Utah schools seeing fear, frustration and absent students after Election Day
Salt Lake Tribune ^ | Nov 09, 2016; 11:01 pm | BENJAMIN WOOD

Before she left for work on Wednesday, Riley Elementary School teacher Christi Paulson said she had a bad feeling about how her students would be responding to President-elect Donald Trump.

The school is located on Salt Lake City's diverse west side and home to many languages, ethnicities and countries of origin.

"They're really worried about the [border] wall," Paulson said, referring to one of Trump's signature campaign pledges, "and about friends and parents and people getting sent away."

In her second-grade classroom, Paulson has two cups on a counter that feature a smiling, winking face with big thumbs up and a sad face with eyes on the cusp of tears.

Each day students place a stick labeled with their name in one of the two cups, which allows Paulson to check in privately with students who are distressed.

You gotta be kidding me. Does this writer even know about what's in and around the environs of DC? I've been to parts of DC-adjacent Virginia that would make you think you were in Delhi, India.....farther east, nowhere you'd want to drive through at night.

It shows the evil control over the minds of our children by Billy Aires, Van Jones types......who have written curricula and controlled the “publishing” agencies and “top 10” lists for a century.

Those who control Words/Language control the beliefs and desires of the masses. We NEED to take BACK the narrative (TRUTH (GOD)).

We NEED to get rid of all the liberal liars who control the minds of the children and all their textbooks and “testing” so they can target their belief systems to make them irrational and ignorant (incapable of Reason). These children are being raised to be useful idiots only (ALL STATE CONTROLLED SCHOOLS CREATE SLAVES OF THE STATE (Socrates). The only reason for “education” is to TEACH VIRTUE (Socrates). Without Virtue, there is no Wisdom, Justice, Courage, Temperance-—necessary for a FREE REPUBLIC!!!!!

That is why in the 60s our evil SCOTUS banned Christianity—the transmission of our Traditions and Worldview is banned as they promote Satanism, paganism, Mother Earth Worship, ignorance, etc. Only Christian Worldview created the Age of Reason, the Mind of Newton and Tesla and the Wright Bros.

Now, the children are taught lies and misinformation-—macro-evolution, paganism and satanism and Marxism (sodomy/baby-killing/”gender” theory to destroy the Natural Family (Reason/Common Sense)/Biological connection).

Not me. Couldn’t have cared less about politics at that age.

When Kennedy was assassinated, (2nd grade for me) they sent us all home for the day. I was happy about getting the school day off.

Got yelled at when I got home for being happy when the president had been shot. Well, I wasn’t happy that someone got shot but that school was canceled. I knew it didn’t affect me any and there was nothing I could do about it. But I knew better than to argue with my parents so pretended to be sad.

I was all of 6 or 7. What did I know?

I was waiting for one of the Salt Lake City Hispanic “community leaders” (Tony) to chime in on this crisis. But then I remembered he’s facing rape charges.

I’d laugh, but...

Proverbs 24:17-18
Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
Or the LORD will see it and be displeased, And turn His anger away from him.

Too Trumpin bad! Their parents are criminals, here illegally.PACK UP, kiddies. You’re goin’ OUT and the wall is goin UP! This is their first lesson in law and order. They should go home and fix their cesspool homelands. Born here? Again- to illegal parents, who can leave their ‘citizen’ kids here in foster homes, or take them back to the motherland. I’m DONE. No pity. I’d make the Trump they fear look like the Good Fairy.

They are doing classwork at school regarding the election.

“How do you feeeeeel” essays and the like.

I believe this is so they can reveal the chick with the black dot on the head, for the others to peck to death.

NO TAX DOLLARS SHOULD BE SPENT for this BS in our colleges or high schools, on teachers and administrators who cannot control their students. If tax dollars are spent, this lack of resource stewardship should be addressed harshly. (If private institutions want to waste their resources on this, then that’s their stupid business).

HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE! Who is running those places? What are we paying for??

A man told me yesterday he had to explain to his tearful little daughter why bad people had prevented a woman from becoming president. I had to refrain from asking why he would want a lying, power and money driven criminal being a role model for his daughter.

I didn't know the Millenial generation is this psychologically bad....

With the public schooling indoctrination/programming being ever-worse, both in content and degree, it's actually pretty unsurprising to me.
What is surprising is the pushback against those who have taken to the programming like fish to water, the social justice warriors, as it shows a rejection of that programming. (Or at least a partial rejection.)

In any case, I think they ought to be treated with the pity that's normally reserved for abused children… let's face it, they were abused as children, under the auspices of the government and even us (though against our will, at times). Jesus had something to say about the sorts of people who'd do that to children:
But whoever causes the downfall of one of these little ones who believe in Me--it would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned in the depths of the sea!
(Matt 18:6)

I'm reminded of Matt 18:6.

The sexual revolution of the 60's and the SCOTUS's ban were awfully coincidental — I'm starting to wonder if the pedophile-ring being uncovered w/ Podesta and the elites could have origins stretching back to the 60s.

Count on it. Utah is as gun-toting conservative as can be but the media is as degenerate-liberal as can be (a term I’ve adapted from “degenerate gambler”, somebody who always loses and can’t stop even when they’re about to lose their house). The SL Tribune is a total liberal rag. I hit their message boards and get flamed by the libs that constantly freak out on me. Even mormon-owned KSL is as liberal as can be, I don’t know how they get away with that. KSL must be tax write-off and the mormon church really doesn’t care what they do.

You should’ve seen my workplace yesterday morning. It was like everybody’s team had won the championship and their bets on it paid off 20-to-1.

I took my daughter to the bus stop this morning (I have today off) and it was all good. 20 kids and not one of them was acting any different.
