Maybe you need to watch the video. Black Israelites: " crackers, faggots, and pedophiles." At the 1:20 mark (which comes after the Phillips incident) they call one of the few black students the n-word Native American with Phillips: "Go back to Europe. This is not your land" Yes, lets have a conversation on why MAGA hats are the problem. |

And we’re off! Just to clarify my comment — no matter what you think of what I think of hats, etc., it is beside my point. Taking teenagers on a field trip is a huge responsibility. Even taking my high school classes to something as innocuous as a play took thought and preparation. We learned about the play we would be seeing. We always had a little update on how to behave at the theater, besides all the usual stuff about staying together, etc. — no sneaking off to smoke or whatever. I took my responsibility for other people’s kids seriously. We all enjoyed our field trips, but in 35 years in the biz, I never had a problem being the adult. So here we had a bunch of teenage boys in DC, huge crowd, by its very nature fraught with the potential to turn toxic. For their own safety, they should not have been wearing those divisive hats. Now, here they are, faces plastered all over the world. Opinions running the gamut. If you want to argue my point, think about whether those kids would have been in this position had they not been wearing those controversial hats. I really do not think anybody would have bothered to film them. I must assume their parents knew about their hats. But maybe not. Maybe they hid their hats. Maybe those supervising the kids were hung up on being afraid of offending tuition-paying parents. Maybe they tried. Who knows. Whatever, nobody thought this one through. Those kids should have been in boring, appropriate, uncontroversial attire. They are kids. Sometimes we have to tell kids things they do not want to hear — like NO! We have to tell them for their own good, or at least try to rescue them from themselves. So, GoodLife, that’s the teacher in me talking. I have no interest in engaging in a pointless political snarkfest. And guess what — had I been your kid’s teacher, I bet you would have been glad. Last edited by Boomer; 01-20-2019 at 08:06 PM. |

A few things quickly I have learned on this thread.... 1. Most, instead of investigating simply wait to be told what to think. I sincerely hope I never get that lazy. Seem severe ? Mean it to be...we have suddenly become open to lies, half truths and conspiracy theories. 2. To some, they or their positions are never wrong, and whatever is being discussed, it is somebody else's fault. 3. Boomer nailed it on the hats. Wearing them was meant to flaunt only. I was not aware this rally was to be political ??? 4. I sleep well every night knowing whatever the issue, I insure I am well informed. I rely on no network, no individual person, or newly hatched conspiracy. I make sure I know the truth. If proven wrong, I apologize and begin to find out where I went wrong. 5. I was correct in my post on this thread....our country has been taken over by hate. We have no problem with attacking personally those who have different opinions. Do you think this hate is not apparent to our children ? Having been married to a teacher for 55 years, Boomer is correct, you would have been very lucky to have your children influenced by her Last edited by Bucco; 01-20-2019 at 08:28 PM. |

My post referring to political speech at Boy Scout Jamboree was deleted, but the meaning of this thread is our youth, and should you not think our children are "learning".....
"A high school basketball team in Minnesota has come under fire — and is now pulling out of a tournament scheduled for Martin Luther King Jr. Day — after its fans displayed a “Trump 2020” flag during a game against predominantly black inner city kids." Basketball team quits MLK tourney after fans flaunt Trump flag The hate is contagious...the lack of truth and/or morals is spreading. |

Watch the video. The Hebrew Israelites are spewing hateful racist comments at these kids, the Native American guy wades in with his drum beating inches from this kid's face, and the kid is at fault for wearing a MAGA hat? Everybody is way too quick to make judgements based on inaccurate reporting. I expect politicians like the congresswoman to make judgements without facts, but where are the editors who used to make their reporters tell the whole truth?

We have tried to let this thread run as it is an interesting topic with a lot of thoughts and opinions. However, we have reached the point where we are deleting more posts than those that are on topic and within site guidelines, so, sadly, it's time for this thread to be closed.
