“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
They trashed the place. Most local parents and most actual students are not in support of the protests that destroy valuable school resources from mainly non-students (anarchists, antifa terrorists, etc...).

Yes, the typical suspects.


My kid is going back to classes today. I hope this crap is done.

I miss the good old days of water cannons, tear gas, and rubber bullets.
Do you actually have any idea what you're talking about? Have you ever seen what a "rubber bullet" does to the human body?

How can you joke about violence and brutality? You should consider living in Israel, you'd fit right in.

Here's something to hopefully educate you, this is real antisemitism, Israel is perhaps the unsafest place in the world today for orthodox, pious Jews.

This is the target of all the campus protesting, the racist and brutal ideology that permeates Israel. Protesting against a state that is founded on racial supremacy and a divine right to already occupied land is a noble thing to do, it is a humanitarian thing to do.

To support Israeli ideology today is to support racism, racial supremacy, incarceration without due process, theft of land, shooting of children, destruction of homes, segregation, violation of UN resolutions by the truckload, denial of rights to non-Jews, denial of citizenship to non-Jews and the list goes on.

That's what Israel is all about, it was always about that, if you care to do even basic history research into the founding of the state in the late 1940s, that is what it actually is and protesting against that is exactly the right thing to do, just as it was right to oppose South African apartheid, just was it was right to oppose the Third Reich (another ideology founded on racial supremacy and divine right to territory) if you oppose the Third Reich's ideology you must oppose Israel, if you support Israel you must support the Third Reich too, there is little difference between the two in terms of ideology.

Here, look for yourself, look at the historic record, the facts, this is not hard to do, but might be uncomfortable for some:

There it is, a living example of Godwin's law.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_Hitlerum
Reductio ad Hitlerum (/ˈhɪtlərəm/; Latin for "reduction to Hitler"), also known as playing the Nazi card,[1][2] is an attempt to invalidate someone else's argument on the basis that the same idea was promoted or practised by Adolf Hitler or the Nazi Party.[3] Arguments can be termed reductio ad Hitlerum if they are fallacious (e.g., arguing that because Hitler abstained from eating meat or was against smoking, anyone else who does so is a Nazi). Contrarily, straightforward arguments critiquing specifically fascist components of Nazism like Führerprinzip are not part of the association fallacy.

Invented by Leo Strauss in 1953, reductio ad Hitlerum takes its name from the term used in logic called reductio ad absurdum ("reduction to the absurd").[4] According to Strauss, reductio ad Hitlerum is a type of ad hominem, ad misericordiam, or a fallacy of irrelevance. The suggested rationale is one of guilt by association. It is a tactic often used to derail arguments because such comparisons tend to distract and anger the opponent.[5]

For those with 'alternative' life styles, Palestine is not a nice place to live.

Back to the "Thought for the Day"...

View attachment 321589
Yes, how cerebral, a lot of thought contained there...

Here's a better thought for the day, the moral necessity of civil disobedience even getting arrested for it, here's some names:

Muhammad Ali
Martin Luther King
Bertrand Russell
Nelson Mandela
Jesus Christ
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Dorothy Day
Malcolm Little

So ponder these people and their bravery before you get on with your busy day and important duties, consider their character next time you're tempted to dismiss anti-Zionist protesters, next time you're tempted to applaud as they get shot with tear gas and rubber bullets.

Grandfather arrested for paying homeless woman $20 to babysit granddaughter, 7, ‘while he got drunk at bar’ (msn.com)
Police said Mr Warren was “highly intoxicated”, and told them he had given a homeless woman $20 to take the child to a thrift store approximately four hours earlier.

The homeless woman, Lauren Jope, 34, told KCRA that Mr Warren had asked her to take the child to the store to buy a pair of shorts, and some things for herself.
Security footage later confirmed that Ms Jope left the area with the child after she came out of the thrift store and noticed the man was drunk. She took the girl to her encampment to get food, a detail that the child later corroborated to police.

“This guy is just totally belligerently drunk and just kind of scary. He turned into a totally different person, and so I got his granddaughter away until things kind of simmered down, because I didn’t know what was really going on,” Ms Jope said.

“I just wanted to make sure she was safe and that she’s okay.”
Judge people by their actions.
