17 Year-Old School Girls Join Occupy Denver in Disrupting BlogCon11 (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, November 13, 2011, 8:04 AM
On Thursday Catholic school teacher Celia Bard from St. Mary’s Academy in Denver brought members of her “21st Century: Challenges and Choices” class down to the Occupy Denver tramp camp. Ms. Bard’s class then joined the radical protesters and marched several blocks over to the Crowne Plaza where they stormed the hotel to shut down the conservative BlogCon11 conference. Ms Bard said she was teaching the students about democracy when asked why she would bring high school girls to such a potentially violent event.
Now there is video of the 17 year-old girls joining in the chanting with the 99% commies and homeless people to protest BlogCon. You’ll notice the 17 year-old girls have absolutely no idea what they are talking about but believe it is completely reasonable to shut down a conservative blogger conference. Their teacher would be very proud.
Via Jeff Goldstein:
If these girls are from Ms. Bard’s class at St. Mary’s Academy, their parents are paying $14,000 a year so that they can learn how to wage war against the rich and stifle free speech. What a deal.
More on these student protesters here.

ahem commented:
Just remember, these kids may not necessarily be Catholic. A lot of wealthy parents send their kids to Catholic school in order to avoid public school.
Much good it has done them; the Left seeps in everywhere. Only a ‘progressive’—marxist–Catholic school would have hired that teacher. See how the Catholics have fallen?

Anti-Commie commented:
ANY teacher that talks students to riots should loose their right to teach FOREVER. if this teacher did this with my child she would have to be in hiding!
Listen to the VULGAR language of these little HOOKERS! They should be kicked out of a RELIGIOUS school! This trashy talk goes along with their morals; they probably make spending money ‘selling’ to fellow students!
Mac in NM commented:
Remember when Obama said ‘I want you on their face’? Folks these little robots are only listening to their elders. One can only hope the RNC is taking notes on this but I seriously doubt it.
Annie Rose commented:
A local high school teacher did the same thing in our town, except it was to attack the fire chief over prohibiting flammable dance decorations and demand that he be fired. She passed out scripts to each student that simply were reprints of each portion of her initial remarks. When they stormed out of the board meeting without giving the board a chance to respond, the chief followed them out into the lobby to address their misconceptions. The teacher told the school the next day that she had been physically assaulted by the chief. These people are seriously mental and they are teaching our children. The normal teachers dare not speak out for fear of their jobs.
No Man commented:
Wasting $14,000 a year to have your kid brainwashed into an Obama-worshiping moron.
SeniorD commented:
If this teacher were trying to teach democracy, she failed. Rather, she taught about anarchy which is what I would expect from someone with a degree in education.
Not only has this teacher taught the wrong lesson, think of all the parents who must now consider how their daughters were introduced to a society where morality and ethics are at rock bottom. Anyone wanna take a bet as to how many of these wastes of oxygen know what school these girls attend?
Deanna commented:
These girls didn’t care about anything other than getting out of class and having “fun.” I was waiting for one to say “for sure. totally, like…you know.” The teacher on the other hand should be fired if there were no permission slips sent home for this little trip.

No. Like good little Leftist Socialists, they’ve been taught that shutting down rightwing hate speech or any other speech which goes against their “group think” they’ve been taught (either by shouting them down or physically assaulting them so they STFU!) is not only their RIGHT but their OBLIGATION as Leftists. Little do they realize that, when they are no longer useful to “the cause”, they’ll be rounded up and exterminated.
NeoKong commented:
So that’s what you get for $14,000 a year…?
I would be a little pissed if I was the one paying for that nonsense.

Captain Chaos commented:
These girls are in for a rude awakening when someday the Communist government they voted for will be denying them that pretty cell phone they love carrying around and their favorite malls are shut down because the gov’t is in control of the factors of production as well as what’s on the shelves are now up to the politbureau. And if they don’t like it…off to the gulag!
Gawfer commented:
This whole OWS is laden with irony.
Dear Occupiers:
“It does not matter how legitimate you believe your civil complaint to be, that if in order to be heard, you associate yourself with pagan elements of society who seek the overthrow of government and laws, your message is lost by the association alone. I for one (and apparently there a millions like me), see your values and judgment mortally flawed by your willingness to consort with those who have no respect for our Constitution, our laws, our defenders, our history, our property or our heritage. The right to free speech is sacrosanct, but our equal right to recognize and rebuff the immoral trash of socialist, communist, Nazis and any/all who associate with them directly or by proxy, shall not be denied or impugned as unjust.”
Terry Peterson.
In other words, until they condemn the nefarious and disgusting behavior of the many, there is no distinction between the two.
Wagonwheel commented:
And just how is it, Gawfer, that the OWSers have no “respect for the Constitution”. In fact, it is YOU who has no respect!
Arch commented:
The first amendment gives Americans freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, the right to assemble peacefully and the right to redress of grievances. The right of assembly is not a right to riot. The redress of grievances protects a citizen’s right to criticize government without retaliation. The right of free speech does not include preventing others from speaking. Drowning out one’s opponent is a sign of weakness. Without a logical, reasoned argument for their position, the Left is admitting that they have lost the debate.
America works at the ballot box. Tea Party Movement addressed public officials in open meetings and in peaceful demonstrations explaining that they opposed the increase in government spending and regulation. The only violence associated with the TPM was from the unions, leftists and their useful idiots directed at the Tea Party. A year ago, Americans demonstrated the political consequences of ignoring one’s constituents. In a year, we will see another wave election. That is the way forward.
If my daughter were on YouTube dropping F bombs, we would have a little talk. That cell phone/camera and her car keys would be spending the next two months in my desk. Her teacher would receive a letter outlining the limits of our contract to supervise students and prohibit their use as props in a political demonstrations, with copies to the Mother Superior, Bishop and Archbishop. We are talking about minors here. Parents have a moral obligation to teach responsibility, respect for others and moral values. Attending a school is not an abrogation of parental authority.
In 1981 in El Salvador, I witnessed the Catholic Church at its political worst, wrapped up in Liberation Theology. There is a difference between expressing moral outrage at a repressive regime and taking an active part in a civil war. Pope John Paul, a Pole who knew the dangers of Communism, straightened them out, but not before many priests and nuns were killed. In my view, both sides were tragically wrong.
Ipso Facto commented:

I somehow fail to see the “critical thinking skills” that this particular course touts in its course synopsis.
I’m sure Ms. Bard (“drab” spelled backward) now has something to brag about her street cred in the faculty lounge where she is undoubtedly receiving rock star treatment.

The St. Mary’s Academy Facebook page appears to be another source for contacting the school about this:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/St-Marys-Academy-Englewood-CO/109026309139016
Looks like we just missed the campus Open House (November 6th) where we could have gone to directly bring this up.
Christopher Taylor commented:
Hopefully their parents have been fully informed about this and can change the school their kids go to – but I bet their parents are in full support of this idiocy.
Taking kids down to an occupy event to show them part of political action is reasonable, but there should have been a return to class to discuss the difference between democracy and a republic, anarchy and democracy, and how protest and assembly does not mean occupation and squatting.
olms commented:
This is what indoctrination looks like and it is prevalent in education, Catholic and public alike. I have 2, one a product of each. The public is much worse but the Catholic is bad too.
The only option without indoctrination is on line schools. It is still there in the content but you can control the exposure and comparatively it is minimal.
14,000 a year and they want to kill capitalism.
You couldn’t make this stuff up.
Secret Squirrel commented:
#4,
I went to catholic school in the early 80s and mid 80s. I am not surprised by this. I know of at least eight of the school girls from that time ended up pregnant before the age of 16. All of them had no class and no tact what-so-ever. If I had children I’d never send them to any school. I’d school them myself.
Dave-O commented:
Ironic how the School’s website announces that the Alumnae Board is presenting a discussion on the topic of “Navigating Corporate Culture” on Thursday, November 17th.
I wonder if the presentation includes storming corporate meetings with a large mob and interrupting them with loud chants and vulgarities. At least that’s what their teachers seem to be instructing. Democracy in action, right?
Opus#6@AmericanPerspective commented:
War against the rich? Last time I checked, bloggers are not rich. But even if we were, we have rights. First amendment rights.
This teacher should be fired for contributing to the delinquency of minors. Unlawful actions are not teaching.
Dunce commented:
Their parents are probably employed in the public school system and enrolled them in the catholic school for access to a good education. most parents do not have 14,000 dollars of discretionary income. the catholic church institutions have been systematically infiltrated by homosexuals, liberation theologists, and socialists that need a respectable cover for their political activities, perversion, and anti American agenda. The pretty one had little to say but the other girl opened her mouth to reveal herself as a fool. If they really want a learning experience then they should limit their activity to observing and listening for coherent arguments.
Benton Park Avenger commented:
This is why I stopped going to mass at Roman Catholic churches. Besides using my money to cover up pedophilia, they support socially liberal/radical nonsense like this. Ms. Bard’s should research what happened to the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris due to the French Revolution or to the Orthodox church in Russia after 1917 or why the Dali Lama had to walk in his sandals across the Himalays to get away from the ChiComs. The people they are marching with are not too far off of the mark from those tyrants. Also how does snuffing out another group’s right to free speech and assembly promote democracy. Who took over for Chaput in Denver? probably some Jesuit with leather chaps under his chasuble.
Jaimo commented:
You know, Catholics get what they deserve, they’re as bad as the Jewish people. They continue to vote for Democrats who are ideologically against a large portion of what they believe. Next we’ll hear that some Catholic church in one of the OWS cities will provide asylum to protestors should they get into trouble.
Highlander commented:
Yes, the indoctrination continues. We have a job to do though. We must remain focused …
Countdown to the end of the Obama Nightmare
Jaimo commented:
Also, my son went to catholic grade school K-8 and refused to go to Catholic high school. He said that there were more drug dealers and sluts going to Catholic high school than public school. They had the money from Mommy and Daddy to splurge on drugs, booze and sex.
OWSCarl Nitwit Extraordinaire commented:
Wasn’t someone on another thread touting how intelligent these young women are? Yet, when asked to about what they were learning, they could only articulate that “bloggers were f#cking up their future”, but not how their futures were being f#cked up by blogging. I don’t even remember that on the list of OWS problems needing to be solved. Methinks the word “intelligent” is not applicable in this case.
SM-AZ commented:
Here’s the website for the Archdiocese of Denver Catholic schools—–we need to let them know we don’t appreciate their misuse of our tax dollars. Since the Catholic church has a tax exemption—the rest of us our paying more—-they’re supposed to refrain from politics. Catholic tuition isn’t tax deductible—-but the entire church still has the favored tax status: the schools are part of the Arch of Denver, etc.

17 or not, that brunette was incredible. I also agree that a majority of these cake eating children have no idea what they are even there for. If you asked them if their parents should give up more money to others and they couldn’t have their iphone, car, fancy clothes, etc so others could have more, they would decline.
wanumba commented:
WHere’s the complaint that these minors were being coached to misdemeanor crime, trespassing.
The parents are AWOL or OK with this, otherwise their daughters wouldn’t BE at that school. SO, “book ‘em.”

Police: Occupy San Francisco protesters attack officers
http://www.contracostatimes.com/news/ci_19325025?source=rss
SAN FRANCISCO — One San Francisco police officer was slashed by a razor and another had his uniform torn and cheek cut in a clash with Occupy San Francisco protesters Saturday afternoon, authorities said.
About 3:30 p.m., near the Embarcadero and Broadway, police attempted to prevent marching demonstrators from blocking the intersection where MUNI light rail tracks are located.
A female protester emerged from the crowd and an “exacto razor blade attached to a pen or pencil-like object,” San Francisco police said in an email.
“The female slashed the inside of the officer’s hand and ran back into the crowd before the officer had time to realize he was cut,” police said.
In a second incident, a protester grabbed an officer’s police radio and ran back into the crowd. As the officer attempted to retrieve it, a second protester blocked the officer and tore his uniform and cut his cheek, police said, intimating that a weapon had been used.
The officer retrieved his radio and both male demonstrators escaped into the crowd, police said.
Both injured officers were treated and released at the scene. No arrests have been made.
Patty commented:
When raised by wolves will act like them. When liberals raise liberal kids, this is the result.
When history and Politics are taught on the side of leading left and teachers are expressing their political views in classrooms, the students will soak it up. But when parents who send their kids to these schools, like I have, and spend big bucks to do it, you can bet my influence will be the only one they will listen too. That is when it comes to our nation’s true history and politics.
My kids are conservative and republican second and will continue to be. They came out and through the other side. The right side and won’t be influence by anyone but their parents. And no one but no one will has brainwashed them. Not even me. They see the occupiers, Obama, democrats and liberals and they recognize hate when they see it.
Thank God.
greenfairie commented:
Are the parents shelling out $14K/yr. were too busy raising money for Obama to care their little gossip girls are being exposed to lice and tuberculosis?
It infuriates me as a Catholic and a conservative that a Church institution is encouraging the disruption of another group’s First Amendment rights. Why don’t the organizers of BlogCon take it to the school and the Archdiocese of Denver instead of shrugging its shoulders? Conservatives take this sort of thing lying down too often.

You heard the blonde say that this is what they learn in school. How many years of their impressionable lives have they been taught these lies they believe to be true? Sadly, the Alinsky propaganda has crept into private schools as well as the public schools.
And people wonder why there are those who home school their children?
Patty commented:

Some of these bishops are some of the most irritating self righteous people you would ever know. They are human and no better no worst than any other human being. imo.
I had a very bad experience as a kid in a Catholic elementary school and because of a priest.
He would embarrass me every Friday morning as that would be the day he came into class.
To this day I still cringe. It was a manipulation of words and I can only hope that if he did reach heaven, he is sorry for his sins too.
You see, we hold the key to raising our children with moral values. We do, not others and if we connect with our children daily and not just when we feel like it, we will have raised one excellent and honest adult.
Major Kong commented:
Much of this is endemic of Church leadership that refuses to lead. The teacher in question is, in all likelihood, unconcerned that she will be held accountable for her actions. Indeed, she may well have the blessing of the school principal. Until bishops and archbishops begin to do the hard work of truly shepherding their flocks we will see more and more of this. I am not confident that these Church elders are, as a group, going to find their collective voice anytime soon. As faithful Catholics we may well be presented with a schism similar to the one the Anglicans have been confronting over so-called gay marriage. As Pope Benedict has indicated, we, as a Church, may have to become smaller to become purer. If this means a break with scandal-inducing, well known CHINO politicians and entertainers, well, that will be just fine with me. We, the faithful, will have to have someplace to go, however. And I for one refuse to abandon Peter, because of the plague of Judases we have in our midst.

Parents can learn from their own parents. Back then when I was growing up you never called out a priest.
So, now, I have learned not to be like by parents in this one insist. My children have come to be with everything. And I have called out anyone who did something that I didn’t like but it was rare. Fortunately. We raised our kids, NOT, teachers and every parent needs to be involved and some just aren’t. Too busy, too tired, don’t care and those are the ones who are occupiers, lonely, become less than they could have and truthfully, teachers are becoming too influential and too bold expressing their personal views. We don’t pay for this and public or privately it is not in a teachers pay grade to do this. THAT’S IS THE PROBLEM.
Teachers job is to Teach curriculum not their views left or right.
Conservative Ken commented:

Bingo! The OWS movement is indeed a cult mentality. You can’t argue or reason past their indoctrination. They will always fall back on their old talking points, “Koch brothers”, one percent, etc. If you win the verbal confrontation with them you risk physical violence. Their one purpose is to exercise their imaginary rights at the expense of our legitimate rights.
Freddy commented:
“bloggers are destroying the world”
The girl that made this claim did not look Chineese. I wonder why she has the same opinion as the Red Chineese government regarding censorship of bloggers? And if she does, does she support communism?
Or, on a more serious level, does she know what communism is?

You can tell just how immature these two girls are. Neither have lived life long enough to recognize how our nation operates. Some day, I hope they will see how foolish they were.
Major problems in our school system. Economics, current affairs and history are not being taught or learned in the classrooms. And if they are then the teachers are giving an impartial view.
Also, the law is also a subject that isn’t taught in some schools today. And more importantly, is the Constitution and how our government is trying to change certain parts for political gain.
If this school is hell bent going to these events, why didn’t you hear of them at Tea Party events. Especially, Beck’s event. Kid were there and they were so wonderful and they were with their parents. Maybe this is why PARENTS CAN TEACH THEIR CHILDREN THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR HISTORY AND CONSTITUTION BECAUSE TODAY THERE ARE TOO MANY LIBERALS TEACHING THEM..
Duhawk commented:
nice move hoft, so as far as i can tell, one person interrupted that fat piece of crap that was hosting for Dana Rash, and now your trying your best to ruin everyone’s lives that was involved with it? why don’t ya print the teachers, and those girls names and addresses so your minions can go after them directly rather than yelling at the schools facebook account. Is that what you learned in that liberal catholic college you went to.. ?(Loras)

regularguy commented:
I can’t speak for all who call themselves Catholics, but I am one who utterly opposes the intrinsic evils of socialism and what these OWS fools stand for. My Catholic church, and by that I mean the entire faith, utterly opposes socialism and has definitively identified the evils as they are and what they do to people. Today’s Mass reading, in fact, was scriptural support of capitalism and our calls to invest our lives and faith to build a better world with such concepts. Socialism is a cheap, deceptive imitation that many Catholics fall for in the guise of a perverted sense of compassion. It is pseudo-intellectualism, or intellectual laziness, which has allowed far too many Catholics to be hoodwinked into believing their Catholic faith calls for “liberation theology” and socialism, when these are perversions of the faith and Christianity. We as Catholics and other Christian denominations must root out these teachers and, through vigilance, constantly educate everyone on the dangers of falling for these deceptions. This teacher should be fired, or the school closed if that doesn’t happen. They are abusing children with this indoctrination, pure and simple.

WillofLa commented:
What all, ALL, of the Occupier’s are missing in everything they have done in the past month and ahalf is it was due to the benefits of CAPITALISM that gave the Occupier’s and their leadership the money they needed to stay in their camps and provide food, sleeping bags to those who didn’t have them, money to buy dope if they needed it, and money to pay the Communist Party USA to come to New York to demonstrate. And for these little rich biatches and their rich parents are also the beneficiaries of CAPITALISM and the big money their parents make every month that has kept them in this private school, and the salary of their teacher as well. The money didn’t fall out of the sky, nor did it come from the government. Well, some of it may have in benefit checks for some of the homeless who might be drawing SSI. All they would need is some kind of permenant address to receive a check.
It hit me last night that all this wouldn’t be possible in Russia, or China, or any other Socialist run European country because either you are protesting on an empty stomach like the Muslims are doing over in Syria or someplace, although they do manage to keep themselves fed somehow so they aren’t completely poor and protesting to, or you are like these rich girls who don’t look like they have ever missed a meal.
All this crap is so hypocritical because it is CAPITALISM that has paid for the protests, and is keeping all these scumbag demostrator’s well fed. It’s good that the resturants are turning the protesters away or they would have been out of business by now. And the protesters need to know that it was because of the profits made from CAPITALISM the resturants owners were benefiting from that allowed them to have the extra food to be able to give to the protesters.
See, America is run by CAPITALISM in order for it to be the kind of country it is, and has become. Nothing in this country is free. You pay for it one way or another, even if you are just taking a walk, or burning up alot of energy walking in a protest march due to nervousness, physical exertion, and other forms of burning up energy and fat. CAPITALISM is responsible for our very lives, including the lives of every protester. Breaking up the American’s For Prosperity conference is not destroying CAPITALISM, all it does is make it stronger in that the attendee’s will work even harder so that the next time maybe they can pay off the mayor of whatever city they hold their next conference in so that they can get the police protection they needed to keep the protesters out of from in front of the doors so that people can go and come without henderence from protesters standing in front of the doors.

look here:
Also, the union that defends us teachers and public education is tied down by a fatal flaw—its complete devotion to the Democratic Party. Now, we must be absolutely clear because the union must be defended. It is a target of fierce attack. And the union is a powerful weapon in the struggle for public education. Where the union is strong, teachers are better and happier workers, and the education provided is superior.
What is needed is an organized movement that is capable of shaking the capitalist class to its core. Reforms are won when the capitalist class is in danger. And that movement is entirely possible. Teachers, students and families are angry. Workers are angry. But that movement needs to be a movement that doesn’t just take up the banner of public education, but the banner of health care, housing, jobs and the war. Public education is a working-class issue connected to these other countless working-class issues.
And that is exactly what should be done. The reform of public education should be led by the working-class students and families served by public education and the workers who make schooling happen: teachers, paraprofessionals and others.

Oh the wisdom of a 17 year old. Who among you seeks the advise of a 17 year old. Why the opinions of 99% of the 17 year olds are devoid of reason, logic or the hard reality provided by experience. These children have no idea who their Congressman is, nor who authorized the Constitution or what it says. Too often I see grown up versions of these idiots braying all sorts of nonsense that serves as an indication of the fauilures of our educational system.

There’s no such thing as bad students… Only BAD TEACHERS! If only it were legal… I’d occupy all those protesters with my foot in their faces!

I think a lot of people forget that these are adults harassing teenage girls who appear to be only watching the arguments before the blogger began filming them. It’s good for young people to be exposed to all kinds of democracy, the good and the bad forms.
