So what; they’re fighting in our name and dying in our name… Why would we allow them to speak to our kids about duty, honor, and service to their country?
A national tour featuring decorated veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan won’t be stopping at Forest Lake Area High School today as planned, after school leaders abruptly canceled the visit.
Steve Massey, the school principal, said the decision to cancel was prompted by concerns that the event was becoming political rather than educational and therefore was not suitable for a public school.
He said the school had received several phone calls from parents and others, some of whom indicated that they may stage a protest if the event took place.
“The event was structured to be an academic classroom discussion around military service. We thought we’d provide an opportunity for kids to learn about service in the context of our history classes,” Massey said. “As the day progressed, it became clear that this was becoming a political event … which would be inappropriate in a public setting.
Nice move, Mr. Massey. A bunch of libtards start shouting and complaining and you cave in. No wonder you didn’t want some good soldiers giving a talk at your school; they have more character and honor in their pinky than you have in your whole quivering body.
This sets a great precedent, too. Don’t like what someone may say? Find a spineless principal and start shouting. They’ll cave.
What a joke.
