Our legal division doesn\u2019t see any constitutional issue on the officer entering the classroom in his private or public capacity; there\u2019s no expectation of privacy in a public school. We had a police officer call us up and say that Mott was off duty and out of his jurisdiction, so he shouldn\u2019t have entered the school or asked to be let into the locked classroom. You can hear such calls below along with my lengthily reporting of the details. I dedicated more than an hour to this story, and here\u2019s why:<\/line><BR\/>After 70 minutes of discussion, all my <a href=\"\/\/\/home\/cold\/0030.html\">e-mails<\/a> and calls similarly focused on the cop &#8211; just like AP did. &#8220;So what, Rush?&#8221; So we hear education this and education that all the time in this country. Everybody claims to care about teaching &#8220;the children.&#8221; But if we really cared about education, 90% of the garbage going on inside classrooms wouldn\u2019t be permitted. We would have parents involved in their children\u2019s education that know every word on the chalkboard and in the books. A police officer &#8211; who from this story doesn\u2019t seem to have any kids in the school much less in Treece\u2019s class &#8211; wouldn\u2019t have to enter through a service door and then ask a janitor to unlock the classroom for him. The parents would have expressed their outrage; instead, there wasn\u2019t a peep.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>&amp;lt;span id=&#8221;Par_0008_col&#8221; style=&#8221;font-family:arial; font-size:12px; color:003399; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;&#8221;>Read More of Rush\u2019s Brilliance&#8230;&amp;lt;\/span>&amp;lt;\/td>&amp;lt;\/tr><\/line><BR\/>&amp;lt;tr> &amp;lt;td>&amp;lt;img src=&#8221;\/0.gif&#8221; width=&#8221;1&#8243; height=&#8221;0&#8243;>&amp;lt;\/td>&amp;lt;\/tr>&amp;lt;tr width=&#8221;484&#8243;>&amp;lt;td width=&#8221;484&#8243; valign=&#8221;top&#8221;>&amp;lt;span id=&#8221;Par_0008&#8243; style=&#8221;font-family:arial; font-size:12px; color:000000;&#8221;>&amp;lt;a target=new href=&#8221;\/home\/eibessential.member.html&#8221;>(&#8230;right here in Rush 24\/7\u2019s EIB Essential Stack of Stuff)&amp;lt;\/a>&amp;lt;\/span>&amp;lt;\/td>&amp;lt;\/tr><\/line><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/en\/download\/default.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/truth_detector.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If Mr. Treece posted pictures of me and Ronald Reagan on the wall, this cop would be a hero and the teacher would be on his way out.
