Not So Funny, But TRUE None-The-Less

i called crack monkey this morning about this up-in-arms shit about the president addressing the school students next week. i said i was going to call my daughter's school district directly and instead of saying i don't want my child to see it, i DO want her to have the option of seeing it....

crack monkey: did you give administration hell?
butterfly: yes - on hold for 30 minutes
butterfly: finally got through. asked what the reasoning behind them not showing the presidential address was "too many parents complained"
butterfly: me - "what were they compliaining about exactly"
butterfly: admin : "we just had too many phone calls from parents and decided we will not be showing it. it will be video taped and available in video though"
butterfly: REALLY?!?!?!??!?!?!??!!
butterfly: so i have a phone call into ladybug's principal right now
crack monkey: you know...this could have been the coolest thing in these kids' lives.
butterfly: i am so tired of ignorance
butterfly: truly
crack monkey: the thing they look back on that motivated them to stay in school, go to college and get a good job
butterfly: so what i might just do it pull ladybug out of school while its on, get her to a computer for her to watch and take her back to school
butterfly: and if they count her absent during that time, so be it
butterfly: i will cause hell on top of that if they do
crack monkey: i still remember getting to talk via video to the people while they were discovering the titanic wreck
crack monkey: it was awesome
crack monkey: this would have trumped that
crack monkey: i hate people
butterfly: lol
butterfly: me too
crack monkey: ignorant, knee jerk reactionists that don't know progess even when it's biting them in the butt
crack monkey: "intellectualism" has become "elitist"
butterfly: amen sister
crack monkey: stupid, stupid people
