Why are Federal funds in the stimulus package dedicated for public school systems?

18 Jul

The Federal Government is not supposed to get involved with education, it never has been. I thought Obama was a Constitutional Law professor, he should know that.
Where is the Costitutional authority for the Federal Government to get involved with public school systems?

Hey, if I get some Obama buttons or something, can I distribute them at my (public) high school?

06 Jul

Just wondering, because I was thinking about getting one of those support packs from the Obama website, because everybody seems to love stickers, and it might get students to talk to their parents about the election. Am I allowed to do this inside or outside of the school, and would I have to offer something that has to do with McCain as well?

Please let me know if you can show me a website or something that says whether I can or not. I need real answers, not just something with a lack of grammar, punctuation, and capitalization.

Thanks!
To electronherdsman: Well, all I really wanted to do was buy those stickers online and give them to people at school. I figured that it might spark some conversation. Because of how many students act, I can see how you might think that I am doing this just because it is cool, but that’s completely not the case. I’ve been doing a lot of research in my spare time, and I really think that Obama is the better choice, assuming that our votes actually have value (even if they don’t, at least you’re covered if you vote, right?)

Right now, I’m a senior (one who will not be old enough to vote by just a few months). That’s why I want support Obama and maybe get some votes in his favor. My generation is going to have to pay for Bush’s policies, as in giving away our liberties to secure temporary “safety” as well as paying this huge deficit.

I know that the majority of students at my High School support Obama, 87% in a school-wide poll.

Thanks for answering my question, in any case!

Do you think it was right for the school to suspend a 5th grade student for wearing an Anti-Obama tee shirt?

05 Jun

It was supposed to be a day for kids to express their political views. The child was attacked on the playground for wearing the homemade shirt, and called a racist! It said “no to terrorists” and “No Obama”.
Isn’t this a violation of his rights?
I stand corrected. The shirt said “Obama = a terrorists best friend”.
My question remains. I think this is an outrage, and it only shows that the teachers are afraid of actually teaching. What lesson does this give our children about their Constitutional Rights? Only some people have them?

Is Obama plan to have your kids labor in school victory gardens to offset cafeteria costs a good idea?

17 May

President Obama, talking to the AMA, has suggested that kids in American schools could work in their schools’ victory gardens, to offset cafeteria budgets – and emulate his wife and the children who maintain the White House victory garden.

What kind of fruits or vegetables would you like your children to grow?

Can kids handle crops like cotton?

Why are Republicans spreading anti-healthcare Propaganda to middle school children now?

16 Apr

Why are Republicans using propaganda tactics in our middle schools??? Was it not the Republicans that were complaining about Obama when he speaks to our children in school as so sort of ‘brainwashing’? I thought Republicans were opposed to “brainwashing” our children.

Below is a link to a story & video of “special lesson” to Coloma middle school children by Fred Upton (R) of Michigan.

Is this a case of “they were against it before they were for it? (Brainwashing School Children) or just more proof of “Republican Hypocrisy”?

Some racist republicans are telling their kids that Obama will kill white babies when he’s elected, and these kids are going around the school scaring everyone else. What should I say to my kids about these idiots?

My public school system is going to show Obama’s healthcare speech tomorrow?

02 Apr

K-12 will most likely be seeing Obama’s healthcare speech in my school system.

Shouldn’t there be more outrage over this than there is over the Texas speech because this will obviously be a bit more biased and in favor of universal healthcare?

What’s your opinion on this?

 

How can I watch the Obama Inauguration while in school?

La Porte High School Students receive national award signed by President Barack Obama

05 Jan

 
LA PORTE, IN – It’s not every day that students from rural Indiana receive an award signed by the president of the United States but Juniors: Ben Barber, Rachel Cable, Julia Garay, Victor Vargas and Sophomores: Martin Garcia, Vanessa Martinez, Brandi Morrow and Alan Spradlin all received President’s Volunteer Service Awards, signed by President Barack Obama. The awards, issued through The LEAGUE and presented by Vicki Perkins, Indiana State Director of The LEAGUE are the results of service hours the students performed to benefit the people in LaPorte, Indiana. The LEAGUE is a school and web-based system for service learning that builds character and empowers young people to “do good” in their community, the nation and the world, will be
 
This year the LPHS juniors received Gold Awards which account for over 250+ hours of volunteer time. The sophomores garnered Silver awards for 175-249 hours of service. Both groups helped the community through activities such as helping the La Porte Parks Department clean area parks. The students also painted park benches and cleaned the lakes of debris.  These industrious teens also helped organized three blood drives; collected over 400 pairs of sandals/flip flops for children in the Middle East; and during the Holidays raised funds to adopt under privileged families. Those funds enabled them to purchase gifts and food. Those are just a few of the volunteer efforts these amazing students undertook this past year.
 
But this is not the first award signed by a U S president these students have received. At a LEAGUE event hosted by Queen Latifah and presented by Stephen Baldwin in New York City last year, Victor Vargas and Morgan Noble, on behalf of their class received awards signed by President George W. Bush. While the award was fulfilling, having their picture taken with Queen Latifah was thrilling.
 
At another LEAGUE event in New York, Barber, Cable, Garay, and Vargas were honored for being National High School Team Champions. MTV News Correspondent, SuChin Pak, presented the LPHS students their award for being National High School Team Champion.
 
In January of 2009 Hough, Spradlin, Vargas and their classmates: Joe Bierl, Kayla Fardulis, Julie Herbst, Kadie Hooley, Elisha Krauth, Abbey Light, Vanessa Martinez, Breland McMmillan, Kharson Nurnberg, Jessica Roberts and Shayna Shelton participated in Hey U G L Y’S  global initiative to end racism called, the Hue-Man Being Art Project. Their artwork, selected by art experts, won the honor of being exhibited at the Lubeznik Center for the Arts in Michigan City, Indiana and the Krasl Art Center in St. Joseph Michigan. The exhibit, which is featured in the paperback – Hue-Man Kind A Book To End Racism, – will be on display at the Indiana State Capital building next spring. A New York film crew from Nickelodeon came to LPSH and filmed some of these young artists for a segment that aired on Nick News w/Linda Ellerbee during Black History Month earlier this year.
 
During the Hue-Man Being Art Project, Courtney Hough asked Hey U G L Y to add the words RACISM and HATE to their Acronym Contest which is annually judged by journalists from media like People Magazine and ABC TV. Serendipitously, Hough won first place in this year’s contest garnering a $500 U S Savings Bond for her conversion of RACISM to Remove All Color, I’m Simply Me. The Savings Bond was presented to Hough by Hey U G L Y president and co-founder, Betty Hoeffner from Rolling Prairie, Indiana. Hey U G L Y is a nonprofit organization that helps teens and pre-teens counter bullying, eating disorders, violences, substance abuse and suicide.
 
So what’s in the water at LPHS that’s got these students achieving so much? To ask the kids, Hey U G L Y and the LEAGUE it’s Mrs. Ingrid Voelker. Mrs., Voelker is Title 1 Transitional Coach at LPHS and facilitates G.B.O.T. (Get Back On Track), a program to assist seniors earn deficient credits in order to graduate on time.
 
“Mrs. Voelker makes school a fun place to be,” said Alex Allgower, a sophomore at LPHS.
 
“She helps us understand the importance of working hard, giving back and enjoying life,” explained Vargas.
 
The LEAGUE saluted Mrs. Voelker last year in New York as her team had an economic value returned to the La Porte community of over $99,468!  Not bad for rural Indiana.
