Consequences

Discipline your kid, get reported to the cops.

Tasha Henderson got tired of her 14-year-old daughter's poor grades, her chronic lateness to class and her talking back to her teachers, so she decided to teach the girl a lesson.

She made Coretha stand at a busy Oklahoma City intersection Nov. 4 with a cardboard sign that read: "I don't do my homework and I act up in school, so my parents are preparing me for my future. Will work for food."

"This may not work. I'm not a professional," said Henderson, a 34- year-old mother of three. "But I felt I owed it to my child to at least try."

One of the main pillars of the liberal agenda is to avoid consequences for bad behavior. Birth control, abortion, denial of God -- all examples of liberals' fear of consequences. Rather than raise their moral standards, they prefer to lower the moral standards of the nation. I'm still mulling this over in my mind. Possibly more later.

Humiliation is a great teacher, don't you think? I bet she will try a little harder in the future.

Does this mean we can now call the cops on parents of 14 year old girls who are:

1) walking around with a big pregnant belly
2) doing drugs
3) drinking alcohol
4) shoplifting
5) etc.
6) etc.

No, those are the parents you would NOT report because they have obviously done nothing to discipline their kids. There was some "expert" on Laura Ingraham this morning who argued that parents should host drinking parties for their kids so the kids would not get into a fatal car accident. That's the stupidity that permeats the left. Instead of preventing bad behavior, make bad behavior safer. I did not have my first drink until I was 23. I was in the Air Force, in Germany, and got curious about German beer. To this day,I'm just a curiosity drinker. I will try something just to try it and I've never been drunk. That's my parents' teaching.

I heard of this story this morning, LR.

The report that I heard said that the girl's grades have dramatically improved.

Sounds to me like it worked...

Too bad the PC police will soon come and take the mother away for "Re-education", and put the daughter into therapy to "Un-do the damage" that she has done.

Who is trying to push God out of society? Who is fighting against prayer in school, the very MENTION of Jesus, or CHRISTmas? Who is enforcing the bogus separation of church and state -- Democrats or Republicans? Sure, as individuals, there are millions of Democrats who go to church, worship God, etc. But as an entity, the left in this country wants to destroy Christianity. That charge is being led by people who do NOT believe in God and who DESPISE Christians. And the church-going Democrats are not speaking out, just as average Muslims are not speaking out about terrorism. I don't know why any self-respecting person would want to be in the same "big tent" with those far left wackos.

Purge Society of all mention of God in the name of Tollerance.

Tax the Creators of Jobs and punish success in the name of Economic Prosperity.

Allow Torture and Tyranny all over the World in the name of Peace.

Tell bold-faced lies in the name of Truth.

This is the thinking of the Left.

Why we have allowed these people to gain so much power in America is completly beyond me.

Liberals have entrenched themselves in the media and in academia. They have our kids from preschool through graduate school. That's more than enough time to brainwash them.
