Stand and Deliver: Presidential Scholars Blast Bush

6/26/07, 12:57 pm EST

We should all be as fearless with our moments of opportunity as the 50 high schoolers named as Presidential Scholars were with theirs yesterday.

On the very day the Supreme Court moved to eviscerate student first amendment rights, these kids handed an open letter to the president at the White House ceremony in their honor. It went like this:

“We do not want America to represent torture. We urge you to do all in your power to stop violations of the human rights of detainees, to cease illegal renditions, and to apply the Geneva Convention to all detainees, including those designated enemy combatants.”

Talk about stand and deliver. That’s chutzpa!

…apparently you’re arguing for better funding for public schools. Otherwise dog, can I get some more of that Vicodin?

Hey doc, by that logic maybe we should require our doctors be home schooled?

Are grandma’s family remedies still valid? don’t violate your Hippocratic oath now…

Wow aren’t we proud of the sheeple the teacher’s unions are turning out? No wonder they get their collective asses kicked every year in the spelling bee by homeschoolers…

Just brace for the attacks on public schooling because of this (regardless of how many scholars were public school grads). In this administration, knowledge is dangerous. Such a patriotic position. (If you’re a con, that last sentence is meant to be read as sarcasm).

Keep conning yourselves. Hitler (or at least a monkey) would be proud.

The students should give civic lessons to the “adult” world…
Seems these fifty scholars have more knowledge of the Constitution and understand How Our Government Should Work far better than the current “President” and his administrattion…

You go guys!
