Principal Chiles ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ):

I recently read about your ridiculous decision to punish four graduates for the behaviour of spectators during their graduation ceremony.  Having grown up down the highway in Tazwell and Peoria Counties, this development is very distressing to me.

I find it fascinating that you believe that an innocent person, not involved in the "disruption" you mentioned, should be forced into 8 hours of indentured servitude to receive a diploma they earned for an education mandated by state law.  How is it that a student should be forced to submit to manual labor to pay for another's "crime"?

Principal Chiles, is punishing one person for the actions of another what passes for education and justice in Galesburg in 2007? 

The whole world is watching and we want to know.  I doubt very much that this is how the City and it's businesses wish to be represented to the rest of the world.

Yours in Liberty,


James Landrith

UPDATE - some cowardly anti-American authoritarians who believe that innocent kids should be punished for the "crimes" of their parents and friends (guilt by association is the new "conservative" battle-cry):

(A non-mainstream blogger who, rather than reporting the facts in the case, is promoting the concept of "guilt by association".  Silly Rabbit is now urging his readers not to respond to me - a clear case of conservative moral cowardice in the face of libertarian truth and honest debate.  It is not unusual for such an individual to express opinions indicating that children - and everyone else - are effectively the property of the state and then run and hide when taken to task for same.  Such behaviour is what passes for mainstream conservatism in 2007.  Sad.)

(A "conservative" school teacher with 30 years experience and no respect for individual sovereignty - kids are the property of the state in this blogger's mind and justice and fairness are just old words with no meaning in a school building.  Facts take a back seat to the official policy; individual rights are overruled by the blunt force of government authority; mindless conformity replaces individuality; and "because I said so" is what passes for logic in such a statist mindset.  Time to retire.)
