Everyone I know feels this way - too bad so many parents don't!
CHILDREN IN RESTAURANTS
I would like to see a list of restaurants in the Atlanta area that discourage children by not providing booster seats or high chairs. I would defer to those restaurants when I want a quite evening without having to listen to the screaming children of bad parents.
No ... I don't "hate children." I just don't parents who can't control their spawn.

Nice tidbits!
NOW .. GO EXPAND YOUR MINDS ..
This morning we got started on this little gem of a story out of Atlanta about the sex scandal at a mega church.
A substitute teacher undresses in front of a class of 4th graders ... code red ... school lockdown.
Students at a government school are not only suspended but sent to drug counseling for making an anti-drug PSA.

More indoctrination out there on the West Coast!
GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS' INDOCTRINATOR
In California, a summit has been called to "close the achievement gap" in government schools. California government school warden Jack O'Connell thinks that minority students are performing poorly because of teachers' "widespread cultural ignorance." In other words, the white teachers can't relate to the black and Latino students.
Now enters a man by the name of Glenn Singleton, who runs the Pacific Education Group in San Francisco. He is a consultant for government schools. They take thousands of dollars of taxpayer funds and give those dollars to this man in return for his words of "wisdom." He is the ultimate propagator of "diversity training." He is being hired to teach the Education Department's racial sensitivity classes.
Let's get a little taste of Mr. Singleton's ideology. Well first of all, he says government schools, not parents, play the biggest role in influencing a child. Well, that would go along with what Marx thought. Why do you think he insisted on the government being in charge of childhood education?
Singleton also says says, "If we were to say that black or brown kids don't perform as well because of their parents, we're saying black and brown parents aren't as effective as white parents," Singleton told The Chronicle. "That's pretty much a racist statement." That, of course, is a crock. Culturalist, maybe .. but not racist. Give me parents from a culture of achievement any day over parents who are embedded in the culture of victimization and failure. In Singleton's mind it is racist to place any responsibility on the parents of these children. Instead, we must blame the white teachers for not being able to connect to minority children. Ok, I hope you stomached that statement because it is about to get worse.
In 2002, Singleton got his hands on Seattle government schools. They hired him to indoctrinate students and staff about racism. So what did he do? He immediately attacked individualism and brands any form of individualism as a form of "cultural racism." He goes on to say that "only whites can be racist." There you go ... another warrior in the left's war on individualism.
Singleton also says that planning ahead is a white characteristic and it is racist to assume that minorities will do the same. This reminds me of the professor from a predominately black college in Atlanta who, many years ago, said that the use of logic in an argument was racist. There seems to be no end to this nonsense.
Back to the California schools, Singleton preaches the ubiquity of white privilege and race. He previously made this statement on the topic that California is currently facing: "White teachers (and minority teachers co-opted into the white power structure) stymie black and Hispanic students because they fail to understand their cultures and how daily racial oppression affects their outlook. They also push a curriculum tooled for whites, and are ignorant of the special ways that blacks and Hispanics communicate."
Excuses, excuses, excuses. Not one word from Singleton on the culture of failure that permeates the urban school experience. You know, the "learning is a white thing" bit.
Still happy with your kids in government schools?

There are those that will refuse to believe the numbers, but here's a good one!
Are the rich really getting richer? Is everyone else just stagnating? Thomas Sowell looks at figures from the IRS .. and finds that it just ain't so!

Glad to see some people have the balls to do what is right for all patrons!
We all have a new hero to look up to today. This restaurant manager kicked a mother and her screaming child out of a restaurant. Too bad it happened in Louisville. I would be eating there tonight! The mother, of course, is trying to make an issue out of the incident .. getting her 15 minutes of fat face on TV time.

Funny one!
Apparently the hottest new ringtone is the king of Spain telling Hugo Chavez, "Why don't you shut up?"

Wow, it sure has!! Wonder how my friend in Ft. Myers likes her bible, the NYT, now?
