And that was a long time ago now! I shudder to imagine schools at present. Whatever semblance of America that remained when I was there is probably by the wayside. I here they segregate kids that AREN'T allergic to peanut butter in the lunchrooms now, if they allow it at all.
I looked up my old elementary school which is now a k-12 (the queer is one of the few teachers still there), they have some subject called "Individual & Societies", WTF is that? Social Studies? "Social studies" itself was already a bastard term that I'm guessing probably wasn't used much in your day, Bendy. Wikipedia says it was coined in the early 20th but I remember my mom saying they never used it when she was in school. And now "Individual & Societies". 🤮 Not to mention nine "Diverse Learner Teachers" (whut? is this a ghost payroll scam?) and sixteen special ed assistants, in my day there was one special ed class, in the basement.
For "English Language Learner Support" they've got one dude, one. Eight "diversity" specialists and one dude to help kids learn English.
Indeed. “God” - not only prayer...the seeds of this were planted at turn of the century with Darwinism and Scopes/Monkey trial.
William Jennings Byran’s testimony...
The play, “Inherit the Wind.”
Cover the moment in our history...
Nope. He’s holding His hand out. Just gotta take it.
Because we had fathers that would beat the sh*t out of us if we pulled some of the stunts today’s yutes pull to get attention. It wasn’t called tough love back then. But correction was tough on our physical behinds and mental attitudes.
Girls and boys were treated/punished differently depending on the circumstances and the severity of the offence. There was no equality - boys were boys and girls were girls. As a minor, I never knew transexual persons existed.
Until one legally became an adult, mom and dad ruled the roost. That’s just the way it was back then. While you were a minor, they legally owned you and controlled your life. It was their responsibility to prepare you to enter society and be able to survive as a responsible adult. There were exceptions of course, but maintaining the family unit was essential to raising “good” kids. Even back then the prisons (adult and juvenile) were mostly composed of people from broken homes or mentally retarded people.
Today’s yutes have privileges and rights we didn’t have until we reached adulthood. And government intervention was minimal compared to today when parents have no rights in family matters. Yes, there was child abuse or a breakdown in the family caused by alcohol or drugs or something else, but kids could pursue other avenues (churches, grandparents, neighbors, friends, etc.) to find relief from these situations.
Sadly, today’s yutes are being raised by a village of idiots who have replaced common sense, religion, and the family unit. They have destroyed the culture, language, and border security we once enjoyed in our nation. Pray that GOD will bless our nation and remember where two or more are gathered in his name, He is there.
When I was young we could not watch TV without permission and it was typically a family event. The 3 Stooges were not allowed because it was violent. Now, if the TV is your babysitter, your child will have seen and heard thousands of gunshots and hundreds of murders before their first day of kindergarten.
When I was a kid this was a free country. I’m 61.
There were no birth control pills in 1960.
The guy came to town and spent a couple of days going around interviewing residents, business owners and the local sheriff. After that, he made a very simple observation and recommendation:
"This all began when the town was wired for cable. Just tell your business establishments never to have the TVs set on news stations when they are open for business."
Not if feminists can help it.
“FEMINISM drove mom’s OUT of the house, but worse, it also DROVE THE FATHER’S OUT OF THE HOUSE PERMANENTLY.”
This.
One thing that drove many African American men out of
the house was the rise of the welfare state.
This was all planned by the folks at the Frankfurt school almost 100 years ago.
They have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
I went to a rural community high school in Northern
California in the late 60s. Plenty of guys brought rifles
or shotguns to school in their cars or pickups. The plan
was to get some hunting in either before or after classes.
There was also no shortage of fist fights but nobody ever
thought of using their firearms in lieu of their fists. I
assume that was pretty much the case across the US.
Ten years after I graduated the shop teacher who was
my agriculture teacher dad’s pheasant hunting partner
taught school classes in gun bluing, gun stock
refurbishing, crossbow building and knife/dagger making.
Many of the projects came out pretty good and nobody
tried out their handiwork on others, not at school,
anyway.
Yep, things have changed.
Social media.
Add to that - that death is paraded on the internet and people have become numb to it. For example, the popular YouTube guy showing the body hanging from a tree.
When did it become okay to flood the world with images of dead or dying people?
ABORTION!! And CELEBRATING ABORTION!! Our Govt. kicked out Fathers and gave more money to women having babies out of wedlock....VIOLENCE in MOVIES....Feminism.....DIVORCE.....and #1...KICKING GOD and especially His SON, JESUS, out of this country!
Teachers do not drug students. They aren’t even allowed to suggest it to parents. It’s against the law.
There was trash all over the side’of the roads and the rivers had bottles and trash 8n them, and now they dont. That is what I tell m6 k8ds is the one thing I can think of that is better now.
Psychotropic drugs.
My son too. My point is that it's no surprise that one in a million act it out.
