I never heard Rush Limbaugh say anything racist.

If Mel Gibson had suggested kids skip school to see The Passion of the Christ, do you think Limbaugh would have suggested the kids go the whole route and loot and set fire to the theater too?

Yes. What, you think Limbaugh cares what Mel Gibson has to say? I think Limbaugh has the common sense approach of thinking kids shouldn't be encouraged to skip school, period. Encouraging a field trip, fine. They are related, yet different, things. Kids should not be encouraged to break rules and to think school is unimportant. I don't know why this surprises people.

I'll admit it's a fine line, but it's a line nonetheless. Kids don't need adult friends. They need adult disciplinarians who teach them right from wrong and how to be a good person. Skipping school does not accomplish this. Tell them to see the movie on a weekend. Problem solved.
