The assault on children continues...
Teach the children early that the all powerful state has control over every aspect of their lives. That way tyranny will be easier for them to accept when they are adults. If you don't go along, their life can be made miserable.
Unfortunately, I believe youre right on the mark with this observation. Instead of punishing the criminal, the people in the power positions just blindly follow their orders & punish EVERYBODY.
Sadly, some of these kids will someday be our politicos and leos and skewl admin types.
