RLLD 3,455 Posted September 15, 2020 They were warned that celebrating actual heroes would result in punishment. They could have instead celebrated rapists, drug dealers and murderers and would have been just fine. I give them credit for doing the right thing and standing up for the right stuff, and accepting the consequences. We have to hope that people continue to stand up for the good and right things in this world despite leftist threats and violence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously, the administrators was covertly telling the reporter that if you approve of the thin blue/red line flags, you better be prepared for a BLM flag.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted September 15, 2020 The democrats once had the blue collar vote and the heartland. Now the heartland belongs to the GOP. They won't be able to put down the salt of the Earth of this nation. No way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BiffTannen 651 Posted September 15, 2020 That is right down the road from BIff. I'm surprised by the reaction because Warren County voted 84% for Trump in 2016 and is close to 114% white. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strike 3,975 Posted September 15, 2020 I'm with Mung on this one. There is a time and place to make statements. Just like I don't like the NFL making a statement about BLM, I don't really care for individual students choosing to make a statement when they shoudn't, even if it's a positive one. These kids asked and were told not to do it and did it anyways. Good that they were reinstated as the punishment was excessive but I hope the athletic department follows through with some punishment of their own. You can't just ignore authority and not have repercussions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you read the article Reality linked to? It sounds like in this particular location what you're describing is not the case. We can't look at every particular community and think they're the same as all woke communities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinCharge 2,397 Posted September 15, 2020 This goes to my greater point that one of the rarely-discussed shifts in US politics in 2016 was that people without a college degree are voting republican. That group always voted democrat. One of the aspects of the uneducated crowd is that they do not respect authority. That's going to be a shift in how republicans think and act. The republicans are going to start disregarding authority more and more in the future and putting freedom ahead of code. A teacher tells a right wing group of students to do X and they will give them the finger and resist. Its a pretty big cultural shift. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't just ignore authority and not have repercussions. I agree with this. The notion that you get to use any event as "your platform" to protest whatever "injustice" you like needs to die. That was the issue with kaep. The NFL pussed out and now they are riding a dragon they can't get odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
