Students may Pose with Guns: Breaking, Water is Wet

A media source in Omaha is breaking a story.   Students can pose with guns for their senior portraits.

The school board members did not think this was a controversial decision, along with 90 percent of the American public.   They voted for it 6-0.   I am surprised that it even came up for a vote.

Perhaps I should not be, in our ever increasingly politically correct public schools, where nearly all initiative and responsibility have been taken from school boards and teachers by teachers unions and federal and state regulations.   Administrators are terrified to make any decision that might run against the policy desires of the old media.

It is a sign of the times that nearly half of the schools in the area have banned such photographs in craven subservience to political pressures.    From omaha.com:

A district official said a check with a number of Nebraska districts found that about half of them allowed such photos.

 It shows how far the "progressives" have dominated the old media that school boards even considered such a ban.

The idea that guns should be forbidden in pictures is emblematic of the culture war.

Water is not wet.

Wetness is the phenomenon of water applied to another surface.

The federal government has no constitutional authority for operating or regulating, not even funding elementary and secondary general education schools.
This meddling, leading eventually to control of even the smallest detail, stems from the creation of a federal Dept. of Education, Pres. Carter’s payoff to the teacher’s labor union (NEA) as demanded in return for the union’s financial support of Carter’s election campaign. From that has flowed the absolute screw-up of education, federal funds and bureaucrats doing what they do best, and it sure as he&*(%#@ isn’t educating children and youth.

My DIL took my grandson’s pictures and he had a gun in most of them.

BTW, he did well at the National Sporting Clay competition today in San Antonio, TX.
