If this had been a conservative event. You know, a pro-life demonstration, a support the troops rally, or a campaign event for a proposition to ban gay marriage.

But it wasn't. It was a rally against the president, against the war, and against the troops, sponsored by a bunch of Communists.

World Can't Wait -- an anti-Bush, anti-war group, recently staged nationwide protests. The organization coordinated rallies in Chicago, Seattle, New York, San Francisco -- and Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Unified School District took things a step further. The district helpfully agreed to provide buses -- that's right, buses -- as well as "adult supervision" to the nearly 800 high school students who walked out of 10 high schools. District officials said they thought it best to provide adults and transportation, since, you know, the kids intended to go to the rally, anyway. "Our issue . . . was safety," said the district's chief operating officer, "and I think we fulfilled our mission, frankly."

But this must have been OK – there were no conservatives in sight, the event supported anti-American values, and its not like LAUSD students learn anything during the school day anyway – after all, roughly 70% of students fall below the national average on standardized tests.
