Rumble At West Seattle High
Somebody obviously didn't get the memo. I don't have full information on this yet, and it's just (so far) based on what I'm hearing on (yes, the dreaded) talk radio, but apparently last night the local Fox affiliate KCPQ Fox 13 reported that an assembly was held recently at West Seattle High School.
Subject of the assembly? "Iraq Awareness." Ahh - a debate, yes? I think it's an excellent idea for high school kids to be exposed to the several sides of a debate. Good for mental agility and general information.
Unfortunately, from what I'm hearing, it wasn't exactly like that. Sheryl Sheaffer (of Operation Support Our Troops fame), KCPQ, and others, are reporting that instead of a balanced presentation, or even a spirited debate, the youts (that's right; youts) at WSHS were gifted with a presentation reminiscent of a People's Liberation Army political passion play in some small Indo Chinese village. White silhouettes of Iraqi women and children, splattered with red paint symbolizing blood (of course), adorned the stage. Then there were the depictions of American soldiers intentionally shooting civilians. And what wacko lefty presentation would be complete without (and I kid you not) some number of adults banging on sheets of metal with spoons?
I have two reactions. 1) When in the hell are the left-wing nutjobs going to figure out that we're going to catch them doing this? 2) Was Chris Kattan in tights? Er. Sorry. That's too much even for me at 6:30 in the AM.
Again: Somebody obviously didn't get the memo. The Lefties think they have exclusive control over secondary education (that reminds me: I have a local high school teacher to excoriate here soon - fun!), but they do not. At least not to the extent that they can do this kind of PLA song-and-dance without getting "outed."
I'll wait for more solid info, but if this proves out then it's going to be somewhat entertaining to hold it up as yet another example of the Left trying, once again, to get a wider audience for the Vagina Monologues.
