Broadcasting the propaganda. Worse yet the story they were running was about some college in Texas being in lock down. I tried to find some information about this incident apparently FAUX is the only one who knows about it and it is wall to wall St Edwards University Evacuated interjected with the bu$h photo-op at VT.

I and many others were repulsed at the selection of TV viewing in the Cafeteria, I sent a message to the HR department that if they were going to show news the least they could do was select a news channel.

1. It ain't Texas

Brief Cranbrook lockdown after report of man wearing women’s clothing

April 17, 2007

By EMILIA ASKARI

FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER

Classes at Cranbrook went on as normal this morning after a brief lockdown, triggered by an allegation of a man wearing women’s clothing on the Bloomfield Hills campus.

A mother who was dropping off a student in the parking lot told authorities that she saw a 6-foot-tall man wearing a blonde wig, high heels, a skirt and a black coat.

Classrooms were locked for about an hour and a half while police searched the campus. They found nothing suspicious...

5. Well, CNN now sez
A school in Austin is indeed in lockdown. St. Edwards University. A threatening note found in the bathroom.

Quite a bit more serious than some dude dressed in drag.

Sigh. :(

6. I wasn't really paying attention to it, but on MSNBC they did say
something about a school in Texas being locked down because of a letter they found. I'm sorry I don't have any other details, but did hear it.
