... an understatement, if there ever was one. The guys at Abu Ghraib were treated a helluva lot better than the children at public schools in Chicago, President Obama's own hometown.
If these children had instead been hardened jihadists caught in the act of illegal combat, the Islamists and the Hard Left would be rampaging and burning cars in the streets as we speak to condemn their torture!
Right in Obama's own backyard.
What the hell?!
"He holded my arms and he picked my body up, and then he just slammed me on the desk," Martin said.
An exclusive CBS 2 investigation discovered Treveon Martin is one of at least 818 Chicago Public School students, since 2003, to allege being battered by a teacher or an aide, coach, security guard, or even a principal. In most of those cases - 568 of them - Chicago Public School investigators determined the children were telling the truth.
"I'm thinking that I don't really feel safe," Martin said.
The 2 Investigators found reports of students beaten with broomsticks, whipped with belts, yard sticks, struck with staplers, choked, stomped on and pushed down stairs. One substitute teacher even fractured a student's neck.
But even more alarming, in the vast majority of cases, teachers found guilty were only given a slap on the wrist.
Is this America or is this... Taliban-ruled Afghanistan? It sure doesn't sound like something that'd happen in the Free World in this day and age.
This is beyond disturbing. It's an emergency situation.
What other public schools in the Free World tolerate teachers viciously beating small children and injuring them? *Ahem*... that's not a rhetorical question. I mean, I'm afraid that we'll have to assume that this isn't necessarily a freak, isolated incident, as we know that corruption, criminality and evil are very active everywhere in the Free World, thanks to the Hard Left and its wacky, destructive, "progressive" ideological movement and total infiltration of all Free World state apparati, infecting them with its corruption.
The Free World is obviously quite ill. The situation with these public schools in Chicago is but one example of the sickness afflicting the Free World.
The Free World has become too arrogant, complacent, cavalier. People don't want to believe that bad things could possibly happen here, that we're immune because we're "civilized". But what they don't understand is that by ignoring the imperative of law and order and failing to be scrupulously intolerant of corruption, criminalism, unethicality, immorality, all in the name of liberal-progressivism, they're shooting the Free World in the foot and shoving their societies backwards towards where the Non-Free World (which they believe to be a model civilization, their mentor Utopian Paradise, even though it's obvious to the reality-seeing that this is but a figment of a mass-propagandist's wildest imagination) is.
Despite this terrible reality, don't expect the Hard Left and the Big Media to make a stink about these Chicago public schools with the teachers who are permitted to viciously beat the living daylights out of defenceless little kids. The Hard Left and the Big Media only care about the terrorists, only care about our mortal enemies, not about defenceless little American children being viciously, brutally, injuriously beaten by their own teachers! Just watch... wait for the outrage. I predict that this will be hush-hushed, as it's too inconvenient, and might somehow make Obama look bad, as he's shut down Gitmo and ordered to be ended the charges against one of the terrorists involved in the attack on the USS Cole and probably won't do anything about the crisis in Chicago. I bet Obama can't be bothered to issue any executive orders to crack down on the evil teachers in Chicago or anything like that. Probably excuse himself, saying, "It's not my jurisdiction"... Yep... I predict that the whole "yes we can" thing will be soon forgotten completely, replaced with, "not my jurisdiction" or some other convenient, cynical, cavalier, arrogant, uncaring, typical-"progressive"-sophisticate cop-out.
Isn't it astonishing that this is being reported as occuring in the very city from whence Saint Obama emerged? Wonder what he'll do about this? Probably nothing. He's obviously got more important things to do, like impose international socialism and kiss Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's stinky butt.
