So once again we See the left s real idea of free speech.

Semis its free and ok as long as they dont disagree with it.
The hate the left exhibits is enough to scare any one with half a brain right over to the other side.

keep it up you paranoid nuts. You the best thing the GOP ever had as far as winning elections goes.

JULY 21--A New York woman claims that she was forced from her teaching post by an elementary school principal who objected to her Republican activism and last year ordered the removal of a portrait of President George W. Bush from the educator's Long Island classroom. In a federal discrimination lawsuit, Jillian Caruso, 26, claims that she was improperly forced to resign her job by Birch Lane Elementary School principal Joyce Becker-Seddio, the wife of state Assemblyman Frank Seddio, a Brooklyn Democrat. In her U.S. District Court complaint, a copy of which you'll find below, Caruso contends that she was retaliated against by Becker-Seddio because of her political work, which has included volunteering at last year's GOP convention and membership in the Republican National Committee. Caruso, who taught first and third graders at Birch Lane, also claims that when the principal spotted the Bush portrait late last year--it was hanging among photos of other U.S. presidents--she "became outraged and insisted that the picture be removed." Caruso, who complied with that order, has named the Massapequa Union Free School District as the sole defendant in her action, which seeks unspecified monetary damages and a reappointment to her prior teaching post.

All you post is hate of the "left". All any of you ditto-heads post is hate of the "left". All of your "news" shows are just hate and smear campaigns, and yet you say something like that.

ESPECIALLy since you guys are constanly cry-babying that schools are "leftist indoctrination centers". If this had been someone trying to pump liberal politics into kids heads, you'd be throwing a giant tantrum about it, but since it's a right-winger trying to indoctrinate children, you don't care, and claim she's a victim.

Why are right-wingers always such wild, screaming hypocrites?

Could you throw a few more emotionally charged trigger words in there? I don't think you've met your quota.

Well, CYLLON, if you're a card-carrying libertarian (which I am also) then you're doing your party a disservice. Just because one leftist principal doesn't understand the meaning of free speech, it's not fair to use that to endight all leftists for that. All you accomplish with statements like that it to get the "righties" pissed off at the "lefties", and then the "lefties" get pissed off at the "righties" because they feel faslely accused. Thus polarizing the nation, which encourages people to vote for the Dems and the Reps.

Sorry, Cyllon, but you left this fact out of your polemic: the Civil Rights Act of '64 doesn't cover political beliefs in the workplace.

That's the principle you right wingers used to get a million people accused of communism fired during the Cold War , and still do occasion:

Is it a public school?

Yes, but, because political beliefs aren't protected in the above-mentioned, the judge disagreed that she was shielded by that fact.

How is having a picture of The President hanging in a classroom political speech?

This is nuts. We are now supposed to ignore the existence of our duly elected representatives in the quest for political correctness.

I agree it sounds ridiculous, but I'd like more details before making that judgement.

Did she have a picture of Clinton on the desk when he was president?
