There used to be an old joke:
In the U.S., everything that is not prohibited is permitted.
In Germany, everything that is not permitted is prohibited.
In Italy, everything is permitted even if it is prohibited.
In the Soviet Union, everything is prohibited even if it is permitted.
It seems the joke is in serious need of updating.
Property tax protest time? don’t fund them.
Three years ago, I helped my son make a life-sized figure of Davy Crockett as part of a 5th grade project.
I thought it would look more realistic if Davy Crockett had a gun.
So I asked the teacher if my son could bring in a very realistic looking full sized Tennesee flintlock to accompany the figure.
The teacher cleared it with the principal. He brought it in and had no trouble at all. In fact, the teacher asked if he could use it as part of a Civil War camp they were having at school the following week.
And this is Connecticut.
School administrators, like the one in the article, do not need to be like this at all.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. ― attributed to Albert Einstein
The Tea Party should begin a national homeschooling movement to get every child out of the public school system.
‘....Its programming, pure and simple, brainwashing, if you will.....”
Yes.
People have got to get out and vote in these school board elections. You have fewer stupid rules if a school board knows they will be tossed next election. Its the only way you get the Gun Control Nutjobs out
Liberals made great efforts to demonize the word "judge" ("Don't judge me!" and "I'm not judgmental", etc), and this is what we get when we can no longer trust authorities with the authority of their position. Truth, common sense, and justice are all sacrificed, because our litigious society has made it easier to hide behind regulations than to be an adult and stand by a decision. (Add in the emasculation of the male of the species by the Left here.)
I live in California, and I don’t know of people being that crazy. Our home hosts nerf gun, water gun, and laser tag paries throughout the summer.
Time to sue the school districts, and every official involved. Enough such suits, and maybe then the crap will stop.
That, and home schooling or taking them to private schools. The less students enrolled, the less funding these assclowns get.
Hit them where it hurts - the wallet.
The ignorance of weapons can have the same harm as Knowing that it is just a gun!
What the educator is missing of course is the education of how and why guns are needed and what their use is! Myself from the age of nine was taught these things! Any parent that owns any weapon be it knife, gun, or any item that can cause bodily harm has to educate their chidern on the cause and effect of any weapon.
To try to make weapons nonexistant in the education of a child is a crime in it’s self. They love to teach SEX!
There is a real world out there!
Of course, I was also on the JROTC rifle team, and we had a 50' range in the school basement, and shot every day after school, a 50 rd box of Winchester T-22, courtesy of the US Army. And the rifles were stored there as well, a combination of Winchester 52 and Remington 40XC single shot target rifles, also owned by the US Army.

I have read various statistics on the number of people that vote in School board elections, not one of them is over 10%. I am not going to hazard a guess as to how many of these parents voted last time but I am pretty sure I can guess how many will be voting next time.
