Rep. Don Young of Alaska reminding us once again just how classy Alaska Republicans can be during a question and answer session at—where else?—Wasilla High School:
... teacher Carla Swick posed a question about Alaska’s high suicide and domestic violence rates and asked what Young's office is doing about it. Young started talking about suicide, mentioning the role played by alcohol and depression, several witnesses said. The school didn’t record the assembly.
But then, witnesses say, Young said suicide shows a lack of support from friends and family.
That comment stunned students and staff still mourning the loss of a student who died Thursday, staffers say.
The school's principal, Amy Spargo, said she was taken aback:
"When I heard 'a lack of support from family' and I heard 'a lack of support from friends,' I felt the oxygen go out of the room, but I gasped as well," Spargo said. "It just isn't true in these situations. It's just such a hurtful thing to say."
Young's office issued a statement saying the Congressman's comments blaming the students were "well-intentioned." According to the statement, Young felt he merely "shared some suggestions for helping family members and friends who are dealing with suicidal thoughts."
I used to think that they were just making up things to appeal to the far right but now I'm wondering they way they say these things with impunity and belief if they actually believe this crap, if so this is even more scarier than just doing it for political posturing. the tea party gets their kids and indoctrinates them into the Godless hateful selfish world of republican politics.

now they want to continue 365 days non stop changing curriculum in southern schools to teach compliance, non rebellion don not question authority, you kids are doomed to a Stepford kids existence. no mind of their own programmed to obey republican ideology and be their slaves while they continue to do whatever they want to you, them and the country pledging allegiance to the Koch oligarchy.
