Re: “Palmer High School to host 'Unity Fest'”
Which translates into embracing gays and lesbians as normative...and shun anyone who doesn't agree.

Re: “Palmer High School to host 'Unity Fest'”
The point of Unity Fest was to bring people together. It isn't a group prayer, and it isn't a gay pride fest. Unity Fest is there to make people more tolerant of each other and to come together as a community at our school.

Re: “Palmer High School to host 'Unity Fest'”
Shane,
That is nice...and used to just happen all the time because we never defined ourselves by these differences in the first place, so we never had our eating habits or sexual preferences up each other's noses.

Re: “Palmer High School to host 'Unity Fest'”
I am one of the main students who set up the event and this entire argument is the complete antithesis of what we were trying to accomplish with Unity Fest. Unity Fest was great this year and last because people from all walks of our Palmer community were involved. As Erica pointed out, there was a myriad of different clubs involved that represented Palmer's full spectrum of individuals. We stood together and had a lot of fun with everyone. Everyone. That's the key word here. All clubs were invited on several different occasions and if they weren't involved, it was because they weren't interested. A large number of Palmer's student body and faculty were mature enough to set our differences aside in order to recognize, promote, and facilitate the concept of unity. Are you?

Re: “How the country sees us”
This is not all about CS surrounding towns/cities must be noted. This is not gangly teenager rather a dysfunctional family. It still has smalltowness yet it is suburban. The family has cheating spouses, troubled kids some slackers. Alternately the family has faithful loving loyal spouses, bright and talented and hard working kids changing the world, and finally a touch of Military splendor vs "this is a one way conversation". U gotta love it all.

Re: “Colorado overturns 'sanctuary city' law”
AS I SEE IT, AMERICANS BETTER TAKE CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHAT IT IS HAPPENING AROUND THEM. AS CONSPIRACY THEORY GOES, I PERSONALLY DON’T HAVE MUCH CREDENCE IN IT. BUT WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN, I AM STARTING TO WONDER MYSELF? Illegal aliens seem to have far more privileges than Americans and legal residence. When is it that a citizen can go to an Emergency room for treatment, but the receptionist doesn’t want your personal information, such as social Security number, drivers license and insurance, whereas a foreigner arrives and unable to comprehend English, has no personal ID, let alone insurance and is still admitted. However the American, low income or not, is hunted down by aggressive debt collectors. Illegal Immigrants just leave without paying a single dime, and we the gullible public pay their debts. What about the pregnant female who has dodged the agents at the border, or walks free of a plane and arrives at the hospital inside our porous fence, and is immediately admitted for delivery. Again no payment necessary. The child gets automatic citizenship and accumulates a whole bunch of entitlement, cash payments, and free government housing vouchers. Once here she intentionally starts a conveyor belt of newborns, each collecting between $400 and $600 dollars, which taxpayers are forced to pay. Illegal parents not satisfied with large sums of money from state treasuries, but without paying any taxes are able to claim proportionately $7 Billion dollars in child tax credits. Now open to discussion is this revelation that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is not only giving away food stamps benefit cards, but even advertising the fact.
HAVE EITHER PARTY NO HEART OR CONSCIOUS BY FORCING AMERICAN TAXPAYERS TO PAY OUT $2.6 TRILLION DOLLARS IN THE FUTURE SUPPORT FOR MILLIONS OF UNEDUCATED ILLEGAL PEOPLE AS ACCORDING TO THE PRIOR CALCULATION OF THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION. IF THAT IS NOT ENOUGH, STATE TAXPAYERS ARE FORCED BY LAW TO PAY OUT CURRENTLY $113 BILLION A YEAR. WHAT FOR YOU SHOULD ASK? FOR CORPORATE WELFARE, BUSINESSES AND AGRICULTURE, SO THEY CAN PAY LESS WAGES, LESS BENEFITS AND EXPLOIT NOT ONLY THE FOREIGNERS BUT THE U.S. CITIZEN. I ONLY KNOW WHAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO ME, RELATING TO THE BOSTON BOMBING, BUT THESE CRUMBS IN WASHINGTON SEEM MORE INTERESTED IN GIVING AWAY AMERICA TO ILLEGAL ALIENS,THAN BUILDING A PROTECTIVE FENCE AND PLACING BUSINESS OWNERS IN PRISON WHO DEFY THE LAW.
American Patrol Report Comment -- April 27
"The revelation that the USDA is actively working with the Mexican government to promote food stamps for illegal aliens should have a direct impact on the fate of the immigration bill now being debated in Congress," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "These disclosures further confirm the fact that the Obama administration cannot be trusted to protect our borders or enforce our immigration laws. And the coordination with a foreign government to attack the policies of an American state is contemptible."
Lou Dobbs is an expert on the illegal immigration issue. Last night on the O'Reilly Factor, he said this:
"Our country right now is being integrated, if you will, with our two partners in the North American Free Trade Association --- and that is Canada and Mexico. And there hasn't been a vote on it, but this isn't an accident that these events are occurring by the president." [Watch]
No accident, indeed. Years ago when he killed California Proposition 187, California Governor Gray Davis said, "In the near future, people will look upon California and Mexico as one magnificent region..."
Without a vote, a powerful block of people has been working behind the scenes to integrate the U.S., Canada and Mexico into the North American Union. They have successfully defeated any attempt to interfere with this objective, including efforts to secure our border with Mexico.
The members of the Gang of Eight belong to that powerful block of people. If successful, they will put the final nail in the coffin of the United States. We will be buried alive.
I am just one voice, but at least I am trying to draw attention to what goes on behind the PEOPLE’S back? The Liberal media are great at propaganda, but terrible about passing on the truth? ALL I know is if this 800 plus pages in this insane draft called the 2013 Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act, the American people will suffer even worse, then the earlier Amnesty of 1986. The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) sold us down the road. It was a complete mockery and we are supposed to believe this new Illegal Immigration reform is any different. READ THE PIECE OF GARBAGE! BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY EXEMPTIONS AND WAIVERS, IT’S UNLIKELY THAT ANY OF THE DEMANDS, LIKE PAYING BACK TAXES, OR LEARNING ENGLISH WILL NEVER HAPPEN? THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BLANKET AMNESTY OF 1986. Last time the reform added 3.5 million illegal aliens, made up of Guest Workers, and just foreigners. Once given legal status millions vanished into the job market. I am afraid without a solid guarantee from politicians, which I certainly don’t trust these times the number of 11 million are going to be released into America. Unemployed Americans will have no choice, but to compete with the true numbers of illegal migrants and immigrants. Employers don’t care as they have a free market for labor, and that’s exactly what happened in the last mass amnesty.

Learn more about this new potential Immigration Reform Bill, in relation to the huge fraudulent 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act at numbersusa.com as well in petitioning your arguments and standing on this new law. INSIST NO PATH TO CITIZENSHIP FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS? REMEMBER THEY SOLE INTO AMERICA WITHOUT PERMISSION; BRING THEIR CONTAGIOUS DISEASES, DRUGS AND CRIMINALS. A free petition is available on NumbersUSA.com and read the huge amounts of daily information disclosed on American Patrol.com/ This is the articles, blogs and media reports that is a must read. Learn so much more about illegal immigration bills at judicialwatch.org/ As I have said many times before, I see no problem for an increase for extra visas for STEM workers, PhD’s and cream of the crop—so to speak, as long as there is a serious effort, to locate the same highly skilled workers already here. But before anything as extra visas, agriculture jobs are available, we must have a tracking system, so they can be detained if they abscond from a farm or other labor that supposedly Americans will not do. However, none of these new complex reforms can happen, until we are assured that a real fence is constructed and the above mentioned policies?
The Border Patrol Union is suing Homeland Security, because they were ordered not to arrest illegal aliens skirting the border fence. This is a criminal offence and a U.S. District Judge, ordered that Eric Holder and his minions must comply with the "Rule of Law" on the books.

Re: “Palmer High School to host 'Unity Fest'”
Tejontech, I'm sorry, but my reading comprehension skills must be lacking, as I see nothing in this blog posting about the advocacy for free, premarital sex nor do I see abortion mentioned until you piped up. I'm going to hazard a guess that buy one get one free abortion coupons, the kama sutra and Dr. Ruth's Guide to Good Sex weren't handed out like Halloween candy at this event. Looking at things based sheerly on the original blog posting and your asinine comments, the only things being advocated here is coming from you in the form of bigotry and ignorance. Espouse what you will, but having the kids plan theeevent, and recognize the purpose behind it, which is ultimately to teach tolerance, and ones own personal responsibility to be accepting of others that are different from themselves pretty much shuts down your entire arguement.

Re: “Palmer High School to host 'Unity Fest'”
Actually, speaking as a student of Palmer High School and a student involved in the planning of Unity Fest, I remember asking Palmer's club dedicated to Christianity if they wanted to participate, and they did not. We did not exclude anyone from this event. That is the opposite of what we were trying to achieve.

Re: “Palmer High School to host 'Unity Fest'”
What about Unity and Diversity don't you understand? While this article leans towards the gay/straight alliance club and it's history. it is by far not the only club celebrated in this festival. What is celebrated is the Diversity of the school population. Palmer is home to one of the most diverse student populations in the city. Students attend from every socio-economic level- homeless, to rich. It contains one of the largest ESL populations, as well as a strong deaf and blind program. Students come from throughout the city to attend the IB program. It also has a first rate restorative justice program, and a dedicated staff that really cares. At last count their are several dozen clubs, ranging from the gay/straight alliance to Palmer Live, anime, chess, religion, video gaming, eco and Peace Jam to name just a few. There is a place for every student. Bullying is minimal. Fights are minimal. This is what Unity Fest celebrates. A chance for a diverse population of kids to get together as one. (And a school wide prayer is constitutionally illegal, however I'm sure several members of clubs may have done just that if that's what they wanted to do).
