SAN FRANCISCO — Tim Bueler started the Conservative Club (search) to balance what he calls the liberal bias in his public school, but when some schoolmates found his views offensive and threatened to beat him up, the 17-year-old claims the principal and teachers turned the other way.
Bueler started the club at Rancho Cotati High School (search), about an hour north of San Francisco, to draw support for the war in Iraq, among other issues. About 50 teenagers now attend club meetings.
But a recent issue of the club newsletter, Conservative Agenda, has riled some students -- and teachers -- who claim Bueler is nothing but a young Nazi (search).
In the newsletter, Bueler calls for a crackdown on "every Muhammad, Jamul and Jose who wishes to leave his third world state to come to America, mostly illegally."
One teacher posted a flier encouraging students to "take a stand against the neo-conservative wing nuts who call themselves Americans." The principal suggested that Bueler go home for a "cooling off" period.
Bueler defended his inflammatory rhetoric, saying: "We feel that liberalism is a mental disorder and they attack family, faith and country and military. And these are bullies we're dealing with and we need to fight against them and this is why we've come out so strong."
The school district has launched an investigation and promises to take disciplinary action against the teachers, administration or students if warranted.

I caught A "blog" on this but did not see the sound byte. I do not understand 
maybe that is what it means to be an independent. One NEVER understands where the right and the left are coming from?
