The ever-vigilant Neal Boortz was all over the story of a middle school that refused to allow a Marine to come visit a class of sixth-graders that had written him letters while he served in Iraq. After getting pressure from Boortz’s listeners and others across the country, the local superintendent has now apologized.

Ranting Right Wing Howler highlights the principal’s sorry excuse for blocking the Marine, Sgt. Zach Richardson, from visiting:

“My decision not to allow Zach Richardson to speak with the students on Monday came out of my regard for the safety and welfare of our children.”

If you had to entrust your child to either a Marine or a public school pinhead, is there any doubt which one you’d choose?
