Good evening. This is Dr. Wesley Smith, Superintendent of the Morgan Hill Unified School District. The Morgan Hill Unified School District does not prohibit nor do we discourage wearing patriotic clothing. The incident on May 5 at Live Oak High School is extremely unfortunate. While campus safety is our primary concern and administrators made decisions yesterday in an attempt to ensure campus safety, students should not, and will not, be disciplined for wearing patriotic clothing. This situation and our response are under review. We know that this is an emotionally charged topic. We would ask you to encourage your students to be safe and focus on their academics while in school. If conversations and/or activities are necessary to express their feelings on this issue, we will find appropriate venues that do not disturb student learning or jeopardize the safety of our students. Furthermore, we encourage everyone to demonstrate respect for each other, open communication, and responsibility. Thank you for your support and understanding. Dr. Wesley Smith SuperintendentWell done, and bravo, Dr. Smith! It is reassuring to know that the entire educational system of Morgan Hill is not stuck in the quagmire of anti-American radicalism and racism! One point, however: Have you ordered “sensitivity” training for the morons who perpetrated this national embarrassment? That would make sense for both the administrators AND the 200 students who need to understand that the US Constitution and Bill of Rights are ALWAYS in full force and effect—even on foreign holidays like Cinco de Mayo! By the way, with all of the confusion and turmoil, we have yet to hear from our dithering president, The One, who ushered in the era of “post partisan” politics. What say ye, Mr. President? Why has this civil rights outrage not caused you to dispatch your civil rights swat team, Erick Holder and Janet Napolitano, to the scene?
