Neal Boortz gives his annual school supplies lecture. As always, he drives the point home pretty hard.
The students are instructed to bring all of their precious school supplies - their property -- to the front of the classroom and put them into a huge box. These supplies no longer belong to them.I've heard him make this point a dozen times. This year he left out the part where parents who are in the know deliberately buy the cheapest school supplies they can. After all, why buy premium when you know that the government teachers are just going to take them away. That's socialism for you.They are now community property ... they belong to all of the class. The teacher, representing the government, will from that point on assume the responsibility of distributing the supplies to the students as they are needed.
"Whoaa! Hold on a minute here! These are MY supplies. My daddy bought them for me. You can't have them! They're mine!"
Not any more kid. Those pencils and erasers were yours. They have now been seized by the government to be used and distributed for the common good.

What the hell are you doing R? Trying to give ma an annuerism? If any school does any such thing in my state they'll be some protesting to organize.
Knowing how the public School System is currently running I'd bet this scenario does get repeated several times over in August. Fucking socialist!

Posted by: Francis W. Porretto at August 9, 2004 1:25 PMI remember this crap when I was in grade school in the early 70's. It was the same thing. Your parents would buy you decent school supplies and the teacher would collect and redistribute them and you would end up with crap. It pissed my parents off and it inculcated in me a hatred of Socialism that lasts to this day.
Posted by: Yosemite Sam at August 9, 2004 3:55 PMThis does not happen in our local or near by school districts.
But, if it did, and my kids were there they would not be the next day.
Perhaps Neal should move to somewhere in the rest of the US.
