What I want to know is where were the parents and the teachers who used to fight to avoid things being banned at their schools.

When I was a kid I remember parents wanting to ban things at our school, like Jr. High dances, the Jukebox an 8th grade fudraiser paid for at the Jr. Hi, a few books and so on. And every time someone tried to ban ANYTHING resistance was met by the teachers, a nice cross section of parents and students.

It got to the point people gave up trying to ban things because the BOE meetings would always pack with people ready to fight for freedom.

Where is that now? Well, both parents have to work because the economy is booming, teachers are scared for their jobs, school boards are scared they may not get that next lkevy through and the Religious Neo Con Right have people scared to speak out.

For the love of God our greatest strength is our freedoms and we are fucking giving them away and have people who believe it's ok, because they are so blind to the Right and their irrational hatred of the Dems.

What's sad, there are a lot of people, who speak out against gun registration or even so much as a waiting period probably support the bannings of IDEAS and SPEECH. Since when is one right more valuable and worth defending more than any other?

How pathetically sad, this nation is fastly becoming a neo-facist, dictatorship.
