School asks officer not to wear uniform on campus

The PARENTS should talk to their kids about "what police officers do for the community". Have we lost our minds?? People do not think any more....they just "feel"...everything is a knee jerk emotional response and logic is disappearing. The police officer should tell the school to take a flying leap about this "assembly" idea...either that or he should talk at length about the Second Amendment, which is something our wussified schools won't teach students anymore. What country is this anyway???

    You probably are well familiar with the patent 'fail' on the Eskimo nose condom....

    I have never seen this behavior, but it certainly may exist. I call people with dark skin just that b/c skin color is just a trait. I'd rather someone call my wife and me short rather than something like "vertically challenged". We're not "blacks" or "shorts", those are just physical traits we have.

    I do see the problem of so many people acting like they are part of some group that needs some kind of charity: young, in college, just bought a house, expecting a baby, have an infant, have kid in college, old. It seems like no matter your life stage you can work out a way to need a handout. Unlike most people here, I believe in handouts for the needy, but if not enough people feel like they should pull the load and too many people want to be pulled, society falls apart.

    Fortunately, I have not known anyone personally who was genuinely bothered by my language or who obviously wanted to manipulate me with language.. The problem does not exist for me. If I ever have a hard time with such a person I'll be singing a different tune.

    how is it intentional on your part? this is a small minority group, backed by larger groups, who attempt to cow you. what the hell are we supposed to call black people?! goodle and be amazed. You will never call their "group" "culture" the appropriate word. Meanwhile they call themselves whatever and you are NOT part of their club. tale as old as time. High school 101. are the popular people the smart ones? Is tennis scoring logical? secret handshakes and intimidation. you and your wife move right along appeasing. the day will come, your good intentions? someone will ram down your throat. or more likely, one of your children's throats. spend time being vigilant nice instead of vigilant logical. I know. I did this in my own extended family for years before I got wise. I hate fighting. but I find myself in a war.

    I definitely use only the world Indian-style around them. Their current school is excellent. They are hard-working, kind-hearted, and understand they need to earn the $2,200/mo we pay them, and they so far always exceed expectations.

    If some Native American or First Nation's person were bothered by it, I'd stop immediately around them. I'm not the type to poke someone in a sensitive place for no reason. Moreover, I like people to think of me and my wife as "makes electronics" and "solves legal problems easily", not this bull$hit political stuff. It's not that I need/care about their approval. I just like electronics projects, and the way to get them is to focus on being a problem-solver, not intentionally politically offensive. .

    I would agree if he wanted to change their first name. I am more offended by Washington than I am Redskins. (I am told that I am part Indian so I can say that)
