Remember the ending of Red Dawn? The good guys fighting the Soviets are killed, but eventually the US military takes back control?

I have an alternate ending. We give them Washington state instead. They won’t even need any troops to pacify them, they’ll gladly surrender and turn in any resistance themselves. At least in the Seattle area. Why the animosity? This:

Three invited pro-military speakers were shocked last Friday when they arrived for a West Seattle High student assembly to confront a theater stage strewn with figures costumed as Iraqi men, women and children splashed with blood. "I was told there would be three on each side. No debates. No rebuttal," she said in the e-mail she fired off to members of the Seattle School Board. "At no time was I referred to a teacher nor did a teacher contact me. As I walked into the theater there was a young girl wearing a mask and crawling on the floor. And, over the loud speaker (someone) was denouncing our military, saying ‘Americans are killing my family!’ " Not a good thing for "impressionable students who may have family serving Iraq," Gulit told student organizers. "Two of our speakers had returned from Iraq and Afghanistan." With her speakers in tow, Gulit saw the bloodied figures on the floor. Stage right were students in orange Abu Ghraib-style prison jumpsuits, hoods over heads, pounding on plates with spoons. Next, a student dressed as a grieving Iraqi woman knelt near a bloody body while, over a microphone, a narrator wailed the story of civilians shot, kicked and beaten by American soldiers.

So far, at least none of the staff of the school admits to being aware of the content of the skit. But for some reason I sincerely doubt it.

Worst still, this was reported in the "Lifestyle" section of the paper. Personally, I think it should have been reported as hard news. Because it is, since the students are obviously being taught that antics like this makes for reasonable debate.

The obvious antidote to this kind of crap? No, no, lobotomies for lefties has already been tried, it just made things worse…  We just need to start having student exchange programs.  Not with England and France, but with North Korea, Iran, half the countries in Africa that are in complete chaos, and other hell holes throughout the world.  Time for a real education for these kids.

Thanks to Michele Malkin for the heads up…
