I got this in an email. Then went to Snopes to check it out. It wasn't given by
a California principal as a speech to his kids, but it *should* be given in
every school in the country.

A CALIFORNIA PRINCIPAL' S OPENING MESSAGE TO STUDENTS

A principal at a high school in California, on the first day of classes in 2010:

To the students and faculty of our high school:

I am your new principal, and honored to be so. There is no greater calling than
to teach young people.

I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. I
am making these changes because I am convinced that most of the ideas that have
dominated public education in America have worked against you, against your
teachers, and against our country.

First; this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not care
less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow, or white. I could not
care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian, or European, or if
your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships.

The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your
individual identity -- your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the
only national identity this school will care about is American. This is an
American public school, and American public schools were created to make better
Americans.

If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial, or religious identity through school,
you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity-, race- and
non-American-nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of
America, one of its three central values -- E Pluribus Unum -- "from many, one."
And this school will be guided by America's values.

That includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide
students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion,
sexual orientation, or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by
political correctness.

Your clubs will be based on interests and passions -- not blood, ethnic, racial
or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate narcissism -- an
unhealthy preoccupation with the self -- while the purpose of education is to
get you to think beyond yourself. So we will have clubs that transport you to
the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already
speak, carpentry, and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can
imagine being interested in are those based on ethnic or racial or sexual
identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you.

Second; I am not interested in whether English is your native language. My only
interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing
English as fluently as possible. The English language has united America's
citizens for more than 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is
one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to
be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent English-language
skills, I will have been remiss in my duty to ensure that you are prepared to
compete successfully in the American job market. We will learn other languages
here -- it is deplorable that most Americans only speak English. But if you
want classes taught in your native language rather than in English, this is not
your school.

Third; because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school
will reflect learning's elevated status. This means, among other things, that
you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress
more formally for a meal at a nice restaurant than they do for church or school.
These people have their priorities backwards. Therefore, there will be a formal
dress code at this school.

Fourth; no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school's property
-- whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic events. If you can't speak
without using the "F-word," you can't speak. By obscene language I mean the
words banned by the Federal Communications Commission plus epithets such as the
"N-word," even when used by one black student to address another, or "bitch,"
even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time
you leave this school, you will be among the few of your age to distinguish
instinctively between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene.

Fifth; we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school self-esteem will be
attained in only one way -- the way people attained it until the state of
California decided otherwise a generation ago -- by earning it. One immediate
consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight.

Sixth; and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away from
politics and propaganda. No more time will be devoted to scaring you about
smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global
warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom-wearing and teaching you
to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue. There will be
no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not
white, or not male, or not heterosexual, or not Christian. We will have failed
if any one of you graduates from this school and does not consider him or
herself inordinately lucky -- to be alive and to be an American.

Now, please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of our
country. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand them out
to you.

I SAY AMEN TO THIS!!!!

I got this in an email.

Obviously fromwww.imaracistasswipe/****tard.com

Herring, the resident racist of rec boats, strikes again.

Still blaming your race for your deficiencies?

Still blaming the USA for your " employment deficiencies?"

Not at all. I made lots of cash I saved while I worked in the USA and
Canada. So much so that when I invested it and no longer need to work.

Liked working, but no longer need to. Blood pressure is down, weight is
down, libido is up. Money to burn...no complaints here. In my
situation, just made sense.

It's doubtful you made any money. It's more likely you were asked to
leave and not too politely.

Funny. I wish I could tell the whole story here, but the details could
come back to haunt me. Suffice to say I made off like a bandit and did
not suffer one bit.

Socialism is a great ideal as long as someone else pays for it. And when
no one is left to pay for it, they all can share nothing.
