Exactly my thoughts on the neutering of boys.

Wait until a gay couple’s son does the same thing, haa!

No matter how stupid, no matter how absurd the incident, some most parents will continue to send their children to public schools.

That includes conservative parents.

Not pointing any fingers....

When I was a child we played Army and Cowboys and Indians in school and yelled pow, bang and boom and it was considered NORMAL behavior.

I was the Indian, hiding in the weeds quietly talking into my fist and calling in and adjusting an imaginary artillery fire mission on you cowboys.

Shutting down these government schools would do society a much greater favor.

Yep. While saving us trillions of dollars.

I wish it named the elementary school. Does it surprise you in the least?

“Their permanent records must be a lot more comprehensive than mine”.

Oh, they are. There are two school records, by the way. The main one and the “secret” one. Seriously. One is for the viewing if requested by parents and there is always a second one that includes lists of infractions etc... My one girlfriend requested both when her daughter got into trouble. They were ticked that she knew about the other one (she has a friend in the school system).

On another note, there is now a Montgomery County “grading system” for behaviors. When a child misbehaves, it is referred to as “Anarchy” and they are given a punishment/calmed down to level D (Demure). How would I know this? Well, lil’ Miss 6 year old got into trouble for pushing a girl when the girl called her “stupid, dumb” and refused to let her into the computer lab. The girl was not injured, didn’t fall.. the “bad” behavior = the pushing. I get a call from her teacher that said she was at the “Anarchy level” but is now “Demure”. Anarchy? I asked, “Is she throwing molotov cocktails? Is she overturning cars in the lot? Is the school currently on fire”. The teacher said, “I don’t make up the grading system... I know it is out there”. Crazy, ain’t it?!

These kids better watch out. Next thing we know, their hands will be tattooed with serial numbers. Or trigger locks will be mandatory. If muzzies run the schools, there will be confiscation.

Where is the mens rea, the guilty mind? It is well past time for some legal eagle to put an end to this abuse of children by idiots in a position of authority.

Liberals go crazy when anyone THINKS of a gun. They don’t care about who gets killed or not. They are passionate about controlling peoples’ thoughts! Thinking about a gun is the worse evil in the world!

“Is she throwing molotov cocktails? Is she overturning cars in the lot? Is the school currently on fire”.

See, there's a bunch of questions my parents wouldn't have wanted to ask for fear of the answers.

I went by the rule "accuse me, and I'll do it". May as well be hanged for a goat as a sheep.

I'm sure that genetic trait still exists in the wild.

“... there’s a bunch of questions my parents wouldn’t have wanted to as for fear of the answers”.

LOL!! She is actually a very well behaved girl and I am sorry to say we didn’t really lower the boom on this one. Not that we let our kids run wild but after the whole “anarchy” thing... I was so ticked at the stupidity of the school system that the pushing incident got only a “next time.. walk around the little brat”. (fortunately, she is the type of kid that gets upset if Mommy or Daddy is disappointed in her behavior).

I’m shocked it took this long for the ridiculous over reactions to begin.

More to follow, I’m sure.

My wife's a teacher-

Here in Plano TX schools there was a fight (two girls) a few days back in a school, not a really big deal actually. But the kids were handcuffed and taken off.

Yeah, the stupid meter will now peg out.

Then he'd be suspended for racism.

Teachers sure are dumb. Maybe that’s why the kids are too.
