The principal of a Catholic school in Milwaukee is telling people to “start acting like adults.” That’s after somebody super-glued the front doors at Messmer Preparatory School, the night before Governor Scott Walker is scheduled to read to third graders at the school this afternoon. The school’s principal, Brother Bob Smith, said he called Milwaukee Police to report the vandalism, and ask for adequate security for today’s visit by the Republican Walker. Smith told W-T-M-J Radio that a woman urged parents to bring noisemakers to Walker’s visit this afternoon – and she warned them to quote, “get ready for a riot.” The principal also said somebody called the Milwaukee Catholic Archdiocese to order Messmer to cancel Walker’s reading lesson – and officials said they couldn’t stop it because Messmer does not rely on the church for its funding. [probably a good thing] Brother Smith said the governor’s visit has nothing to do with the main reason for the protests – the virtual elimination of public union bargaining privileges. The principal said it’s “flat-out wrong” to make something political when it isn’t. And he said the third graders would have no clue about the reason for the protests.WTAQ
Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle. 2 Thes 2:15
