You know, I'm really getting tired of kids being punished for being normal kids. But here we go again. First graders at a Maryland elementary school have been suspended for having the audacity to play a good old-fashioned game of cops and robbers.

MOUNT CARMEL, Pa. (AP) — “A 5-year-old Pennsylvania girl who told another girl she was going to shoot her with a pink toy gun that blows soapy bubbles has been suspended from kindergarten.”

“Attorney Robin Ficker says Mount Carmel Area School District officials labeled the girl a “TERRORIST THREAT” for the bubble gun remark,”

The school is keeping this on her permanent records. She was interrogated for half an hour without her parents being present, and she now has to undergo psychiatric evaluation.

They are, pardon the expression, de-balling males. It is the further feminization of our society, to demasculinize the male species. It can only be cured by men standing up for their own kind. Go to it guys, don’t just sit there, do something about it. Get in those school administrators’ faces and nail them to the wall. Hit up the schools, protest, start a letter campaign in the local rags complaining about any instances such as this. Organize. DO SOMETHING!!!

Why don’t these maggots just de-ball them at birth?

Uh oh. I just finished a quilt for my soon-to-be-born great nephew. It has cowboy hats on it. When people see cowboy hats, do they think of guns? He’ll probably grow up to be a serial killer or something.

demasculinize the male species DO SOMETHING!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Conservatives! WAKE UP! The “something” to do is to **immediately** remove your children and work furiously to shut these abominable government run institutions DOWN! Permanently!

The schools are staffed with Teacher Ratcheds dedicated to Feminazidom. They figuratively eat little balls for lunch. Not only is this emotional abuse of little boys harmful for the boys, when little girls witness it, they are set up for a life of maladaptive behavior and sorrow as well!

I am convinced that there no “good” government teachers. A good teacher would **never** seek a job in a school that emotionally abuses boys, nor would they remain long if they did.

Personally....I believe that government run and owned socialist-model, single-payer, compulsory, and GODLESS schools are so abusive to children that I have made a decision. I will not have a government teacher for a friend. They are either too evil, too stupid, or too much of a Useful Idiot to be a friend. ( I wouldn't have an abortion worker for a friends, either.)

Can you imagine what they would have gotten for playing Cowboys and Indians.

As we did in the '50s. It was agreat way to get exercise and we even used our Daisy BB guns as props. Nobody ever shot anyone (our Dads would have made life hell if one of us teed up a BB and let fire at a friend) and we all stayed healthy - in mind and body.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

I don’t even feel sorry anymore for these parents that send their precious children off to be indoctrinated by the big daddy gov’t.

My plans are underway. I've totally had it. Worse than Pennsylvania. Going south.
