Now that the Forest Lake High School (in Minnesota) has received a lot of negative attention the school administrators have changed their story on why they canceled the appearance by the Vets for Freedom Heroes Tour. Now, they’re saying it’s because of a concern for security for the students! Previously, they said it was due to complains from a few parents regarding a political statement from these Heroes. Now, the school officials are making up excuses for their bad behavior, worse judgement and poor treatment of our War Heroes which I’m sure is coming from pressure not only throughout the country but from their own town.

From Katherine Kersten:

“We had been excited about the vets coming,” Massey told the Star Tribune. “Then, lo and behold, they schedule a news conference on our campus. Time out.”

That’s flat wrong, says Pete Hegseth, Vets for Freedom director. Vets for Freedom didn’t plan a press conference, but a low-key “media availability” at their bus before the event with students.

Massey wasn’t caught off guard by this, adds Hegseth – he approved it in advance.

“We were hoping a few local reporters – like from the Forest Lake Times – would show up and talk to some of the guys at the bus before the event started,” explains Hegseth.

Today, Lynn Steenblock, Forest Lake School District superintendent, provided a different spin. The school called off the event for an unimpeachable reason — it threatened “student safety,” he told the Star Tribune.

“There could have been many reasons to cancel this event,” responds Hegseth. “But the very last one is security. It’s a complete sham argument. I was told the event was cancelled because of ‘political pressure.’ Security was not part of the reason cited to me.”

This liberal weenie Principal and Superintendent now realize their anti-military agenda has been exposed and they are lying and backtracking. Great educators! Show the students how to lie and weasel their way out of self inflicted jams. Another example of the public education system by way of the Minnesota Education union.

We wouldn’t want the truth to get in the way of an agenda.
