I remember as late as 91-92 when I was in HS... You must be an old soul. I would never have guessed that you were that young.

Public school is child abuse. Agreed. It's why my kids are home schooled.

When I grew up gun racks in the pickup were for guns. We carried them all the time. We even traded guns in school. Never thought a thing of it. Even bought and sold from teachers as late as 1985. We hunted after school before we even went home. The world has changed beyond my ability to absorb it these last 15 years.
In 1966 at Northeast Louisiana University we could have our weapons on campus. We were not allowed to keep them in our rooms. The dorm mother Mrs. Carpenter had a closet in her quarters for our weapons. We would check them out from her to go hunting or shooting, We would then take them to our rooms and clean them and return them to Mrs. Carpenter.
Times have definitely changed and not for the good.

Libs, from their standpoint, should encourage home schooling, with the requirement that the location be marked.
That way, they could claim the 1,000’ or half mile or whatever that idiot ‘school exclusion zone’ is, and apples; then draw circles all over the map, making it impossible to legally have a concealed weapon, or a weapon in a vehicle, almost everywhere.
Sure, it would cost union jobs, but they could just think of it as taking one for the team...or find new ways to featherbed.
Shouldn’t give them ideas, but I can’t help myself sometimes.

And some friends and even my wife wonders why I paint *educators* with such a broad brush.
Lazy little tin gods and losers who couldn't make it in the real world, for the most part, so they stay in school for life.

Take vitamin B-1 twice a day, every day, and the nightmares will stop. Guaranteed. You can also take a glass of water with calcium-magnesium mix in it, which calms the nerves considerably.
Seriously, bud. You've got a frightening imagination! LOL

Yeah but Louisiana is a third world country isn’t it? Things have always been different there. Boys can’t breathe without something to kill an aminal or a hook or something.
I can’t believe y’all had a limit on frogs and couldn’t use a gig that would break the skin? If I’m going frog huntin’ it’ll be with a lethal weapon. There’s a lot more than frogs out in the water at night.

So why isn’t the school’s administration being suspended without pay because it allowed a toy gun being in the drama room’s prop closet?

I can tell you (as a former middle school teacher who chaperoned school dances) that students not allowed to attend knew they were not allowed well in advance of the dance. This boy should have gotten his his parent(s) to come in and complain. There is nothing that reduces a principal to a backtracking lump better than upset parents.

Center, Texas - The county seat of Shelby County.
My mom was born in Timpson, Texas (also in Shelby County), so we spent a good bit of time in that area visiting with relatives.
Every time we drove up there and was entering the area, my mom would call out:
"Teneha, Timpson, Bobo and Blair".
"If you ain't been here you ain't been no where."
Tex Ritter (father of Three's Company star 'John Ritter') wrote a song containing the names of those four small towns.
His song was based on the railroad stop calls of the HE&WT (Houston, East and West Texas Railroad) where the porter would proudly call out the names just like that.
According to the following source, during WWI, members of the National Guard Unit composed by men from Shelby County discarded the marching cadence of 'hup, two, three, four' for 'Teneha, Timpson, Bobo and Blair'.
Source: TexasScapes.com
To this day - just as mom told me, there is a sign outside of the area that reads:
'Teneha, Timpson, Bobo and Blair - If you ain't been here, you ain't been nowhere.'
It's a beautiful area.

I love that ad showing the Remington Model 34.
My father had one, which he ended up gaving to me.
It has since been ‘borrowed’ by my daughter when she was about 23 or 24.

Public school is child abuse.
Homeschooling all of mine for that very reason.
I grew up with guns. By the time I was 12 yrs old, I had a Remington .22 auto w/ 15 round capacity, Remington .22 bolt action, Remington 16ga, and a browning 12ga.
We used to have neighborhood hunts. All the kids up my street would all go dove or squirrel hunting together. It's strange how times have changed.

--
The adult that t brought the gun into the prop dept ought to be fired using the same idiotic logic. --
That's too easy to escape, using burden of proof, etc. Instead, fire all of the drama teachers, because they all had control of the prop room, and therefore had constructive possession of the prop.
