Dalai Lama in Seattle proved liberalism is a mental disorder

Reported in the Seattle Post Intelligencer, a newspaper in Seattle, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, about the Dalai Lama's recent visit to Seattle. The Seattle school children, over 14,000 attended the event in the Key Arena. What is telling about this is for this religious leader the public schools forgot about their hallowed "separation of church and state." Would these public schools have allowed the same students time off from school to visit with the Pope? This is further proof of the mental disorder that is liberalism. Liberals are unable to be consistent as their reasoning is totally based on emotion and hypocrisy. Remember: liberalism is a mental disorder.

I think anything you are thankful for is great," said parent D.D. Boutwell.<br /><br />The letter also asks teachers to understand that Thanksgiving is a "time of mourning" for many Indian people and a "reminder of 500 years of betrayal."<br /><br />Some parents say it's political correctness gone too far.<br /><br />"I think it gets to be silly," said parent Deb Bush.<br /><br />School officials are quick to say that this letter does not signify a first shot fired in a War on Thanksgiving, and they say teachers are not being told to do anything different in the classroom.<br /><br />"We just want a more inclusive history taught in our schools. Not a feel good to a feel bad history but a more representative history of who our population is," said Bill.<br /><br />Local Native American leaders add that not everyone in their community sees Thanksgiving negatively, but there is still plenty of hurt that can only be healed by a deeper understanding of our history.<br /><br />"We need to free ourselves so that we can manifest that true love and kindness and compassion that's necessary to heal the wounds," said said Phil Lane, Jr., United Indians of All Tribes Foundation.<br /><br />About 1,200 Native American students from 100 tribes are enrolled in Seattle schools. <br /><br />http://www.king5.com/education/stories/NW_111407WAB_no_happy_thanksgiving_TP.3449914.htmlTitle:Public Schools against the WAR Description:This is from an anti-war protest held in a church where public school children were led in song by their public school teacher...
