The latest (CNN) story about shushing teachers comes from Maine:

\"Maine teachers warned: Watch anti-war talk in classroom\"

\"Maine's top education official (has) warned teachers to be careful of what they say in class about a possible invasion of Iraq.\"

Memo's such as the one sent to Maine school districts have a chilling effect on teachers. I don't see a problem with presenting both sides of this important question, but what we are seeing appears to be a pre-emptive effort to prevent any mention of war whatsoever. Silence about war makes war more likely.

I'm sending emails to complain that teachers are being silenced. I hope that you will too. We must stop this pro-war drumbeat before it sweeps every school district in the country.

The above official's email address is:

But until recently I've never been able to get him to mount\r\nmy mouth. It finally worked.\r\n\r\nWe usually start out playing around on the floor with each other. I'll get\r\nhim a bit excited, then reach under him and rub his sheath. As soon as my\r\nhand makes contact he stops and stands perfectly still. He knows what is\r\ncoming.\r\n\r\nI'll stroke his cock a few minutes till it starts peeking out. Then I'll\r\nusually play around with him some more. Then back to stroking his cock\r\nagain. This time is pops right out of his sheath, red and shiny. If time\r\nis short, I'll have him mount me then. If we have time to play, I'll suck\r\nhis cock for a while first. He gets very nervous when I get under him.\r\nSomething to do with the master\/dog roles, I assume. If I want his cock to\r\nstay hard I have to lay him on his back and then I can suck him for a long\r\ntime.\r\n\r\nYesterday I tried something different. I got him hard and on his back.\r\nThen sucked him for a few minutes. Then let him get back up. At this point\r\nhe is ready to mount. Instead of letting him mount, I reached under him and\r\nstroked his cock. Grabbing his sheath around his swelling knot, I rubbed it\r\nfirmly and vigorously for a minute or so. Needless to say he began humping.\r\n As soon as he was humping, I grabbed his front paws and put them on the\r\ncouch, while continuing the cock stroking.\r\n\r\nNow he is raised up and humping. I quickly layed down and sucked his cock\r\ninto my mouth. With one hand still stroking his knot, I reached around with\r\nthe other and hugged him to my face.\r\n\r\nHe continued humping, fucking my mouth!! Finally, I had figured out how to\r\nget him to do this. Once he was humping furiously I stopped stroking his\r\nknot and just held him to me. He fucked my mouth for about five minutes\r\nbefore his knot came out of the sheath. By this time his cock is quite\r\nlarge, a mouthful to say the least. I am having to steadily swallow his\r\nsmall squirts of precum, yummy!\r\n\r\nHe is close now, he is fucking his knot against my lips forcefully. I had\r\nthought about this, but was'nt sure I could take it in too. But I had tried\r\nfor so long to get him to facefuck me that I was gonna try. I opened my\r\nmouth wide and pushed my face into his underbelly. Oh yeah! His knot got\r\nbehind my teeth and his cockhead was past my gagreflex. I tried to keep my\r\nlips covering my teeth as best as I could. I don't want to hurt my buddy.\r\nNow he is humping against my face, I can feel his cock throbbing in my\r\nthroat. It seems that his cock can still stroke in and out a bit, because I\r\nhave his knot filling my mouth but everytime he humps forward I feel his\r\ncock go a bit deeper in me. Then back out on his backstroke. I can't tell,\r\nand really don't care at this point, if his cock strokes seperate from the\r\nknot or if his knot is pushing into my mouth. I just know that I love\r\nhaving Comet fucking my mouth.\r\n\r\nWhen he is fucking my ass, I can relax and let his knot slip in and out of\r\nme sometimes. But I quickly realize that I won't be able to do this with my\r\nmouth. He is just too big, my teeth would tear his knot up. So I just keep\r\nmy mouth closed on his knot and enjoy the ride!!\r\n\r\nAnd what a ride it is, too!! My eyes are tearing up, my nose is running and\r\nmy throat and mouth are full of dog cock. Hard, thick driving dogcock. So\r\ngood. Then Comet stopped humping and I felt his cum shooting down my throat.\r\n I would have liked to pull back and get a mouthful, but I did'nt want to\r\nlet his knot go. I just stayed with my face in his underbelly and enjoyed\r\nthe feeling of his throbbing cock filling me with his watery cum.\r\n\r\nI began rubbing his ears and neck. I usually tell him he is a good boy and\r\nstuff after he fucks me, but with a mouthful of cock I could'nt say\r\nanything, so I just petted him. Damn his knot is big, I was thinking as I\r\nlay there with it in my mouth. I had seen it and it has been in my ass more\r\ntimes than I can count, but it sure seems bigger in my mouth!\r\n\r\nWhen his knot began to shrink a bit, after maybe 4 or 5 minutes, I opened\r\nwide and let him pop it out. I held on to him so he could not pull his cock\r\nout. I sucked him for a minute or two, then let him pull out of me. He\r\nlicked at my face a bit then lay down to clean his cock. I pushed him onto\r\nhis back and got him in my ass before his cock could slip back in its\r\nsheath. It only took a few strokes on my cock before I was shooting cum all\r\nover his belly with his cock in my ass.\r\n\r\nI love my Comet!\r\n","author":"Diogenes","parent_id":32099,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-03-04 06:00:41","modified":"2003-03-04 06:00:41","fileurl":""},{"id":32969,"heading":"I have a reason","article":"Teachers are probably being told to shut up because of the complaints they have recieved over children of sevice personal feeling victomized by attacks on their parents in class rooms.
