An elementary school in Hayward, Calif. will sponsor a toy gun trade-in, encouraging kids to swap their harmless toy weapons for a chance to win a new bicycle.
The purpose of the trade-in is to stop children from playing with toy guns, which may make them more likely to commit violence with real guns, said Strobridge Elementary principal Chris Hill.
Playing with toys guns, saying Im going to shoot you, desensitizes them, so as they get older, its easier for them to use a real gun, Hill said in a statement to Mercury News.
The trade-in will take place on Saturday during the schools Safety Day, which will also feature talks on safety tips from police officers and firefighters. Authorities will offer to take pictures and fingerprints of children to be used to help locate them in case they go missing.
Any child who hands over his toy gun will receive a raffle ticket. The school will raffle off four bicycles, and also hand out books in exchange for the tickets.
School photographer Horace Gibson came up with the idea for the trade-in after expressing concerns about gun violence and school shootings, Hill said....

Exactly. I posted #35 without seeing yours first. A generation or three of mentally disarmed victims is easy prey. What thug wants to meet armed resistance?

Likely a thoroughly “demoralized” product of our nation’s Marxist controlled K-12 schools and colleges.
(Please see my tag line.)
No, they are not idiots.
This is all part of the carefully planned communist demoralization of our nation's youth. And...It will not matter in the end whether or not the children of individual Freepers were “deprogramed” or homeschooled, or attended private school, etc. The ocean of demoralized kids ( like zoombies) will overwhelm the voting booths.
It is communist thugs that our nation’s children will face and be completely defenseless, spiritually, emotionally, and educationally.
Not legal here as of January...
This country has become Maoist China of the 70s, for crying out loud.
I want my country back!
When will Dear Leader issue an instruction book for kids to carry around? Or is there already an app on the smart phones?
Read the article. Your name goes in a hat for a drawing. PERIOD.
1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
The simple are unwilling or unable to act as adults and process information responsibly, falsely believing that there is virtue in (and a free pass for) intentional naivete.
No wonder their handlers will dispatch them in a heartbeat. Who respects the unprincipled?
Just as Yuri the Prophet warned. They will be the first lined up against a wall and shot.
I just ran across an old child’s book that I gave my son when he was young. “Cows with Guns”.

My older boy became quite well versed in the area of small arms. As a 20-year-old, he knew far more about them than many of his superiors. As a budding mechanical engineer, he appreciated the mechanisms as well as the history behind them. The younger son is a machinist and enthusiast as well.
Both these kids were taught to handle weapons with respect and they were allowed to practice under supervised conditions. No biggie. And they did play with toy guns.
Go to 99cent store—buy a cheap plastic gun—get a free bike!
These particular thugs pass out candy (sweet-sounding lies) to the children.
Instead of warning their children about the tactics of these predators and teaching the skills to identify and repel the pervs, parents and society at large deliver children to voracious edu-beasts on a silver platter.
It’s the wholesale slaughter of children’s spirits and the torching of their innate desire for freedom. IOW, spiritual/metaphorical sacrifices to Moloch.
Perhaps the inability of scholars to pin down exactly what were those sacrifices to Moloch, is caused by their looking for evidence of a literal-physical system, when the fires were set in the children’s minds and souls. Just pondering out loud...
More silly, brainless, Liberal horse sh*t.
In California.
What a shocker.
Did he really die in a [one] car accident? Suspicious enough on its own. Or, did he make himself disappear - perhaps in the Philippines - as he did in India with the hippies?
Instead of this bullcrap, the school should be teaching the kids about earthquake safety and civil defense. Hayward, California sits on top of an earthquake fault that is overdue for a large shaker.
Of course, preparedness instruction would interrupt the libtard indoctrination of these tiny tots. God forbid the kids should become preppers.
hm?
Interesting. I know nothing of his death.
WRONG!
It isn't silly and it isn't brainless.
It is all part of the carefully crafted Marxist plan for “demoralization” of the next generation of citizens.
If you don't know about demoralization, please check the Yuri Besmenov Youtube videos on communist demoralization of our nation.
Demoralization. Destabilization. Crisis. Normalcy. (Please see my tag line.)
