    When it is THE HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADERS IN THEIR UNIFORMS AT A SCHOOL FUNCTION THEY REPRESENT THE SCHOOL. I don't know what is so difficult here.

    I'll stand corrected which government schools gave excused absences for it?

    Global warming is not, and should not be, a political issue. The only reason it has become political is due to the fossil fuel industry spending hundreds of millions of their annual billions in profits to keep the science in question. Scientists overwhelmingly disagree, but big oil has managed to sway a lot of public opinion in this country, all on the right wing.

    There is no Planet B. This is our habitat, and we should have listened to the scientists thirty years ago when they first tried to tell us about the effects of air polution. The earth will survive whatever we do to it, but our species may not. I don't consider species survival to be a political point, and it saddens me that so many righties do.

    I have shown multiple times in here that is not true. Schools routinely turn a blind eye or even officially sanction liberal protest.

    For as long as I can remember, whenever I heard conflicting facts on an issue, I would research it as best I could. In all those decades, "the left" had it right about 70% to 75% of the time. Sometimes I couldn't find a clear answer at all, but with the World Wide Web it has become much easier to find bona fide, verifiable information. With this tool, I've been finding the liberal views both clearer and more complex, but correct more like 85% on most issues.

    I know a lot of liberals, and none of them support any call for violence of any kind based on ideology alone. And don't come back with "but, antifa!" Those people are part of the problem and I don't know a single soul who supports them. They are a tiny fringe group, period.

    How many mass shooters have been liberals? One or two, maybe. A few have been apolitical with no clear ideology. How many have been right wing nut jobs? Dozens. Ask yourself why that is. Try not to be hateful and angry with so many of your fellow Americans just because they disagree with your political views.

    And once again I have shown already it is a political issue with anti trump signs being waved at the march that liberal schools let kids walk out of class to attend.

    Well it is what it is a political issue and scientist differ and the political and economic ramifications are HUGE. Forty years ago they were predicting we would all be in an ice age which would have wiped out half the planet. How'd that work out? The historical data hasn't changed.

    I completely disagree with the concept.. the school is there to serve the kids NOT the other way around. The school should represent the kids!! If the kids want a banner that supports this person or that the school should get on board with that...

    If half the cheer leaders support trump and half support say Elizabeth warren. They should have two banners..

    Did this school let kids walk out of class for all the recent liberal protest? I'm guessing yes just like every other school. My point here is the selective enforcement of this regulation that is anti conservative

    I can see schools not letting political banners fly indiscriminately but showing support for a duly elected sitting president seems perfectly acceptable as an American. What's next, ban the pledge of allegiance or the anthem because it might offend leftist?

    So the school should support Trump and put Trump banners everywhere? It's a GOVERNMENT SCHOOL, it should favor no particular candidate or issue. The cheerleaders represent the SCHOOL not THEMSELVES.

    LOL
    No the school represents the kids NOT the other way around.

    Of the people by the people for the people.
    Government organizations have no rights whatsoever. They are slaves of the American people and it's time they start acting like it.. we are not their subjects!!!!!

    Yes the schools should support Trump as president. He is their boss. And we are his boss.

    There is plenty of proof. The problem is that his supporters either won't look it up, or refuse to believe it unless it comes from one of their right wing echo chamber sources.

    I'm fairly certain that I'm wasting my time, but . . .

    This report predates the 2016 election:

    https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/9/28/12904136/donald-trump-corrupt

    It keeps getting worse:

    http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/09/trump-corruption-sharpiegate-hotel-biden.html

    There's more, but if you look only at his business history, there was plenty before his famous escalator ride:

    https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/08/21/trumps-business-of-corruption

    "Trump-branded buildings in Toronto and the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan were developed in association with people who have connections to the Kremlin. Other real-estate partners of the Trump Organization—in Brazil, India, Indonesia, and elsewhere—are now caught up in corruption probes, and, collectively, they suggest that the company had a pattern of working with partners who exploited their proximity to political power."

    This was the worst "deal," overseen by Ivanka (corruption tends to run in families):

    https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/13/donald-trumps-worst-deal

    "The Azerbaijanis behind the project were close relatives of Ziya Mammadov, the Transportation Minister and one of the country’s wealthiest and most powerful oligarchs. According to the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index, Azerbaijan is among the most corrupt nations in the world. Its President, Ilham Aliyev, the son of the former President Heydar Aliyev, recently appointed his wife to be Vice-President. Ziya Mammadov became the Transportation Minister in 2002, around the time that the regime began receiving enormous profits from government-owned oil reserves in the Caspian Sea. At the time of the hotel deal, Mammadov, a career government official, had a salary of about twelve thousand dollars, but he was a billionaire."

    Neither Obama nor Clinton ever even dreamed of so much corruption, Rooster. Trump supporters have been had. Sorry.

    No, I didn't burn the flag. The only burning in which I participated involved my least favorite bra. Yeah, I was there and did that.

    What kind of world do we live in where it's inappropriate to support the president?

    A couple years back they tried to get on people for waving the American flag.

    As long as it favors your views, it doesn't matter. Typical.

    And are we to assume government schools don't support an elected president?

    Excused absences happen all the time, for all reasons.

    It was organised mass walkouts for liberal political reasons. It was sanctioned while support for a sitting Republican president met with repercussion.
