I am very concerned that our liberties are constantly being trampled on by local governments ,school boards, fed. government and police.
It is very disheartening to witness this grievous disregard for the Constitution and bill of rights that so many people given their lives defending.This has bothered me for quite a long time but always felt helpless to do anything about it. What has sparked this today was this article in the local paper concerning one of our middle schools.Here is a part of that news article.

PALM BAY — A Brevard middle-schoolers punishment for hugging another student has some up in arms over what they see as an innocent, and increasingly popular, gesture by a child.

Others say the school, Southwest Middle in Palm Bay, has every right to put the squeeze on public displays of affection, a move so common in the United States that some schools ban everything from handshakes to hugs to high-fives.

The debate fired up when word got out that Southwest Middle eighth-grader Nick Martinez, 14, received an in-school suspension Nov. 1 for a between-classes hug with a female student, witnessed by the principal, Todd Scheuerer.

Brevard Public Schools officials and the principal say Martinez violated the schools longtime no-hug policy, which is in the student handbook and can be found on-line.

All schools must adhere to the district's student conduct policy addressing public displays of affection, said Christine Davis, district spokeswoman, who could not comment on the student's discipline record or whether the girl Martinez hugged was suspended.

But individual schools can implement tougher policies with approval from their student advisory councils, which include parent and staff members, she said.


It's a small thing in comparison with all the blatant disregard for our personal rights occurring in our country. It seems to me that any Tom, Dick or Harry, committee,or local official who doesn't like something can ban it, no-madder what it is, IE hugging, shaking hands,walking down the street,wearing certain clothing, etc... You get the idea.

I have wondered for quite some time the legality of banning various functions,actions or speech, why and how do they get away with this? What happened to the people's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity?

for example:Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

I have looked a bit into the constitution and did not find the word ban and how that could or would be enacted in law today.

GREAT WAY TO " BUY USA & CANADA” AND NOT FROM CHINA !! This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you. The whole world is afraid of China-made "black hearted goods". Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China? If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690, 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA. If they are 471, they are from Taiwan. This is our right to know, but the government and related departments never educate the public, therefore, we have to RESCUE ourselves. Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products "MADE IN CHINA", so they don't show from which country it is made. However, you may now refer to the barcode, remember if the first 3 digits are: 690- 692 ... then it is MADE IN CHINA . 00 - 09 ... USA & CANADA 30 - 37 ... FRANCE 40 - 44 ... GERMANY 47 ... Taiwan 49 ... JAPAN 50 ... UK BUY U SA & CANADIAN MADE by watching for "0 " at the beginning of the number. We need every boost we can get!
