Bill Nevins is gonna be rich!

OK. I read a lot of blogs and many talk about how fucking idiotic it is to have the view that not supporting the president is unpatriotic. Some people even say that not supporting our president is not supporting our troops. These people are obviously THE most stupid people on Earth. Hard to argue right? Well, here is one that will make your head snap off. (via bitter-girl) Bill Nevins of Rio Rancho High School in New Mexico was fired while he was the teacher of a poetry class and faculty advisor for the Slam Team, a group of kids that were learning poetry and performing it in front of audiences. One girl's poem was too much for the principle to take. Was it obscene? Well, that depends on what your views on criticizing Bush are. The principal Gary Tripp (related to Linda, no doubt) and his school's "Military Liason" WTF? didn't like her poem because it "criticized the war in Iraq and the Bush administration's failure to give substance to its 'No child left behind' education policy." I don't want to quote the whole thing here. YOU MUST READ IT FOR YOURSELF TO BELIEVE IT! I can't wait to see this fucker and his cronies loose this one in court. How stupid can people get?

UPDATE It seems that the original link to the story is now dead because the schools lawyers seem to have threatened the paper that printed it. I've changed it just so you can get the story from my perspective. Just in case, here are some more:
Alliance for Academic Freedom
Here is a link to a letter from the school and the girl who wrote the poem.
Something is fishy here and I'm not sure who's up to what. It seems that the teacher involved was indeed fired, but they claim it has nothing to do with the girl or her poem, but they won't tell why. They won't even tell the girl. She believes the school. hmmm.
