Title: Sick.......very sad. Post by raydawg on 12/13/15 at 08:10:24 ATLANTA – The father of a Muslim middle school student says a teacher asked his daughter if she was carrying a bomb in her backpack. Abdirizak Aden said the teacher at Shiloh Middle School in Gwinnett County, Georgia, stopped his 13-year-old daughter, who wears a hijab, and asked if she had a bomb. Aden told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://on-ajc.com/1mfBlHj ) that both he and his daughter were greatly upset by the comment. Sloan Roach, a Gwinnett County Public Schools spokeswoman, said the teacher's comment was inappropriate and the school's principal has apologized to the family. She said the comment came as the teacher was telling students to put away their backpacks and school officials don't believe it was made with ill intent. |

Extremely poor taste, and they teach our kids and lack the capacity to understand the importance of glib or flippant humor in such matters? |

Title: Re: Sick.......very sad. Post by DesertRat on 12/13/15 at 09:34:16 I'm at college right now. After the attack in California I take situational awareness serious. A LOT a hijab wearing folks on campus. That get the stink eye. Until I hear/see them protest these types of occurrences in public or at my school, not at their mosque, they'll continue to get "special attention". |

Title: Re: Sick.......very sad. Post by Serowbot on 12/13/15 at 09:38:48 Kids hate being singled out as different. I remember a girl in my 6th grade, here in America... her parents didn't allow her to stand at the pledge for some religious reason... Jewish/Morman????... She cried... Anyway,... as a sign of solidarity, I decided not to stand with her... 3 swats on the a$$ with a wiffled ruler from the principal, straightened me right out. ;D ;D ;D |

The problem I have with our school rules is a full lock-down policy! It's AUTOMATIC! The doors LOCK and alarms sound. If I'm in class, I'm screwed. Since it's a "you must die unarmed campus"! |

Title: Re: Sick.......very sad. Post by raydawg on 12/13/15 at 10:43:03 From a different post/reply (by me) but seems to fit here as well...... Of course this is an over simplification of many existing problems, but they became bigger problems and have sprouted more problems, because we tried forcing a solution because the repair was not...... SUSTAINABLE with democracy. Of course tyranny, and socialism, and...... changes the whole dynamics of governing. If we are willing to forfeit some of the freedoms we were granted in our early documents, then we have abrogated those rights to another. And....... That is the threshold this country stands upon presently. This....... Is what those who designed terrorist activities against the USA and its allies foresaw, and decided to push us to that brink. Are we willing to surrender our freedom that we say we believe in, or, try and bend it into a new shape that we think will assure us protection? Laws against second hand smoke and business, owning guns, junk food, or suspecting a person of possible devious motivation based solely on assumptions, is this what the founding fathers imagined? You decide for yourself...... People, I pose the question, what are you willing to surrender to assure what? Using a wearing of a hijab, or a religion, is akin to banning guns to stop the killings. These are only tools, or vessels, that deliver the results their words can't attain. It will not stop the underlining cause of their hate. |

Title: Re: Sick.......very sad. Post by DesertRat on 12/13/15 at 10:58:18 raydawg, an issue I have with "cultural diversity" mandates, is that the hijab represent their UNWILLINGNESS to assimilate into our culture (melting pot). We can look at historical immigrant data to see WHO actually wanted to assimilate, and that included adopting cultural norms in regards to clothing! I have college textbooks after text on "cultural diversity" and the "compliance" I must follow or be labeled "racist". Yet, they show me absolutely no motivation to assimilate into OUR culture. |

Title: Re: Sick.......very sad. Post by raydawg on 12/13/15 at 11:29:04 Goodness, what you share concerns me. I would love to hear more on what you share and the how and why it's implemented. Now to what I think is a bigger question re: assimilation. I think we are a total sum of all that we are.... It sounds convoluted and it is ;D however, what I am thinking is human RACE must trump ( gee, that might be a poor choice of word bout now ) all other races. When we see any race, special interest group, etc, trying to promote their beliefs/rights over others, then it needs to be addressed solely on its own distinct merits, as to why? As bot pointed out earlier, "whites only" was practiced as a means to ensure their place, in society. It was wrong, and no way do we want to endorse, or promote, such mindset, and that goes for whatever side of the coin that lands up.... Rat, if you could share the stuff you referenced, and the context, it was brought to your attention in school, I would be grateful..... |

Title: Re: Sick.......very sad. Post by DesertRat on 12/13/15 at 11:42:44 raydawg, it's written into the codes of our school, along with every single syllabus issued to date. It starts with enrollment. Almost every single document has a "cultural diversity" clause in it. Then the very 1st MANDATED class: Strategies for College Success Then in subsequent courses, either thru the syllabus or as part of the professors "teaching". Now, as I am further along into upper division course work, it is spun with "nuance", carrying the "message" of mandated compliance into my Business and Finance courses. I am of a "one tribe" mentality most of the time, it is when you "mandate" I accept when they do not have to is when I draw the line. |

Title: Re: Sick.......very sad. Post by raydawg on 12/13/15 at 11:48:58 Ok, I am not sure I follow you here. Is their a distinct charge against some race, religion, or? Or is this just one of those umbrella policies that hope to make everyone feel included, as in PC will fix it? |

Title: Re: Sick.......very sad. Post by Serowbot on 12/13/15 at 11:49:05 Assimilation takes time... 2 or 3 generations... ...and that depends on how accepted people feel... Imagine trying to assimilate to their culture... :-/ |

Title: Re: Sick.......very sad. Post by DesertRat on 12/13/15 at 12:14:27 a few weeks ago I was called out because I pointed out that another student was using reverse discrimination tactics during a debate. Im a white man, it was taboo to point out their flawed logic and irrational thought. Again, F@#$ THAT! |

Well then, CHANGE, the rules ! Form a coalition that is of the same view. BE, or get a leader, for that group. Get MANY, members, to join your group. Remind the, ’school’, “They do not pay you, YOU, pay them” Have a plan, ‘B’ in your pocket. Like another school that DOES, uphold the wishes of the PAYING students. And ‘X’ number of people will Leave that school, taking their MONEY with them. Or perhaps, plan, 'C', the RACE card ! It's not gonna happen over night. But it WILL, happen. After all, someone else did it, why not you ? If none of that works, then, YOU leave, and find a school, where your are not a, ‘Fish in a Barrel’. Their ARE many ! |
