No civil liberty left inviolated...

Kos of dailykos.com fame just posted this email sent from Wisconsin.
A friend with a child in the Richland County,WI high school where George Bush appears today reports the following. Students were told they could not wear any pro-Kerry clothing or buttons or protest in any manner, at the risk of expulsion. After a parent inquired, an alternative activity will be provided, probably a movie being shown in an auditorium.

It's depraved enough to force people who decide to come to your rally from wearing anything anti-Bush, or even something perceived as anti-Bush. People have been arrested for their clothing at these events. But to take over a school for a day and then dictate what the children can and can not do or say or wear or think is the lowest this campaign has sunk to ensure nothing embarrassing ends up on the news. This is what those kids are learning about democracy. When someone has enough power they can tell you what to do, say, or even wear. That's the "education president" for you.

One more week of this shit.
