| I'm going to be so disillusioned if it turns out the kid wasn't silently praying. That's so disrespectful to all of the prayerful Christians out there. |
Possible if it happened OCONUS--but, only because it would have likely involved foreign nationals which is a whole other issue. That said, after having worked in schools OCoNUS for a number of years, I NEVER heard of this happening. And, believe me, had it happened, I would have heard about it. There are no secrets on a military post--worse than a small town. And, certainly, DH would have heard about it, had I not. And, FWIW, he was a commander on many levels. I guess it could have happened if the school was Conus, but highly unlikely in my experience. There are relatively few high schools on military posts CONUS, in any case. The only time we got commanders involved in the schools was when parents did not show for conferences. And, this would be after several attempts. Also, the occasional child who had need of services we could not provide overseas. |

Can someone tell me which prayer this is?

Perhaps our bases were stricter than yours. Evidently our teachers were stricter than covington catholic ones, but I think most teachers are. These kids should not have been behaving that way. They should not have been engaging with crazy ranting preachers, they should not have been yelling things like "Rape is only bad if you don't enjoy it" or whatever that kid said. They should not have been catcalling women and calling them sluts, either. I hope other schools and parents of teenagers take note that your kid should not be spouting vile things, acting aggressive and get recorded acting like an aggressive jerk if you don't want it to haunt them forever. |
We had a few kids over the years who were sent back to the US for extremely bad behavior - yes, involving the host country nationals. It is just imaginable that a teacher would let kids behave like that in public. I can't imagine my kids' teachers letting my kids interact with aggressive crazy people and then behave like a mob at a national monument. They were very aggressive and should not have engaged with the black hebrew israelites AT ALL. The kids were acting like jerks but the chaperones should have put a stop to it IMMEDIATELY. If you are going to take kids out who don't know how to behave in environment where marches and protests are happening, then at least supervise them! |
What did those boys actually say to "scold" him? I'm curious because I can't hear them chastise him. |
+1 There is a huge debate in DOD schools presently about sexual assault and bullying among students. There’s no good system of reporting and dealing with such incidents because a company or bn commander has no legal authority to do anything about a dependent. The very most that can happen is a base or post commander bans the dependent from on base activities or stores. Most base command won’t kick a family off base. My neighbor at Bragg had kids doing drugs in the wooded area behind family housing. I called the MPs and took them Down in the woods and they retrieved the bongs and did a report. I identified the kids. Nothing happened. No command was called. A 1sgt kid took a firearm to a CONUS school and he was arrested. His father was then arrested for incest and rape of his daughter, the sister. The kids were then placed in foster care and the father found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in Leavenworth. The dad wasn’t even held pre-trial and lived in housing with his wife. So again, peddle your hysteria elsewhere. |

I don't know that the kid who made the comment about rape is a covington student, but I hope that whatever school he goes to in the cincinnati area sees the video and speaks with him and his parents.
A kid who thinks it is okay to shout things like that HAS NO BUSINESS being at a right to life march. NONE AT ALL. |
The kid was obnoxious--but I would like to have heard the whole interaction. It looks like the video skips ahead. But, he is not the kid in question, and that is what the accusations have been about. I would hate to be responsible for what everyone in my class does. |
The parents would have to have volunteered to send them back. All commanders can do is ban a dependent from base facilities and base proper. Dependents can’t be forced to leave a country and definitely not by command and definitely not for what the boys did in DC. |

So, does anyone have evidence that Phillips is a Vietnam veteran as he claims? I did see the clip where he says, he is a Vietnam times veteran--sounds like he may have pulled a Blumenthal.
So, if he has let that lie stand.......... |
DOD regulations apply to all DOD schools and bases. Base commanders can enact specific regulations but nobody is calling a co because of an issue like this. |
That is awful. I am not peddling hysteria, I am genuinely shocked that things have gone so far downhill. When I was in high school (overseas), kids who committed crimes or were accused of crimes (and most likely had done them, ha) were sent back to the US to live with relatives. PERIOD. There was no staying. This was in the 80s -90s and some base commanders were stricter than others, for sure. The kids were on flights out very quickly. I remember when I came back to the US to take driver's ed while on home leave one summer, I was shocked by how disrespectful the UMC kids were to the drivers ed instructor. I had never seen kids be that disrespectful to a teacher before, like ever. It was disturbing. |
You talking to ME? (I'm the check....check.....check poster.) What makes you even think I'm a Christian? (I gather that's what the Crown of Thorns reference was about because Jesus.) It doesn't take a Christian to see that liberals are OK with bigotry and condemnation against them. - a Jew |

[quote=Anonymous]Stop trying to make the kid the victim. He isn't.
My father and uncles were in vietnam, both my grandfathers were in WWII, my great grandfather was in WWI. I still expect my kid to behave in public and not be an asshole to an elderly person who is in the middle of his own march in public. Call me crazy for having high standards for my child. The rush to villianize Phillips just makes the kids look worse and worse. Accept responsibility for acting like an aggressive mob of ill behaved kids. Blame it on the teachers and chaperones for not requiring you to behave yourself. [/quote] Investigation of whether a man or woman is a combat vet as they claim is not making them a villain. If Phillips is what he claims he will get more support and respect from the Vet community. If you wear ribbons badges etc and didn’t earn them you can lose your career. If you claim false benefits from The VA you can be prosecuted. If you claim to be a certain vet and aren’t that’s your fault for lying because you will be found out. Trump never served but never claimed to serve. Big difference. There is a special shame for those who claim to be vets but aren’t and they earn that shame with their lies. Phillips will be either a bigger hero for his Service or a scumbag liar from his own records and words. |
