Wal-Mart Turns In Student's Anti-Bush Photo, Secret Service Investigates
Wal-Mart Turns in Student’s Anti-Bush Photo, Secret Service Investigates Him
Matthew Rothschild
October 4, 2005

Jarvis had assigned her senior civics and economics class “to take photographs to illustrate their rights in the Bill of Rights,” she says. One student “had taken a photo of George Bush out of a magazine and tacked the picture to a wall with a red thumb tack through his head. Then he made a thumb’s down sign with his own hand next to the President’s picture, and he had a photo taken of that, and he pasted it on a poster.”

According to Jarvis, the student, who remains anonymous, was just doing his assignment, illustrating the right to dissent.

But over at the Kitty Hawk Wal-Mart, where the student took his film to be developed, this right is evidently suspect.An employee in that Wal-Mart photo department called the Kitty Hawk police on the student. And the Kitty Hawk police turned the matter over to the Secret Service.

On Tuesday, September 20, the Secret Service came to Currituck High.“At 1:35, the student came to me and told me that the Secret Service had taken his poster,” Jarvis says. “I didn’t believe him at first. But they had come into my room when I wasn’t there and had taken his poster, which was in a stack with all the others.”

1. Paranoia runs deep...
Bush's paranoia seems far worse than Nixon's.

7. The teacher could create her own poster with a
pic of Bush and the SS wiping their asses with the Bill of Rights.

What an excellent lesson these students have received about their rights and how this administration is stomping on them.

9. That's the Wal-Mart I would go to , if I was so inclined to go to Wal-Mart
(which I'm not). It's about 20 miles from my house. This should generate some interesting LTTE in the local paper.
