Looking for Respect in All the Wrong Places
Saturday, May 08, 2010
By John W. Lillpop
When 60 irate students walked out of classes in Morgan Hill on Thursday, they claimed that they did so to demand “respect.”
Marching behind two large Mexican flags, the students claimed they were sending an urgent message: Mexicans are proud of their heritage and wearing red, white and blue on Cinco de Mayo is disrespectful.
Is it humanly possible to be more illogical and contradictory?
Mind you, these students are from the demographic with the highest school drop out rate. I.E., those who can least afford to miss school, especially for a really foolish march!
Those really looking for “respect” need to study the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the rule of law, and accept the United States as their “home” of allegiance.
Only then will these students earn the respect they claim to so desperately want.
John W. Lillpop is a recovering liberal, “clean and sober” since 1992 when last he voted
for a Democrat. Pray for John: He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area,
where people like Nancy Pelosi are actually considered
normal!
