Millennial videographer: “This was a public school, right? Unbelievable, when a school would teach you to shoot guns.”
We said the Pledge of Allegiance (”...and to the republic for which it stands...”) every morning.
We had to accomplish difficult tasks in gym class, and afterwards, shower naked as a group.
We wrote in longhand and did algebra with pencil and paper. We also had shop and home economics classes.
We had to memorize multiplication tables and the state capitals.
And when we misbehaved, we were disciplined at school, and again that evening by Dad.
I think we’ve become largely a nation of fatherless weaklings.
We’re not just a nation of fatherless weaklings but a nation living under the tyranny of the Karens.
My Christian summer camp had a .22 range. I spent most of my time there when not making sand candles or plastic lacing keychains (late ‘70’s). ;-)
That and my .308, miss the sad we could do things without Nanny State intervening at every turn.
Sad/days. Autocorrect is NOT my friend.
So did my high school, Southwest High School, in Kansas City, MO.
I was on the JROTC rifle team, and would shoot several times a week, going through a box of W/W T-22 ammo (thank you US Army) through a very nice Remington 40X single shot .22 rifle, on a 50’ range.

I was the captain of my team.

One year in high school, my friend and I were going Deer hunting after school. Our guns were in my truck on the gun rack. Today, if someone did that the school would be in lockdown and the student would be arrested.
Same here. Sidney Lanier High School, Montgomery AL. Rifle Team member circa 1957 ten years before desegregation. In 2004 the school had only six white students according to Wikipedia.
I left after eleventh grade because of a military transfer of my Father. Wasn’t excited about the move, due to Jr. ROTC and Rifle Team membership, but other doors opened where those closed.
“We’re not just a nation of fatherless weaklings but a nation living under the tyranny of the Karens.”
Our fatherless weaklings are because of Karens, and men giving in to them, for over a century.
Other older societies knew the danger. We ignored their lessons and Bible lessons, and our society is now suffering the bitter results.
