"How can I drop the suspension if you don't single out who was the ring leader of this

disruption," was what one school official told Joshua Rodriguez, a senior who is facing expulsion along with his brother David, a freshman.

Danny Rodriguez, the boys' father did not receive an answer when he asked if this confession could be used against his son, so he did not allow his son to sign it. David and Joshua Rodriguez have been suspended for 10 days and were served with expulsion papers.

Other parents report the same senario in their suspension appeals meeting with school authorities.

Also today, all Morton West households received a letter from school principal, John Lucas. The letter states that "On Thursday there was a minor protest at Morton West that involved about thirty-five (35) students. This disturbance was non-violent and was a protest against the War in Iraq."

The letter goes on to thank teachers, staff and administrators "for maintaining order" and thanks "the majority of students for not joining in the school disruption and for realizing that their education is more important than disrupting school."

The letter still maintains that there are only 25 students were the core of the demontrators and states, that these students refused to leave the cafeteria when told and "as a result of this gross disobedience and disruption of the school day, many of these students have been suspended for a number of school days and many of these have been referred for disciplinary action that will include explusion from school."

Parents of the demonstrators are wondering why, if it was just a minor protest and that "Throughout the day classes were held, lunches were served, and order was maintained," why are the students being expelled?

What about privacy rights for the "ring leader"?

George Washington university had a problem with someone painting swastikas and set up a hidden camera. They caught a jewish girl painting a swastika on her own door and the police are refusing to id the culprit because of "privacy rights".

google

gwu+swastika+arrest

.....is the name of the woman who painted swastikas on her own dorm door.....and as the perpetrator of a fake 'hate crime' she has no rights of privacy....which is why her name is being posted here

This is so very typical of Totalitarian, fascist agencies. They assume that there must be some "leader" that orders people to fight for their rights since they (Totalitarian fascists) always believe that people don't naturally want to be free.

The FBI fascists are always playing pretend that there are "ringleaders" and "top leaders" in the animal liberation movements around the world, trying to pretend that the ELF and ALF actually exist, have leaders.

Typical.

Yes it is very typical for someone out of touch with reality to believe that these sheep did this thing on the spur of the moment. Of course there was a ring leader, and I imagine it was the son or daughter of the parent who first posted it on indymedia. WCW trying to impose their stupidity on sheeplike students who don't have the capability to think for themselves, let alone stage a spontaneous "anti war protest". Scratch the ringleader and a commie or socialist "progressive" will be revealed.

Is meatloaf finished with the numbing jargon of the pro-war rantnicks and knuckledragers?

Talk about open ended moronity.

You go and fight/die for your queen. Or whatever... buy-buy...

Don't let the door bump your but on the way out.

The FBI did indeed try to kill Judi with a nail bomb they then tried to pin on her. As an 'Ecoterrorists'. Rush Limbaugh had a wonderful time with that until a lawsuit granted 1.8 million to Judi's estate from the FBI.

They be bastards.

And should be dissolved and prosecuted for a full spectrum of criminal actions including the WTC 1993 bombing.
