Our Anti-Religious, Anti-American, Arrogant Schools
-By Warner Todd Huston
Two stories from this week shows how out of control our fetid schools have become. In New York a young boy is suspended because he dared to carry his Catholic rosary beads in school and in Virginia a principal refused to allow a mother to take her own child out of school to go to a doctor’s appointment scheduled months ago. Both reveal an arrogance of school administrators that is sure to outrage any liberty loving American.
In the first case in New York’s Rockland County, young Jason Laguna, a former Alter Boy and proud Catholic, faces suspension merely because he dared to carry his rosary beads in class. School thugocrats claimed that the rosary beads marked young Mr. Laguna as a “gang member” and pronounced that he should be punished for such a violation.
In the second case in Chesapeake, Virginia, a school principal told a mother that she would not be “allowed” to take her own daughter out of class to take the girl to a doctor appointment that had been scheduled for months. How did this arrogant cuss of a principal imagine he had the right to deny a parent the ability to control her own child’s appointments? Why he sent a letter home saying so, that’s why.
It is amazing that we are living in an America where religious children in New York can be persecuted for their religious practices or a country where a Virginia mother is barred from taking her own child out of class for a doctor appointment. But this is the arrogance of our school administrators in stark relief. This is the Orwellian world in which we live, a world where mere school employees imagine that they have the despotic powers to summarily control the lives of the children under their care and the power to deny parental rights at any given time.
These stories prove that our mis-educational system is completely out of control and has crossed the line from a system serving the citizens to one imagining itself to be wholly unaccountable to them.

Even those of us teachers who quietly carry our rosaries in public classrooms will tell you that gang members abuse the the cross by displaying their gang colors on rosaries. Don’t let thugs fool you by claiming it’s a religious issue.The real religious kids are respectful and don’t flaunt their rosaries.
You didn’t identify your city but I must say… you have extraordinary gang members if they are proud Catholic, Alter Boys!
Do you really believe that thugs abusing religious articles is justification for violating people’s constitutionally protected rights?
