My email to them: To communications biglakeschools.org Message body Hello, Since your decision to single out a certain group of students has now gone national, I assume you might value input from far and wide. My suggestion for your yearbook photo policy is to suggest that you avoid publishing pictures of anyone who isn't LGBTQ, at least 6.25% Native American, 0% Scandinavian, and blue-eyed. Why do you support a group whose pictures are 'published' nationally (worldwide) when you refuse to allow them to be pictured in your yearbook? It is little wonder that public schools find themselves being disparaged by many! Mark Txxxxxxx Graduate, Bemidji State University Public School teacher since 1982 Damn, I need to stop being snarky! Not my opinion Klik, SNARK on brother!! especially to those kind of folks. Geno

Read this article. It explains specifically how our schools have been communized, not least through the assiduous efforts of the communist, Barack Hussein Obama. http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/03/obamas_snowflakes.htmlL.W.

My email to them:
"Dear Mr. Westerberg,
Please have your Board reconsider the decision to exclude the picture of Big Lake HS Trap Team from publication in the school's yearbook.
They are participating in a school sanctioned competitive event, and there is no egregious behavior exhibited that warrants exclusion from a yearbook designed to celebrate school activities.
If the rules are such that even a photo of firearms in the hands of a school sanctioned shooting team needs to be excluded I respectfully suggest your school board change that rule immediately.
I'm not a resident of your school district, this decision to exclude the team photo is now a national (worldwide?) news item and it is a concern of mine that these kids get all the recognition they deserve along with their schoolmates, faculty, and administrative staff, as has been done for many years in many school districts across our nation.
Thanks in advance for your consideration,
Geno

Too damn white. Now, recruit a couple Somalians or illegals to the team and that photo would be on the cover of the yearbook. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's pretty much what I thought...Plus; what if one of 'em identified as transgender? They'd make the book for sure. Talk about insanity.....

Thanks for the support. This spread like wildfire on social media. These kids and the ones that follow them deserve it. This is becoming a very big sport around here. These kids are the future of the shooting sports and hunting. I was up at Reed's Gun Fair this past weekend to shoot some factory guns. There were lots of parents shopping for guns for their kids. Every manufacture had their "micro" models for them to shoot. WCCO NEWS The formal request on a policy amendment was approved by administration on Thursday. Here is the Policy Amendment:
All photos, written text, and artwork must conform to school policies and are subject to approval by the yearbook advisor and/or administration. Photos and artwork that violate school policy, display firearms, weapons, drugs, alcohol, inappropriate gestures or poses, and revealing or obscene clothing may be edited or excluded without permission or notification. Exception given to our school-sponsored trap-shooting team which will be allowed to have team pictures in the yearbook, team poster displayed in the school, and any approved photos taken by yearbook staff. These photos would include their firearms.
Music washes away the dust of everyday life Some people wait a lifetime to meet their favorite hunting and shooting buddy. Mine calls me dad

Sadly, the dukes hafta always be up. True but now so are our's. This is a perfect example of how we don't need to be shouted down by a vocal minority. I think we have been conditioned so long to shrug shoulders and retreat to bitch about what's wrong with the world. It had gotten to the point we felt powerless. The left has long overstepped there bounds, I don't think they are used to a little pushback...and God knows they need it. Keep up the vigilance on the local fronts.

I'm happy this situation has turned out the way it did. However, down the road your task is much more daunting. You, and others have to take the school board head on and vote them out of a job. Get your current members gone and your choices in office. One by one, but get it done.
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

Sadly, the dukes hafta always be up. Very true. The communistnazi liberals never, ever, disengage. Defeat them on an issue and they merely back off, regroup, and come at you from a different direction. L.W.
