long Island classroom. In a federal discrimination lawsuit, Jillian Caruso, 26, claims that she was improperly forced to resign her job by Birch Lane Elementary School principal Joyce Becker-Seddio, the wife of state Assemblyman Frank Seddio, a Brooklyn Democrat. In her U.S. District Court complaint, a copy of which you'll find below, Caruso contends that she was retaliated against by Becker-Seddio because of her political work, which has included volunteering at last year's GOP convention and membership in the Republican National Committee. Caruso, who taught first and third graders at Birch Lane, also claims that when the principal spotted the Bush portrait late last year--it was hanging among photos of other U.S. presidents--she "became outraged and insisted that the picture be removed." Caruso, who complied with that order, has named the Massapequa Union Free School District as the sole defendant in her action, which seeks unspecified monetary damages and a reappointment to her prior teaching post"

For greatest efficiency, lowest cost and maximum choice, ALL schools should be privately owned and run -- with government-paid vouchers for the poor and minimal regulation.

The NEA and similar unions worldwide believe that children should be thoroughly indoctrinated with Green/Left, feminist/homosexual ideology but the "3 R's" are something that kids should just be allowed to "discover"
