Wrong Thoughts not Allowed in Washington State Why? Just the usual America-hatred that is so common among intellectuals and bureaucrats who depend on the American taxpayer for a living, I guess. A patriotic war-veteran in the department was mightily unimpressed by this political grandstanding, however, and said so in an emailed reply. And he hit "Reply All" so that all who got the calendar would also get his protest against it. Fair enough? You might think so but the wonderful people in charge of the operation did not see that as fair at all: We read: "He got a visit from a supervisor who chastised him for improper use of official e-mail" So our vet called for backup and got it in the form of a rocket to the department: "State Sen. Jim Honeyford, R-Sunnyside, wrote DOC director Harold Clarke asking for an explanation". And what was the defence of their actions given by the department? "The purpose of the calendar was to provoke thought, not to celebrate the birthdays of the individuals". But that is exactly what our vet did. It sure provoked thought in him and he expressed what he thought. But he got chastised for doing exactly what the department claims it wanted him to do! The obvious concusion is that only SOME (America-hating) thoughts are allowed.
