  Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mamas, would
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you have allowed your kids to leave school for a
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: political protest? Well, let's ask our American mamas.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Mama, Mama, joining us now our American mama's Terry Needville
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: and Kimberlee Burlison.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: There have been reports all over the country of schools
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: encouraging students to leave schools. This is especially during January,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: especially during the ice riots that were going on. But
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: they were encouraging students to leave class, to leave school,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: to go participate in these political rallies, these sometimes violent
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: protests against police officers and against immigration enforcement. And there
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: are parents who signed off on it. There's some parents
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: who didn't know better at all, but there were some
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: parents who signed off on it. Is this something that
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you would have wanted your kids to have participated in,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: is to leave school for a political rally of any kind?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: I thought this was kind of interesting when I saw it.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I thought, Oh, this is a teacher. This is a
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: teacher's agenda right here, you know, pushing it on the kids.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: We happen to have a bunch of kids, high school
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: kids in our house. The other day. There's a bunch
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: of them. They all came in there going to something else,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: and this was going on at the moment. So I
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: asked them, I said, I want to hear y'all's opinion
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: about this, because I don't know, you know, how their
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: parents are or how their homes are, left right whatever.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: All of them said this was an excuse to get
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: out of class. Guarantee you that every one of them said,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: this was absolutely an excuse. Those kids probably have no
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: clue what they're out there protesting, no clue. And then
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: one of the teachers that was with us, she said,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: it's probably an excuse for teachers too, To be honest,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I thought, God, like.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Wait what, but I thought you said that the parents
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: had to sign off on this.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: No, in some of these schools, the parents didn't even
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: know that their kids weren't in class.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: I looked this up.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I wanted to see if this was okay, if this
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: was a normal thing to do. And they talked about
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: a key Supreme Court standard. It said there was a
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: landmark case Tinker versus Des Moines's Independent Community School District.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: They established that students retain free speech rights in a
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: school unless this speech would cause a substantial disruption to
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: school operations. This was substantial.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Well, they would alwast think that if it was.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: On the rights.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: That's what I mean. Can you imagine if the kids
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: were having an uprising and they wanted illegals out of
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: their country and they wanted to go out to the streets,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: not one kid would be allowed to walk out of
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: the school. But not one kid.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: But did y'all see this scenario. There was a group
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: of kids that were leaving the school to go protest,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: and you had the majority of the students on the side.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: They were anti protest. They were like protesting the kids leaving.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: So as these kids and they looked like I am
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: sorry to say this, but it's kind of like Toy
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Story two three where the misfit the misfit toys. It
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: kind of did look like the kids who were just
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: kind of like misfits. They didn't look like they had
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: a ton of self esteem. They were kind of all
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: look like what you think. And the ones that were
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: booing them as they're leaving, you know, they were like, no,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: you know, boo. While they're walking out, you can see
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: them just kind of like like what like they were embarrassed,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: And I thought that's the way. I mean this. If
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: you want to talk about free speech, if you're gonna
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: let this crew walk out, you gotta let this crew
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: come in and say we disagree with you, right, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: and that's how you do it. But what was interesting
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: too was there was a protest. It looked like there
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: was about two dozen kids and they were out on
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: the side of the road and they were yelling at
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: this man and harassing him, and there was a security
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: guard that was standing to the side, and the guy
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: was saying, are you gonna do anything about this? Because
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: they were really were the beating him. Yes, they were
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: like really roughing him up. Are you not going to
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: do anything? It turns out it was the principle. He
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: just put on a security one of those glowing security.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: It was the principle of the school. And he kept
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: as the camera's on him, he was like, hey man,
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: I'm just here to make sure no one gets hurt.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: And I thought, this is what our children are being
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: led by. These are the people who are leading our children.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: There was another video of a high school where some
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: students had gone out to protest and the principal came
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: out and said, okay, you guys, if you go back
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: to class right now. We have no problem. If you
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: do not go back to class right now, you're all
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: suspended your choice. I loved that five four. I mean,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and you saw these kids like, wait, what are we doing? Yeah,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I can't protest outs in front of the school. I
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: thought that was an interesting formal leadership.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: That's a strong leader. It's kind of like an A
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: and M. Remember like last year or the year before,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: there was some sort of I can't remember what happened,
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: so I probably shouldn't brought it up. There was something
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: that happened, and I was so impressed that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: The well, it was all the anti Semitic protests that
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: were going on in campus. This was back in the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: spring of twenty twenty four, all over the country, and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it was happening in Harvard, is happening in you know, Columbia,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: is happening in Tulane. And they tried to do it
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: at Texas. A and M school went Nah.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Not happening, not on my watch. Thank you for thank
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: you for remembering that. And I remember thinking, that's the
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: leader that I want my kid to be under. I
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: want him at the helm when my child's in college.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Because it's hard, it's hard to be in college these
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: days with professors that are so left leaning.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Well, and as a graduate from the University of Texas,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: it's it's very difficult, I tell you, it's very difficult
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to compliment Texas A and m It's so it hurts my feelings,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: but all right, anyway, you have to give credit where credit.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we've got Aggie. We got an Aggie in our family,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: so we have to compliment that. A and m Aggie's fine.
• 5:34
