1967-I went duck hunting one morning with my cousin. We quit about 10 and he dropped me at my high school so I'd only miss half a day. I walked in the main door with my hunting coat, two mallards and a shotgun in a case. The assistant principal found me walking down the hall, told me to put the stuff away, get to class and stop skipping school!

I did, I did and I didn't.

I remember this email. So true.

I went to HS in Texas. I now live in CA. My stepson graduated in 2004. They would not let him read ahead if he finished his work early.

In elementary school they did the whole condom on the banana thing.

He got assaulted by a black student in 7th grade. Stepson was suspended. The black student was expelled, joined a gang. We heard he got shot about 3 years ago, but survived.

Other stories, too. Never again would I advise anyone to send their kids to public school.

Very humorous. A great satire on the “progress” we’ve seen in the last 42 years.

1967 - Black students and white students socialize exclusively with members of their own race but sports, band, shared classes and small talk at lunchtime (which everyone eats together at the same time in the cafeteria) assist both groups in ignoring, even forgetting their differences and learning to know and respect each other with many friendships formed along the way

2007 - All students are subjected to diversity training from the first day of school onward. Historical figures such as MLK, Malcom X and Harriet Tubman are studied at length while little or no mention is made of Napoleon, Montezuma, Magellan, Hitler, Stalin, Drake, Washington or Nimitz. Despite zero requests from any quarter a separate black graduation ceremony is established. Black students are encouraged to attend Historically Black Colleges & Universities where they are then encouraged to major in African American studies. After graduating from college and finding precious few employers seeking such degrees they accuse businesses seeking accounting, finance and engineering degrees of practicing institutional racism.

1967 - Johnny draws a picture of a gun. Teacher looks and says "You forgot the hammer."

2007 - Johnny draws a picture of a gun. Teacher sends Johnny to the Dean, the parents are called in, Johnny gets a day of in-school suspension and misses a test, and the family is now under investigation by Social Services.

Every one of the examples involves a boy. I am not surprised.

The modern, Marxist dominated indoctrination camp ( misnamed government “school”) is dedicated to emasculating our little boys. Any parent that would send a son into one of these boy-destroying institutions is brain dead or likely a product of the same institutions.

True story in my town:

High School teacher brings Johnson rifle that he carried on Iwo Jima when he was awarded Medal of Honor to school and modestly tells story of his heroism. Many students are positively influenced by this man.

I hate to think what would happen today.

1967 - Six year old David kisses a girl on the playground because he thinks she is pretty. Girl yells “YUCK!” and runs away. Teachers ignore it. Everyone forgets it within a few hours.

2007 - Six year old David kisses a girl on the playground because he thinks she is pretty. Girl yells “YUCK!” and runs away. Teacher hears of it and calls the police. School and police force David into sexual harassment classes and he is listed as a “sexual predator”. Government passes laws that make records of “sexual predators” permanent and it follows him into adulthood. David cannot get an education and ends up working as a convenience store attendant. Girl is now a labeled as a “victim of sexual harassment”. She goes through counseling to reinforce this belief. She ends up at a university taking “women’s studies” and becomes bitter at the world over the unfairness. She is convinced she is a lesbian but never feels right about it so she turns to drugs and alcohol. She ends up dead from an OD on booze and pain killers at 25.

In 10th grade Speech class, I used my father’s Model 1911 .45 pistol as a visual aid.

I remember about 1971 or so in high school some guys would bring their shotguns to school put them in their locker and leave a couple hours early to go deer hunting. All you needed was a note from your parents. All this happened in South Jersey! SWAT and counselors were not needed.

Gotta get rid of school psychologists; social workers; counsellors; school resource officers; wimpy, namby pamby school officials who can’t make a rational decision regarding their students and have to dial 911, hysterical women teachers who are afraid of boys — the list goes on forever.

The good thing about this economic downturn is maybe they’ll all be fired. If that happens, perhaps the public will realize they’re better off without them.

Good article!

Your first example of 1978/2007 rang my bell as almost the same thing actually happened to me, only it was in 1957.

A high school junior, I was invited to go bird hunting (dove season) after school on a friends family farm. Several other students as well as one of the teachers had also been invited.

I did not have a car, so during the lunch break I went to the high school principal’s office and asked him if I could borrow his car to go home and get my shotgun and shells, and store them in the trunk of his car until school was out.

He said ok, and handed me his keys. The only comment he made was, “Don’t forget to return my keys after school. I don’t have another set.”
