Tancredo Asks the ACLU to Represent Illinois Student

****UPDATE 10/27/05*****
At the request of my readers, I have located the name & contact information for the Principal of Larkin High School. His name is Richard Webb, and here’s what is listed underneath his photo:

“As the principal of the building I oversee all programs at Larkin High School including school climate, campus operations, school improvement, and student programming. I can be contacted by calling (847) 888-5200 xt. 5205 or by emailing webb_r/lhs@dns.u46.k12.il.us.

Together We Achieve…Together We Succeed”

What’s this about “togetherness?” Is he speaking about his obvious loyalty to Vicente Fox?? Gimme a break! WRITE AWAY, people!
*************************************************************

Yeah, we’ll hold our breath on this one. Republican Congressman, Tom Tancredo, has asked the ACLU to represent a student who refused to stand for the Mexican National Anthem at his public high school. Apparently Larkin High School in Elgin, Chicago, Illinois, was holding a “cultural awareness” program, and the school officials are none-too-happy with the son of Robert Bedard, who spoke for his son because he is a minor. Bedard:

“…complained that his son was being coerced into showing support for a foreign government, arguing, “I would be happy if they will not try to force students to honor patriotic elements of another culture unless they also honor our flag, our anthem as well.”

Tancredo also wrote to the President of the ACLU requesting that they step in and help this minor who was target by the school’s administration for his personal choice to not participate in this event. Tancredo’s letter in full:

Ms. Nadine Strossen

Dear Ms. Strossen,

As you may know, a student in an Illinois public school was recently disciplined by school authorities for choosing to stay seated during the playing of the Mexican National Anthem. According to press reports, the student was concerned that paying homage to a foreign government by standing may have jeopardized his upcoming enlistment in the military.

The case has received some attention in the media, and I was wondering if your organization plans to take any action on behalf of this student, or any of the other students who may have felt coerced by the “officially sponsored” nature of the activity.

As recently as 2003, the Colorado chapter of the ACLU filed a lawsuit in federal district court challenging the constitutionality of school sponsored recitations of the Pledge of Allegiance. The ACLU’s state legal director at that time told the media, “Public expressions of belief in the ideals of liberty and justice should be voluntary, not coerced.” If the ACLU feels that asking students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance constitutes “coercion”, I would imagine you would be equally concerned when students are compelled to pay homage to a foreign nation.

Additionally, one verse of the Mexican Anthem starts with the following words:

For in heaven your eternal destiny, has been written by the hand of God. The ACLU is well known for its ongoing effort to banish religious references from every corner of the American public square, and these lyrics are at least as religious as the Pledge. After reading the words, I was doubly surprised that your group has not already sprung into action to characterize the event as an unconstitutional “establishment of religion.” I look forward to hearing from you on the ACLU’s plans as they apply to this case. Thank you in advance for your time.

Gotta love the zinger at the end! He really gives the ACLU no chance but TO respond, but now, really… are any of us out there who are realistic about what to expect from the ACLU going to hold our breaths over this one? Don’t bet on it. The ACLU cares more about representing the rights of foreign illegals and criminals than they do the rights of American citizens.

I’m anxiously awaiting to see how far this one goes… but again, I’m not holding out high expectations on this one. I think Tancredo is onto something. In fact, it might be a good idea for all of us in the future to demand the ACLU get involved ANYTIME a citizen of the United States has their civil rights violated.. and that includes Christians, Republicans, Conservatives, etc., whenever we are “oppressed” by the looney Left.

Comedy Act Targeted by ACLU

by Site Administrator — Categories: ACLU Lunacy — Leave a comment
Since when is comedy subject to ACLU reproach? Well, it’s happening. It just so happens that this comedy duo has a positive message, and are “faith-based,” the ACLU finds malefaction at one of their flyers being handed out at a public school, according to the Washington Post.
According to the article:

Critics said the trouble is not with the program itself, but with invitations to a “faith-based” party that the pair distributed. Rick and Mick Vigneulle, identical twins, have performed at the White House and conducted chapel sessions for professional baseball teams.

Their Web site says the pair has answered the call to reach unchurched teens, because statistics show that 85% of people who make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ will do so before their 18th birthday.”

But when the twins are cracking jokes onstage at public schools, Rick Vigneulle said yesterday, they are careful to keep it secular. “We work at keeping it that way so there is no misunderstanding,” he said in a phone interview. “Our hope is not to offend but to help a lot of different students from different backgrounds.”

The Vigneulles have been the subject of complaints before, including from the ACLU of Virginia after an appearance at a Williamsburg public school. Kent Willis, the Virginia ACLU executive director, said he did not take issue with the assembly but with the distribution on school property of fliers to attend a faith-based pizza party.

Similar invitations were extended at the Charles County assemblies. “Rick and Mick walk the line,” Willis said. “Their purpose is clearly evangelical, but they do these secular performances as a way of encouraging students to attend the religious events.”

Rick Vigneulle, 51, said he is upfront with school administrators about their intentions at the off-campus pizza parties called “Pizza Blasts.” The fine print of the Charles County flier said the event was a “faith-based program” that was not sponsored by the schools. “We’re going to do ministry to students because that’s who we are,” he said. “We’re not asking those students to join churches. All we’re trying to do is get them a connection.”

What I don’t get is that this group is not trying to promote one religion over the other, and neither is the school? If this comedy duo did not say anything about religion, but just sent out a message of abstinence from drugs, alcohol, and other things, this would not be an issue for the ACLU?
Why is it they are so anti-Christian? They are the same idiots that want to ENSURE rights to Muslims, Atheists, and every other regious groups out there? I just don’t get it.

This is Breaking News?

The PoliticalTeen broke this news shortly after Breitbart’s article was posted on Drudge. From their laundry list of things in “Karl’s garage:”
“_Some cardboard file boxes stacked one on top of the other, labeled “Box 6,” “Box 4″ and what appears to be “Box 7.” No sign of boxes 1, 2, 3 and 5.
_What appear to be paint cans stacked alongside a folded, folding chair.
_A rather large wood crate marked “FRAGILE” and painted with arrows indicating which way is up. On top of the crate, two coolers.
_A tall aluminum ladder.
_A snow shovel leaned in front of another cardboard box.
_Wicker baskets inside of wicker baskets on top of a shelf running the length of the rear wall. Transparent plastic storage bins crammed with indiscernible stuff. Another cardboard box.
_In one corner, the rear wheel of a bicycle sticks out, along with what appears to be a helmet.
_Another ladder, this one green, leaning sideways.”
Oh, the horrors! A ladder? A bicycle? “Indiscernible stuff?” What’s next? A glimpse at what might appear to be a VHS cover of something labeled “Evidence from the Grassy Knoll?” This is just plain pitiful, and the AP should be ashamed – but they won’t be.
… “what appears to be a helmet”? What else would you find beside a bicycle? These people must be having a SEVERE news outage!

MSM Continues The Lies

by Site Administrator — Categories: Media Bias, Race Warlords, Tragedy — Leave a comment
PoliticalTeen has an excellent post today about the obvious and blatant MSM bias. Although it is widely known that the “white supremacists” had already been long gone from Toledo, ABC continues to report the violence that erupted as being perpetrated by the “White Supremacists” themselves. By the way, the last I recall, I don’t think “white supremacists” allowed blacks in their organizations? (Photo from FoxNews.com)  

Maybe if they had been watching the riots like the rest of us did on Fox, they might have known the truth about what happened. I too, like PoliticalTeen, am flummoxed by the lack of coverage fo this live-event, that lasted for hours. Only Fox News had anything about it the day it was happening. Heck, all they really had to do was listen to what the Mayor said afterwards “Toledo Mayor: Neo-Nazis Had Right to March.”

Maybe ABC was late to the story because they use the same canoe they have over at NBC’s “Today Show.”

Update on Toledo Riots

by Site Administrator — Categories: Crime, Race Warlords, Tragedy — Leave a comment

The Toledo Blade reporting on the happenings of today. And, they have a good image gallery of pics from the day’s events. 

By the way folks, don’t get hung up on the “pro-Nazi rally erupts into violence,” because that’s not the case. The permitted, pro-Nazi group (which I do not agree with), had already disbanded and left the area when these career criminals decided to take advantage of an opportunity to steal, vandalize, and once again, prove that mob mentality will be excused.

Okay, so I understand they were upset by city officials who granted them the permit to have the rally (which, by the way, had been known about for a couple of weeks), but these same criminal thugs would also want THEIR free-speech rights protected if they so chose to express it (which they did, by the way, but in a criminal manner).

I was incredulous when I saw the video images on Fox News of this throng of thugs throwing bricks & rocks into the windshield of ambulances that were entering the area to help people! Even the local news reporter’s vehicle was attacked by a protestor (~cough~) or protestors, breaking their car/van windows with their fists!!! What the F*** was this all about??? This was a “protest” against the “pro-Nazi” rally? Give me a freaking BREAK!


Criminals will always look for an excuse to do what they do best – break the law, violate other peoples’ civil rights, and profit by their own thuggery & savagery. By the way, if they’re so proud of their message, why do these common criminal always hide their faces?
