    I'm not trying to rehash this just to be a dick but make a real point. A person here who clearly has a good heart made an effort to defend us by saying poor inner city kids should go to the library to make up for the fact that the schools they are subjected to are garbage. He liked this post.

    Yes, I said subjected to because I sure as shit wouldn't let my kid go to one of these schools where everyone loses.

    I brought this back up because I feel like we think everyone should do what we would do and do it from the same starting point that we start. That isn't reality.

    Public Schools are vastly different over the last 20 years. More and more parents are pulling their kids out of the traditional public schools and putting them in Charter or Private schools.

    The traditional public schools also have dual education tracks in place creating an elitist system. It's interesting seeing how our public schools evolved during my lifetime. Most of my colleagues are leaving the teaching field entirely for a new career.

    I honestly don't wanna know about it. My sister in law is an elementary school teacher. The things I hear are ridiculous. I actually sort of tune out when she talks about it.

    I remember something about the principal hiding a special needs kid in an advanced class for a semester....I don't remember exactly what the deal was but it sounded shady.

    That is back home in Washington. Here we have the bottom ranking schools of the 50 states pretty much every year and they have lotteries to get kids in decent schools.

    Cause you don't have enough privileges in you account to cover them?

    Now Denny's going to take another 35 of your privileges for the insufficient privilege fee

    So all he has to do is to always insert the modifier "most" in front of "white people," and you'll get off his ass?

    If I were Dviss, I'd take that deal, then remind you whenever you break it.

    I'll take a stab.

    I think Nate's point is this. If him or someone else were to come in here and say "All blacks do this, xxxxx" DVISS would flip his shit and call us racist/bigots. Meanwhile he does the same thing when referencing white people.

    All blacks voted for Obama. Or at least most did.

    (so did plenty of white people)

    Now what?

    They live in New Zealand; they weren't allowed to vote for Obama.

    Local Sheriff's union wants law enforcement to suspend details protecting the Miami Dolphins

    The Broward County Sheriff's Office Deputies Association, a union that represents local deputies in the county's largest law enforcement body, is calling for the suspension of details that escort and otherwise protect the Miami Dolphins as a response to four players kneeling during the national anthem in Seattle last Sunday.


    The letter from union president reads as follows:

    "To Everyone,


    "Today, I contacted the executive board of the Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputies Association Local 6020 in reference to the actions of a few Miami Dolphin players. As a law enforcement union, we certainly encourage people to exercise their constitutional right of freedom of speech. However, in certain professions, an individual’s freedom of speech must take a back seat to the organization or government entity that they choose to represent. Even the NFL’s governing body and the ownership of individual teams set strict policies in order to make sure players represent the league in the most professional way.


    "With this said, I can not fathom why the Miami Dolphin organization and the NFL would allow the blatant disrespect of the American Flag and what it stands for during the national anthem. It is a privilege to play in the NFL, not a given constitutional right. The Miami Dolphin players, staff and family members enjoy full police escorts from the Broward Sheriff’s Office on a regular basis. These escorts often involve putting the men and women of law enforcement agencies at risk as they block intersections during peak traffic times in order to expedite the travel time between facilities.


    "We have buried coworkers who have unnecessarily lost their lives protecting the lives of individuals. Some law enforcement officers even lost their lives while protecting the lives of the very same individuals who were protesting against law enforcement. The Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputies Association Local 6020 is seeking the immediate termination of all Miami Dolphin escorts until such time the Miami Dolphins and the National Football League set forth a policy that will not tolerate the disrespect of the American Flag and National Anthem during any sanctioned games or events.


    "We no longer support an organization that values financial profit over a minimum conduct standard. What good is it to ask singers to sing the national anthem, honor guards to preform services or ask the United States Air Force to conduct fly overs during the National Anthem if the same organization will not even set a minimum code of conduct for its players?


    "Until further notice, I respectfully ask all members of law enforcement not to work any detail associated with the Miami Dolphins unless ordered to do so. Again, I would also respectfully ask the Broward Sheriff’s Office to refuse any security details associated with the Miami Dolphins until such time the Miami Dolphin organization mandates a code of conduct for their players during all sanctioned events.


    Jeff Bell


    President


    Local 6020"

    Good, not for the reasons he wrote. Why are they escorting anyone with the Dolphins anywhere?

    Dolphins can hire their own security firm to protect them. No need to waste police resources on shit like this. In fact, we should have all sporting events taken care of by security firms instead. Save our tax dollars for real police work.
