Rush Limbaugh TV- Boy sent to principal for Reading Rush

[theredberets1]

They took the book away because it was a fourth grader reading about condoms! Any parent knows that at that age they have no filter as to what comes out of their mouth at that age. How did we see a difference of opinion problem rise from this?

[deltapunk21]

The teahcer took the book away because it was written by imbaugh, not because of its so called "sexual xontent" aka political debate over contraconceptives.

Also, a lot of teachers require a student to bring a book to read during study time in case they completely finish with their assignments before that time is over. So it's not like he was reading when he was supposed to be doing homework, he was probably done.

[libertypilot]

It's ridiculous that the teacher took that book away. I've read the chapter from the book and there is nothing in there that is not appropriate for a 4th grader to know. It's better our kids learn the truth about sex and abstinance before the liberals go and hand them a condom and say "here you go kids have fun". one out of every five condoms fails and teaching kids that there are no consequences to supposedly protected sex is wrong.

[Tejanito]

Stupid liberal teachers......

[aristottlesdeathwish]

maybe because he was reading about condoms when he should be doing his work. There are always two sides to the story.

[herbs814]

Maybe you could actually listen before you start defending a spoiled babysitter (so-called "teacher"). The student was reading during private study time. "Teachers" won't admit that there are t"wo sides to the story": government schools just indoctrinate children with left-wing ideas and stigmatize anyone who actually thinks for themselves. The teacher and principal are intolerant Stalinists that will not tolerate any freedom of speech that does not conform to their left-wing ideology.

[aristottlesdeathwish]

Yes, "study time" meaning studying things that have to do with school or classes, not condoms. A strict teacher doesn't make them a liberal. Teachers can be assholes and stifle creative thinking, but you are just demonizing all of them. There are plenty of socially conservative teachers and I would know. It seems that high school either fucked you up real good and your bitter, or you have never even been to a public high school and have no idea what you are talking about.

[herbs814]

The occupation of government schools by left-wing brutes who abuse their authority to brainwash students and censor their reading and learning IS pertinent to this student's schooling. If you actually learned something in government schools, maybe you would understand the immorality of the teacher and principal abusing their authority.... or maybe you would even be able to spell "you're" or "Aristotle".

[aristottlesdeathwish]

Ah, the bad grammar defense. That is when you know people are grasping at straws. First off, I didn't know we were writing a term paper here. I might have actually cared about my spelling. Second, I have been to both a private and public school. There is little to no difference except the dress code. Third, It is not an abuse of authority If the teacher was trying to get the student to study. The jury is still out on this one until we get the teachers side of the story.

[tkirgiss]

Well, if the school was mad that he was reading about condoms shouldn't they be happy? They love condoms in public schools. Liberals are so concerned with freedom of speech....except when it's speech that contradicts them.

[aristottlesdeathwish]

Ah, but there is a time and place for everything. Reading about condoms could be done on free time. If you are implying I am a liberal, you would be wrong. I am a man of logic and spirit. Conservatism and liberalism go against both. Also, I don't understand how "freedom of speech" has to do with reading. Maybe you meant freedom to read?

[deadroses12]

The teacher had every right to take the book away. What the boy was reading (chapter on condoms) was INAPPROPRIATE material for a 4th grade classroom. Doesn't matter if it was private study time. Plus, the teacher had an obligation to take away the book since the teacher could've gotten into trouble for knowing what the boy was reading and doing nothing about it. Your argument consists of nothing more than ad hominem attacks.

[herbs814]

this from the "liberals" who insist on stealing our children away from us and teaching sexual promiscuity and homosexuality to kindergardeners.

[deadroses12]

First of all, that's a terrible argument. We're talking about one particular incident of this 4 grader, not about liberals and what you think of them or how you think they are hypocrites. You don't even know if the teacher or principal was a liberal or conservative. Plus, you are wrong. NO ONE teaches sexual promiscuity and homosexuality to kindergardeners. I've heard that from conservatives during the election. It's a GROSS misrepresentation of the truth.

[herbs814]

while I find the evidence you are ignoring, let's discuss why there should be government education AT ALL. Government education is an evil system that steals from the responsible and productive, steals our children away from us, and indoctrinates them with atheistic, anti-capitalistic, and sexually promiscuous "values". Government education dumbs down our children and turns them into deviants.

[deadroses12]

I'd like to see the evidence you found that you said I am ignoring. Can you please give me the book names, website, etc where you got this information that schools teach sex and homosexuality to kindergardeners? You're making that claim. Burden of proof is on you. Then, we can discuss government education.

not in the eyes of a Communist Liberal

[aristottlesdeathwish]

You see, you call me a Communist Liberal I call you a heartless conservative.Where does that get us? Nowhere. So let's agree to disagree until you can come up with something better.
