| #7 “We absolutely refuse to stand up and pledge allegiance to another country’s flag,” she said... I donno about that. I would stand up for a pledge to another country's flag. In that country. |

| #6 I would never kill anyone over such simplistic stupidity. Instead, I would revoke any employment agreement he may have, and ship his hairy little a$$ to Paraguay as an involuntary Peace Corps teacher. I'd make him teach first grade - in pig-latin - for $1 a day. Maybe he'd get the message, but it's highly doubtful. |

| #5 Proof positive that we, in the USA, are an overly tolerant people is the fact that the principal, Sam Williams, of Velasco Elementary School, Houston, Texas, is even alive to give an interview. |

| #4 "beacon of hope"? If that school were a beacon of hope, it would be teaching how wonderful the US is, how lucky the kids are to be here instead of someplace else (like Mexico) and asking the question regularly, "Why did your parents come here?" The principle was upset the parent went public instead of coming to him with her concerns so he could tell her to get stuffed and that she was a racist. |

| #3 “We have stated in our mission statement that we are a campus that is a beacon of hope for a culturally diverse population,” Williams said. OK, I can see your problem. How 'bout cutting out all the multiculturalist PC bullsh*t, and changing the mission statement to read "A school where children are taught." 'Beacon of Hope?' Sheesh! It's a grade school. Get over yourself. |

| #2 He needs to be acquainted with the fact that people tend to behave differently during war time. He's lucky to be alive, let alone employed. |

| #1 Obviously the principal is a beneficiary of affirmative action and ethnic quotas, because he sure doesn't have the brains to be in the position by way of merit. |
