A cloyIngly politically correct Kennedy Nigh School principal backed by the equally PC Essex Board of Education suspended Natasha Burge for five days for posting her pro-Christmas views on her own time on her own Facebook page. " A Windsor high school student has been suspended after accusing schools of abandoning Christmas and the national anthem and then making disparaging comments about minority students on her Facebook page Natasha Burge, 19, reposted a comment Nov. 3 saying those who feel offended by Christmas celebrations and the singing of the national anthem at school should “please feel free to go back to your own fucking country,' Burge goes on to suggest walking through Kennedy Collegiate dressed up as Santa and 'screaming merry christmas to the arabs, pakis, towel heads and whatever other race that doesn't like it.' Burge said she was called in to meet the vice-principal Wednesday, shown a printout of the original comment and told she was under suspension until Monday. Burge claims she was given no more explanation and, when she returned Thursday to try to discuss the matter, was told to leave or face further discipline. 'It’s ridiculous I get suspended over something I believe in — we should be allowed to say, ‘Merry Christmas,' said Burge, who is enrolled in fifth-year Grade 12 courses.'If you don’t like it, delete it off your wall or unfriend me,' she said of the options available to the Facebook friend who alerted school authorities.|" (Windsor Star, Dec. 9, 2011) The time was that schools governed a student's conduct on school property. Not any more. In selected instances, the school plays politically correct Big Brother in all aspects of the student's life. "Public school board spokesman Scott Scantlebury said any actions by pupils, including 'inappropriate' Facebook posts, that are deemed to negatively affect 'the moral tone of a school' can, under Ontario’s Safe Schools Act, be dealt with by a suspension.When it comes to a school’s code of conduct, Scantlebury said that, “as with the law, ignorance is not an excuse.” "Moral tone of the school?" Really! What would the school do about Tameesha who, say, has just had her third illegitimate child and is collecting welfare and is still in grade 10? Do her parasitic ways enhance the "moral tone" of the school? Would she be suspended or condemned? Of course not. Many teens write of being bored and getting drunk and worse on their Facebook pages. Are they suspended as acting -- here's that empty politically correct word -- "inappropriately"? Of course not! Fortunately letters-to-the editor and Facebook have been on fire with support for Natasha's spirited, if somewhat profane, support for Christmas. What especially galls the politically correct school board is that Natasha reflects the healthy spirit so long suppressed in Majority Canadians. They believe newcomers should get with the agenda. They come from failed cultures. They should not insist on imposing their failed cultures here on us. If they realty don't like it here, by all means, they should go back. We shouldn't have to abandon or suppress our culture to please them. Actually,relatively few newcomers object to Christmas. The real villains are our scalawag traitor politically correct class who cannot get rid of the Majority and our culture fast enough.

SHE WAS SUSPENDED FOR MAKING RACIAL REMARKS ON FACEBOOK. PHOTOGRAPH BY: DAN JANISSE, THE WINDSOR STAR WINDSOR, Ont. -- A Windsor high school student has been suspended after accusing schools of abandoning Christmas and the national anthem and then making disparaging comments about minority students on her Facebook page. Natasha Burge, 19, reposted a comment Nov. 3 saying those who feel offended by Christmas celebrations and the singing of the national anthem at school should “please feel free to go back to your own (expletive) country,” Burge goes on to suggest walking through Kennedy Collegiate dressed up as Santa and “screaming merry christmas to the arabs, pakis, towel heads and whatever other race that doesnt like it.” Burge said she was called in to meet the vice-principal Wednesday, shown a printout of the original comment and told she was under suspension until Monday. Burge claims she was given no more explanation and, when she returned Thursday to try to discuss the matter, was told to leave or face further discipline. “It’s ridiculous I get suspended over something I believe in — we should be allowed to say, ‘Merry Christmas,’” said Burge, who is enrolled in fifth-year Grade 12 courses. “If you don’t like it, delete it off your wall or unfriend me,” she said of the options available to the Facebook friend who alerted school authorities. Those authorities said Thursday they were not permitted to comment publicly in respect to disciplinary action involving specific individuals. Kennedy principal Al Timmins said the issue was being dealt with internally and that suspensions can be meted out “for a variety of reasons.” Public school board spokesman Scott Scantlebury said any actions by pupils, including “inappropriate” Facebook posts, that are deemed to negatively affect “the moral tone of a school” can, under Ontario’s Safe Schools Act, be dealt with by a suspension. When it comes to a school’s code of conduct, Scantlebury said that, “as with the law, ignorance is not an excuse.” Kennedy is “an extremely multicultural” school, with students of 52 national and cultural backgrounds, he said. The publicly funded school board says it must take all represented cultures into consideration, but making a big deal of O Canada and Christmas appears to still be OK. “Given that so many of our students are of Christian faith, we can’t negate the fact (that Christmas) is a major religious occasion,” said Rachel Olivero, diversity officer with the Greater Essex County District School Board. When it comes to free speech, people are entitled to their opinions — until it reaches a point of intolerance, she said. “When somebody says, ‘Go back to your own country’ ... that incites hatred,” said Olivero. Tolerance is the important thing, she said. “In 2011, can we celebrate Christmas in our schools? Absolutely — say Merry Christmas!” she said. “At the same time, don’t be offended if someone comes up to you at another time of year and says, ‘Eid Mubarak’ or ‘Happy Diwali,’” she added. Burge said she doesn’t agree with the suggestion to send people who think differently back to other countries, but she concurs with the sentiment of the original posting that new Canadians should accept that Christmas and the national anthem are important traditions in the local school system. “It’s something I strongly believe in ... people should adapt to the way Canada is,” Burge told The Star. And the student, who plans on moving on to college next, with dreams of one day becoming a firefighter, said her comments were not intended to be hurtful to others. “Everybody knows I’m not racist. I have a lot of friends who are Arabic, Pakistani, blacks,” said Burge. But she agreed others might not see it that way based on her Facebook musings and postings.
