Not “insanity”...

Insidious and clever. Pavolov in action.

Demonize ANYTHING to do with guns, and you automatically create the negative impression in a child’s mind, and instill a fear of punishment.

Think about it - Our children are being manipulated by psychopaths with an institutionalized political agenda...

More social engineering

And conditioning. Make sure the little skulls full of mush NEVER question authority. They are indoctrinated the second they attend public schools.

Glad I don't have children.

Someone needs to buy several thousand of these trinkets, and disperse them where all the kids will find them. It’d be pretty hard for the nannys to suspend the whole school.

Surpised they didn’t put the school and all surrounding schools on lockdown, call in the SWAT team and sweep the entire area.

Just to be “safe”

By this schools actions, and many others, the NEA is admitting that they are hoping to indoctrinate students to fear guns, or any mention of guns. Some of the school officials have admitted that they want to “create an attitude where students would never want to use a gun.”

Now, ask yourself why these same schools and the NEA in general DEMAND that they teach sex to younger and younger students. Right now, I believe that they are demanding the addition of sex ed, to include same sex, to kindergardeners!

Is their actions regarding guns not an admission that the opposit is true with regards to the sexualisation of children? When I mix the 2 scenarios, it looks to me like the education system is filled with pedophile perverts!

(FReepers excluded of course.)

There is a lot of talk about what the Founding Fathers would say about how American culture has changed if they could see it now. I am convinced that crap like this would disgust and outrage and revolt them WAY more than any other sign of cultural degradation they would come across. This is the kind of stuff that would leave many of them wondering if they really did go through all they did for absolutely nothing.

Pretty sure I took it to school

I and several dozen of my schoolmates took shotguns to school during quail, dove, pheasant and waterfowl seasons.

So much for the way things were and ought to be.

We had that happen in a situation in the stupid little town I now call home where a Jr. High kid was carrying a burrito to school.

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 wonder how the term “replica” is defined.

If I were to shoot someone for brandishing a two inch keychain ‘gun’, then I would probably be charged with murder. Any claim of self defense on my part would be torn apart by a prosecutor.

The claim that a keychain, or an obvious toy is some kind of violation of a weapons policy needs to be put in the same context. Otherwise, any object: a sandwich, an odd shaped piece of plastic, even a potato, could be interpreted as being a replica gun.

This isn’t about safety or stopping violence. It’’s thought control, and it’s about changing our culture.
