Black History Month is now solely dedicated to our new President who isn't even black.

I just sat in an assembly for an hour, listening to a guy talk about how great Obama was. He started off the speech saying that this was more about diversity, not just blacks. Then sits there and talks about how great the innaguration was, how great this country will be now, bashes on Bush for a minute or two, and how we are such a close nation now, because we elected a black man as President.

So about 30 minutes into it a group of about 5 kids just get up and leave. I'm sitting right next to a door, a teacher stops them. And asks them what they are doing. One of the guys tells her that they are going back to class(mind you there are about 800 kids in this gymnasium). She tells them they can't leave and to return to their seats. So the kid got pretty vocal about it and said he didn't want to listen to liberal biased bullshit. So at this point about half the gym is looking at them and not the speaker, although he continues talking.

So within minutes of them arguing, the principals coming in to try and settle things down, about 50 more kids have got up and are asking to leave. I'M STILL SITTING IN MY SEAT. So then the cop who roams the school comes in. More kids are continuing to leave their seats, and try and leave, and eventually they let them. So while they are letting them all leave I just hopped up and left with them lol.

Do you think the teachers had any right to stop the students from leaving? I don't...

Cliffs: Black history month assembly, guy praises Obama, kids want to leave, teachers won't let them for 15 minutes or so then give in. Causes a scene

You should try to question the speaker if it's at all possible. But if you want to leave, I don't see what's stopping you.

So you're in high school?

You are in school, you do what you are told, not what you want. They should be suspended for insolence.

If a guy wanted to actually talk about black history and the things that blacks have done in and for our nation, thats fine. Thats what this month is about (even though a race having their own month is stupid).

But if he wanted to push his stupid liberal garbage on me, I would leave as well. When I started reading what he was talking about I was thinking "fawk that I would just leave".

I would have just said I was going to the bathroom and left.

I see people wearing Obama tall tees and hats that say "Obama 44th President" on it all the time. Makes me sick at the stomach because all of them are on welfare and always say that the time period we're in is just so wonderful. I do what you did the other day and tell them "No, its not. We just nearly doubled the amount of debt we're in, and there's not a for sure answer of knowing if it will work or not." Yes, I think the teachers were wrong for not letting them leave though. Too many people praise this guy, and for the majority, the black population is treating him as the second coming of Jesus Christ. It's disgusting.

:fyi:I work in a grocery store in a very poor area of my town with more than half of our customers living off of TANF or EBT benefits.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I think you should ask them when they are going to have a speaker for white history month...

 

[lew-e 10+ year member]

i would have been up there waiting to leave too. You should not be subjected to listening to someones biased opinions. and what does it matter if he is in school? your supposed to receive a diverse education, not one man's opinion...

If I wanted to leave bad enough, a teacher would not stop me.
