Boortz has posted an update on the saga of the Marine and the Prinicipal. The bad news – Ulrica Corbett is still influencing Georgia children. The go [...]

Seems. Your assumption isn’t necessarily the truth and I see little to support such an assumption. Do you know something the rest of us do not? Have you done some kind of Vulcan mind-meld with her and now know her motives?

“Are you a public school administrator by any chance?”

No. But then, the issue isn’t me, right?

“I can’t figure out why you are such a strong defender of someone who thinks that a U.S. Marine represents a threat to the safety and welfare of U.S. schoolchildren. Reaching such a conclusion is indicative of poor ability to reason on the part of Ulrica Corbett.”

Wow… we’ve gone from her not approving a request to assuming she now considering Richardson a “threat.” You must teach me this Vulcan trick of yours. I would very much like to peer into the heads of others and divine their innermost thoughts. That’s remarkable!

“By the way, you win the $2 fancy word contest for using discursive in a sentence.”

“Discursive” is a fancy word? (Shrug.)

BTW, that’s suspiciously close to an ad hominem comment. Am I to be insulted for using “fancy” words? Does that make me a pointy-headed liberal elitist or something? Let’s keep the topic at hand in mind and steer clear of personal comments. Can we do that?

“So far, that I am aware of, her only statement has been that she was doing it for the “safety of the children,” which is an incredible pile of steaming bullshit.”

Sigh… you don’t understand what she means by that because (as you have admitted) you don’t volunteer your time in public schools. You’re assuming she’s stupid and doesn’t understand what a Marine is. The reality is that she (along with the rest of our pathetically under-funded public schools) is under a lot of pressure to keep track of who comes and goes and to make sure someone *is* who they claim they are–and that takes time to do, time that they simply don’t have to spare.

What’s to stop a terrorist from dressing up and claiming to be an active duty Marine who wants to speak to the kids in some class? As a school admin, I assume you would throw caution and policy to the wind and bow down before the uniform and let such a person have free reign of the school, right?

Probably. Do me a favor. If you ever get into school administration, let me know. I want to keep my kids as far away from your school as humanly possible.
