Michelle Malkin has the story that I imagined was happening this morning as I was watching news reruns. The students that walked out of schools in CA to "protest" and disrupt traffic have not only not been punished, but actually rewarded.

Letters were sent out, both in English and Spanish, to inform parents that the police would be taking care of the lawbreakers, including providing them with rides back to the school after they blocked traffic on an interstate. The police instead should have arrested them. Do you think I could get away with walking on an interstate and blocking traffic if I wanted to protest something?

The students instead should be suspended from school. Those who did NOT participate should be rewarded by having school days without disruption from those who are lawbreakers. The federal government should suspend all funding of those school districts -- why am *I* being forced to pay for students to walk on an interstate highway?

The students should be warned that if they disrupt the school day again that they will be suspended. The police should have had paddy wagons out, picking up the "kids." Do you think for a minute they would have kept going if there were a couple arrests and shots fired?

No, I don't care about the escalation. It's too late -- it's already escalted. We have now shown the "kids" in CA that if you don't want to go to school because the Congress might actually make your parents responsible for their own actions, that not only is it okay, we will protect you while you do it.

I'm not sure there's any hope left for this country.
