This Santa Cruz resident is a product of public schools.
I remember when kids brought guns to school for show and tell. The first I ever saw in school (1956)was in Farmington NM at McCormick school south of the Animas River. A kid had a military muzzle loading pistol to show the class.
Later years, when you saw a kid with a gun or large knife in school you knew they were in leathercraft class and making a holster for it.
At that time, all the boys had folding knives and at lunch would set around and whet the blade on a stone.
That was before the effeminization of American boys began.
Ms. Hawthorne I fear you just may have given the lunatics in your area an idea.
How these people can be so naïve and illogical is beyond my understanding.
We never had a problem in schools until liberals said so.
Throw in “fiscal cliff” and “kick the can down the road” and I’m in.
The blood of the Sandy Hook massacre victims stains the Santa Cruz City Schools board members and all those who seek to criminalize self defense.
Yeah, and after getting the point good and sharp it was off to the nearest patch of grass for Mumbley Peg!! (Not sure if that is the correct spelling). Now that was a fun before elementary school, during lunch time, and after school pocket knife game huh? Closest to your own foot was the winner and accidentally stickin your own foot was an automatic ‘right now’ winner! (That is how we played it anyway). If ya saw a classmate limpin’ along with some ‘red on the Keds’ you knew he had won at least one game that day!! And if there was a ‘who’s knife is closest’ argument, we called over the teacher who was on outside duty to declare the winner! Sure was different then...
Without criminals and crazies Santa Cruz would go bankrupt. The bulk of the city’s budget consists of teachers, shrinks, bureaucrats and their dependent clientele. Without State and Federal funding to serve them the cash flow would stop cold.
“It would make me nervous to have someone with a gun on campus,” Cooley said. “It would be scary for the children.”
The idiocy of the ‘educated’ never ceases to amaze. What way, other than armed response, might readily stop an armed attack?
Children are the future of this nation. We are kidding ourselves to believe ‘gun-free’ zones contribute to their safety and protection. Gun-free zones embolden the nutjobs because they do not expect armed confrontation and response.
LOL, you should have warned me.
That’s an Obama voter, dontcha know?
