Hey! Actor at 1:32! Yes, you! Thanks for taking the time to research your character's role by looking like a middle schooler smoking his first cigarette behind the schoolhouse. Jesus, dude.

i remember those days>> ^wormwood:

They actually tried to go metric in the 70s. We started learning it in elementary school and there were TV spots trying to teach us all about it--schoolhouse rock kind of stuff. And you started seeing dual units on packaging and speedometers, etc. Coke went from 2-quart to 2-liter bottles, which were a bit larger and therefore popular. Those 2 liter bottles are still around as the only remaining effect of the effort--even NdGT has given up! Americans hate the metric system, but they will put up with it if it means a slightly larger volume of sugary liquid to suck on.

Upvote for the concept, if not the execution. It would be great to see somebody make some reality based updates for Schoolhouse Rock.

I think it's pointing out how we humans have trouble looking in the mirror. Jesus talked about the mantra of the hypocrite, I think we're failing at following his words.

This is the funniest parody of Schoolhouse Rock, and my favorite. I hope this stays!

Your video, Pirates and Emperors - Schoolhouse Rock, has made it into your personal Highest Rated Videos listing. Congratulations on a job well done. For you contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Why does it matter? Because it gives people purpose. It gives them a reason to: rape, pillage, destroy, create, paint, sculpt, kill, read, act, sing, eat, sleep, maim, shit, yell, throw, fuck, savor, write, masturbate, dance...

It all comes down to verbs...

Schools can take reasonable measures to maintain a secure learning environment--but they cannot do so at the expense of free speech: see Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District. I'll quote just this snippet: students don't "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech and expression at the schoolhouse gate."

You can't wear a bikini to school because wearing a bikini would disrupt the learning environment and because wearing a bikini is not, as the courts say, "expressive conduct." In other words, it doesn't express an opinion on some issue.

The shirt in this case clearly DOES express an opinion--an unpopular or misguided one maybe, but still an opinion. So long as the expression of that opinion does not use vulgar or obscene language, (see Bethel School District v. Fraser) the Supreme court has ruled it must be allowed. This includes unpopular or even anti-diversity opinions (search for Elliot Chambers and his "Straight Pride" t-shirt, although that issue was on a college campus).

And Christ, volumptuous, that school of yours sounds like a massive lawsuit waiting to happen. I'm pretty sure the courts would agree that wearing a cross or other religious symbol is "expressive conduct" and would strike down any attempts to prevent students from wearing them. Which of course means that some asshat student would probably come to school with a pentagram or something and claim they worship Satan just to rile people up on purpose, but I can live with that as the price paid to live in a free society.

Otherwise known as "schoolhouse where a Christmas play is being held by kindergartners."

The Schoolhouse Rock people said they were embarrassed by this vid and would make it differently today. I still love the song, even if its got a bit of ignorance in it. OTOH, "manifest destiny" is in fact what they called it back then so in a sense, its merely reporting the facts of how people viewed western movement.

what a bunch of luddites!

The Internet is the same damned thing as a hugmongous library because that is what it is: gargantuan amounts of information and nothing more. Except the internet is a global library and one can use it as fast or slow as one wants. Do you really think pick-and-choosing in order to support a viewpoint is somehow new to the internet?!

The internet allows ALL people to become as educated as they want. People can expand themselves or become more myopic; their choice.

Information does not make anyone stupid, regardless of how fast or slow it is. It is how people choose to access the information, digest the information and disperse the information that determines whether they are gaining knowledge or not.

Yeah, maybe we should all go back to one-room schoolhouses and chalkboards too. Sheesh.

fuuuuck!

that's what's happenin'!
