Elementary School Celebrates Communism
By Wyatt Earp | June 26, 2009
And you’ll never guess where the school is located. Okay, I’ll give you one guess:
Give up? Show me Berkeley, California!
The little hippie bastards also celebrate marijuana. You know, because what fifth grader doesn’t enjoy smoking the reefer before arts and crafts? This kind of nonsense is exactly why I shell out a lot of money to send my children to Catholic school. After reading this story, it’s worth every penny.
Symbols of communism and marijuana and a prediction that “capitalism will fail” aren’t exactly the sort of end-of-year messages you’d expect from an eighth grader.
“Capitalism will fail.” I wonder how many of these little toads will work for free when they graduate from UC Berkeley? My guess is none. Their parents sure don’t work for free – tuition to this so-celled school is $17,.000 a year – so someone here is a big frakkin’ hypocrite.
But that’s precisely what some students at the Black Pine Circle School, a private school in Berkeley, Calif., chose to include in their “Class of 2007″ mosaic.
The symbols, which are prominently displayed outside the school, have prompted questions about the appropriateness of images like a hammer and sickle and a marijuana leaf on school grounds — and have led critics to say they are blatant proof of political indoctrination of young children.
People realize that this is an elementary school, right? I swear, I cannot wait for the last of the original hippies to die off. The world will be a much better place.
Black Pine Circle bills itself as a day school where students from kindergarten through eighth grade will be “maximally free of all the ‘isms’ which pervade most aspects of the world around them: from racism to sexism to the less obvious forms of discrimination,” according to its Web site.
That’s funny, because it seems like Black Pine Circle is knee-deep in douchebag-ism.
Laura Wolff, assistant director and head of BPCS’s Lower School, told FOXNews.com that each graduating student makes a tile to commemorate his or her time there, sometimes teaming up with other students to make a “dual tile.” She said school officials do not edit or otherwise influence the end products.
“Being Berkeley, of course, we don’t censor their creative expression,” Wolff said. “It’s fun to see what they come up with.” (H/T – FOXNews)
Laura Wolff should be punched square in the nuts. And yes, I believe she has them. No eighth grader “commemorates their time” spent in grade school with a marijuana leaf, symbols of the Soviet Union – which folded before most of them were born – and anti-capitalism slogans. These kids were brainwashed, because the Flower Power idiots desperately want a new crop of suckers.
God help us all.

“capitalism will fail” heh.. last time I checked the score it was the commie system everytime it was tried.

Smite – If they were really so self-righteous, the school would charge no tuition, and the teachers would not accept a salary.

Sigh.

Did Cap and Trade pass? If it did, then there right: Capitalism is Dead.

Whoops. Should be “they’re right” not “there right.” Sorry.

Raptor, it’s probably going to tonight… dammit… and yes then we’re dead!

Yeah, it’s sad isn’t it Wyatt? I just threw one of my daughter’s friends out of my house last month because he told me he believes in Communism and started ranting and raving about it in my house.
I calmly told him that I don’t abide by such talk in my house and that he was welcome to stay if he would change the subject. He decided to try and do a one man crusade to convert me to Communism.
I picked him up by the seat of his pants and the back of his shirt collar and literally tossed him out the front door. I told him if he wasn’t off my property in 60 seconds I would call some of my LEO buddies to explain things to him.
My house. My rules. I don’t care who doesn’t like it.
It took 10 minutes of scrubbing to get the patchoulli smell off my hands.
Little Commie rat bastard.

The private schools are more liberal than the public schools (excluding Christian and Catholic schools, of course).
Can you imagine trying to have an intelligent conversation with the mind-frakk’d little ones? Geesh.

As someone already said, They were right. We could not keep the Republic Mr. Franklin gave us. Now, as I said elsewhere, we have to do 1776 v2.0.

Even from this side of the pond I got the answer correct! Yopu only have to look at trhe etymology:
You prononunce it to rhyme with “work” (unlike us who rhyme it with “bark”).
Except when we use the term “berk” to mean a fool, an idiot, or worse. (Derived in the 1930s from the Cockney rhyming slang – “Berkeley Hunt” which I leave up to you to work out.)
So, either way, they are either barking mad or worse …
As I said – easy! What’s my prize?

“This kind of nonsense is exactly why I shell out a lot of money to send my children to Catholic school.”
Ditto. Money well spent, as far as I’m concerned.

Ohhhh I wait for the day when some little rebels put their tiles together to spell out Berkeley Sucks. I wonder how they’ll feel about censoring then. lol

Walking to the market today, I saw a car with plates that read, “UC BKLY”. I wished I had a baseball bat with me so that I could take out their windshield, because I reasoned that even if I got caught, the owner of the car couldn’t censor my “creative expression” right?

Wyatt,
Sir;
It won’t change anything when the old hippies finally die off. They create new recruits in much the same way as vampires and werewolves, except that they are warded off by strong soap, not garlic or silver.
