Reply #6: The permission slip thing also - like it is sex ed requiring an OK by the parents.

It truly is unbelievably disgusting and upsetting.

They are treating him like a pedophile or something - like we need to be real concerned about him being around the children.

It.makes.me.sick.

I called both schools my kids go to and the Principal of one called me back. They are both Catholic schools - one elementary and one a middle school.

The secretary at the elementary school and I commiserated. She is an Obama supporter (as is most of the rest of the staff & Administration) and was very upset by the entire disgusting specticle - and by some phone calls she had gotten. The Principal called back to say they weren't showing it live because of logistics and timing. They did get the entire school together for the Inauguration but it was very difficult and she thought about 2/3 of them didn't really understand it. I thought it was great that they did that. I think the teachers will decide whether and when to show it but things could change by tomorrow.

At the middle school, a volunteer was answering the phones and she hadn't gotten any calls but she had only been there for an hour and a half. She thought people were being ridiculous too.

There just doesn't seem to be anything too low for the Republicans to stoop to right now.
