Quoting Stalin, Hitler and ISIS leader in Yearbook

LOL, we have morons running our schools........ Got to love that Stalin Quote.......





Pennsylvania HS offers refund over Hitler, ISIS leader and Stalin quotes in yearbook

Published May 26, 2016
· FoxNews.com

Families at one Pennsylvania high school are being offered a yearbook refund after three quotes used in the book were attributed to the head of ISIS, Hitler and Stalin.

Quaker Valley School District officials told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that, “Though the content of the quotes was reviewed thoroughly, the attributions clearly were not.”

The school district apologized to parents and called it a “regrettable mistake.” There were a total of 360 yearbooks distributed, and cost between $69 to $100.

Some of the quotes, at first glance, seem to be your run-of-the mill lines that grace the pages of a yearbook next to the photographs of students.

“Be just: the unjust never prosper. Be valiant. Keep your word, even to your enemies.” Another reads, “Words build bridges into unexplored regions.”

The quotes seem benign, but they were clearly attributed to Abu Bakr Al-baghdadi, the head of terror group ISIS, and Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler, respectively. Another quote -- which appeared to be slightly more questionable -- was attributed to the late Soviet leader Joseph Stalin: “Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, so why would we let them have ideas?”
It was not clear if the students or yearbook sponsor will face any punishment, the report said.

That sounds familiar: "Ideologies are not defeated with guns, they're defeated by better ideas." - - Barack Hussein Obama.

I've never met a dead ideologist who continued to espouse his ideology and hatred for the living. So guns and bullets are certainly effective in that respect.

Apparently BHO thinks so too or he wouldn't be spending a million dollars (+/-) per ideologist to put a HellFire up their ass.

Who would be responsible for the cost...the student editors?

Just send those yearbooks to Portland they'll know what to do with them.

Put them in the library!

There are a lot of people that still don't realize that there are three classes of people as to how they need to be dealt with.

1. Those that you simply can talk to and they understand what you are saying.
2. Those that you have to raise your voice at in order to make them actually hear and understand what it is you are trying to convey to them.
3. Those that you simply have to take behind the woodshed and have some personal interaction with.

Sometimes...ideas simply don't work!

Sometimes you need to:

1. Listen to what they have to say.
2. STFU and mind your own business
