Incidentally, you didn’t mention the clerk grabbing this girl by the arm and yanking her around. The good old days you are yearning for also allowed paddlings and other corporal punishments, usually unsupervised and often much more than was called for. I can remember being smacked in the back of the head with a text book for goofing off in class; I probably deserved it but I wouldn’t be in favor of bringing that sort of teacher behavior back, would you?

It's funny, I was only cracked one time and looking back I deserved it and the teacher warned me 2-3 times to stop what I was doing. You know what? I never did get in trouble agin.

All the kids that got cracked deserved it. Yes we need paddling back in school instead of time out in a corner.

As for the clerk grabbing this girl by the arm and yanking her around I would like to see what really happened and get the clerks side of the story.

Many young kids today have an arrogant attitude and you know it.

“Many young kids today have an arrogant attitude and you know it.”

I can’t argue with you there. I’d like to know more about the girl’s motivation to wear the shirt. If it reflects her own personal beliefs, more power to her. If she was doing it for her mother, that’s a different matter, although I still believe it is protected speech. The thing is, the left can get away with this sort of thing every day of the week, and if you dare to criticize, you’re being “intolerant”.

Funny thing, getting disciplined in school fifty years ago usually also resulted in a phone call home after the fact and if you had parents who really cared about raising you right, there was probably a second whacking waiting for you when you got there.
