    An atheist was seated next to a dusty old cowboy on an airplane and he turned to him and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”
    The old cowboy, who had just started to read his book, replied to the total stranger, “What would you want to talk about?”
    “Oh, I don’t know,” said the atheist. “How about why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?” as he smiled smugly.
    “Okay,” he said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”
    The atheist, visibly surprised by the old cowboy's intelligence, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”
    To which the cowboy replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss God, Heaven and Hell, or life after death, when you don’t know crap?”...........

    Because some people have bought into the racism narrative we focus on that and not the corruption and tyrannical tendencies of the power hungry politicians and bureaucrats.  As long as they can keep us divided then these people maintain their power laughing at how stupid we are for not seeing the obvious destruction of our way of life.

    It’s hard to comment without being speculative. The lady who brought it to the school stated "We're no longer going to be quiet and let this go on.”… Let what go on?
    Was the student being knowingly  disrespectful  by dressing up as Tyler Perry’s Madea? I'm at a loss.

    Technically the school could be within their authority but it is a very narrow exception. The Supreme Court has ruled that’s such speech how to create a “substantial disruption” in classes.
    Way back in the mid-1960s, the Supreme Court ruled in Tinker v. Des Moines School District in a 7-2 decision that wearing black arm bands in class in protest of the Vietnam war was protected speech Under the First Amendment.
    Interestingly a similar case came up in front of the Supreme Court as this Buna case just four months ago. If I remember the case, a cheerleader was on their JV squad and tried out for the varsity squad. She did not make the squad  and she made an off campus and off school time post (I will clean up the language) something like… screw school, screw cheerleading, screw everything.
    In response the school district kicked her off at the JV squad. She sued school district and in their defense they stated that she called a substantial disruption in classes. As evidence they brought testimony that a couple of classes discussed her for a few minutes. The Supreme Court in and 8-1 decision stated that discussing the cheerleader for a few minutes and in some classes does not constitute a substantial disruption of the school. Like in most cases they don’t define what that is.  Would that require riots at the school? Many students walking out of class in protest? I don’t know because issues such as this are on a case by case basis. The Supreme Court gives guidance for the lower courts to follow. Sometimes they give very distinct answers, which are called Bright Line Rules, which must be followed but those are extremely rare. This is not one of those cases.
    So for Buna ISD to be able to take any kind of action at all, they need to be able to document a “substantial disruption” in school and having some students or parents not liking it does not even come close to feeling that description, in my opinion.
    The very essence of the first amendment is making comments that people don’t like. Otherwise it would not be needed.

    So if this pic took place off campus at a private party and was not a school sanctioned, sponsored party, then why is the school involved or even brought into this?
    So private parties are now the business of the school?
    This is so lame.

    The fact that we're still having this conversation when "White Chicks" can be purchased, rented, or streamed is a bad joke. 
    The idea that "I can do it, but you can't" in regards to costumes, words, etc, is possibly the dumbest thought pattern that has been in place since actual racism was an issue.

    Getting licks worked.....
    My son was acting up trying to be a comedian in I think 4th grade.  We had a teacher/principle conference including my Son.  They wanted to put three post it notes on his desk daily and every time he disrupted the class they would remove one note. When he ran out of notes he would be sent to principle. The punishment there would be running on a treadmill.  I listened to this discipline plan with a grin. When they asked me my opinion, I told them I disagreed.  He will have one post it note, not three.  This would give him one warning then a trip to the office. In the office he would receive three licks, not run on a treadmill.....he was an athlete, that was exercise not punishment. My Son looked at me in disbelief when I said licks....lol   The principle agreed, I signed a form, and he NEVER made it to the principle.......but my guess is he lost that one post it note daily......lol

    From what I'm told by some coaching friends, Woodville is athletically deeper.  But.. I heard that Anahuac had the ability to beat EC as well.  It didn't matter.  If the game comes down to tradition over unorganized (which often happens), then EC gets the nod from me.  But that's why they play.
    I wouldn't feel comfortable placing a bet on either to win. That's me.

    I was just thinking... Let's consider that there may be a kid that plays hockey in Canada...and his name is Brandon. His Dad, a Canadian government worker, yell's to his son as he skates out on the ice, "Let's Go Brandon!"
    Well, you know the rest of the story.

    Sugarbear got a reaction from RETIREDFAN1 in What the heck Warren: Jacks out   
    Wouldn't that be nice but that isn't the world we live in anymore.  Coaches are getting harder and harder to get these days because they no longer have the autonomy they once had because of these "snow plow parents" who are way worse than the "helicopter parents."  I don't know if this is a fact but I feel that this is true that coaches and teachers are retiring 2 times faster than the colleges are graduating future teachers.  And these "new" teachers/coaches usually don't make a career out of teaching/coaching or even 5 years as a teacher/coach after they see the reality of teaching/coaching these days.
