Cloverdale Schools considers 4-H graduation cords

In a society that found justification for more than 2 genders, is the right to wear a cord during a once-in-a-lifetime small town graduation ceremony that represents the accomplishments someone made during times spent learning about world-changing domains of knowledge that everyone on Earth ultimately benefits from while simultaneously acting as an example for others through incentivizing academic virtue and hard work...

...asking for too much?

The 9 millimeter mindsets running the education systems today are no match for the .357 Magnum world they expect their pupils to defend themselves against.

Give them the cord, slap a nuanced name to it, and move on to the bigger fish you people should've been frying yesteryear.

Too much caffeine for DQ.

All of society does not recognize more than 2 genders. Only the liberal uneducated believes this lie. There are only male and female--period.

By the way, small towns in America is what helped to make America strong. One should not denigrate this concept.

Instead of downgrading modern education why don't you jump into the fray and try helping and not criticize.

The modern education system failed you in more ways than one (reading comprehension, critical thinking, and general applied logic being but a few attributes worth mulling) but the subject you're puckering some lip over is the exact point I was addressing.

Let's not kid ourselves, Eric: You know nothing about me, never have, and never will. This fact includes knowing anything about my professional credentials, so for all you know, I could be ANYONE (up to and including being an education system deity)...and had you any inkling of awareness concerning said environment, its current socioeconomic climate, and the public pressures responsible for dictating administrative initiatives set forth using political artifacts like Title IV, Affirmative Action, established LGBTQ policies, various special interests, current pedagogy and the curriculum being pushed toward today's enrollments, you'd know and understand the progressive measures used to enforce observance of items you clearly have an axe for. Your dichotomous models are dead, whether you (or I) like it or not. But hey, I'm not saying everyone should drink the Kool-Aid. Just understand that if you pass on the glass, be prepared to either be asked to attend a "cultural awareness workshop" or accept severance.

But all that aside, you don't get to command people on here anymore than I do and you really need to get over having been made a monkey of. :.)

WOW!!! You really get worked up very easily. Interesting.

No, I do not need a "cultural awareness workshop". I am very aware of the debased, and demented, culture of today. I also know you are not a "deity" although you are probably legend in your own mind.

Or perhaps, you are a liberal who believes they know better for everyone else how you perceive things should be.

I do read your comments here and sometimes you are spot on but, not in this case. You lambasted high school students about an award. Why should that bother you???

Liberals are ruining America. We need good old fashioned precepts that built this country.

If you are a "professional" you would not get so worked up over my comments--after all I have the right to express them. You are right I do not know anything about you but, I have met a lot of people like you in my life and none of them have impressed me. And neither do you DQ.

Not worked up, not a liberal, not lambasting kids, not devaluing America's grassroots... I am, however, getting bored with your turd logic and inability to diversify your mental processes.

I'll *let* you have the last word. :.)

Word. . .

Beata memoria dulcium amicitorum non cito delebitur.

Somebody(s) put the thesaurus to good use. Wait, delete good.

For what it’s worth, I agree with the board’s decision. I am a 10 year 4Her, my kids were, and none of us ever expected any recognition from school.

Most 4H members are members of other organizations. The student in Band or choir can also join the 4H band or choir. The National Art Honor Society kid can show off his skills in a craft, ceramics, painting, photography or other art 4H category. There are so many aspects to 4H that are enhanced because of other avenues students choose. The student is better because of the 4H program and his skills will prove it. But 4H is not a school program and should not be treated as such.
