Six-year-old Derrica Grace has never been to school, but she can discuss Cryptocurrency, explain the history of the Blank Panther movement - and show you how to shoot an Uzi machine gun.
It's all thanks to her father, Derrick Grace II – who has developed his own homeschooling curriculum after making the decision to pull his son out of first grade in 2016.
The father-of-four, from Tampa, Florida, says that he's not a fan of the school system - and believes they 'dilute the mental progression' of children.
However, he has attracted controversy online after posting a series of videos online showing his daughter Derrica and son Derrick Grace III loading guns and reciting facts learned from their homeschool experience.

Universal suffrage is a disaster. I can't speak for the other poster, but I'm not trifling at all in saying that the vote MUST be limited to those with skin in the game.
Let's see... 2018-1918=100. How old are you? :)
Zen? Or Catch-22.
Just off the top of my head.
Colonial America used real property ownership as the qualification for voting. I'm actually very open to discussion on the matter. The 19th and 26th Amendments were steps in the wrong direction, though.

My mother,an immigrant who could never afford property,would not have been able to vote,yet in her lifetime she trudged through many storms to vote.
Why exclude renters?

No form of government is perfect; assuming a Republic no method of qualifying electors will be perfect. Any method will allow some unwise or unvirtuous people to vote, and disallow some wise and virtuous people. I assert (and I think it's self evident) that the current method of qualifying everybody above the age of 18 to vote has been a disaster. The "Gimmedat" vote is almost 50% of the electorate. This must change. We cannot have an expansive (and expensive) cradle-to-grave welfare state AND have universal suffrage. Not if we expect our Republic to last.
We have $20 Trillion in actual Federal debt and $200 Trillion in unfunded liabilities. The crash looms.
I recommend hanging around www.vigilantcitizen.com for a few weeks to get an idea of what I mean.
VC will also enrich your life, it’s not like a worldstar hiphop or anything.
Should have been “it”...DOH! My great great grandfather could have, he would have been 56 then, just about teacher age ;-). He made it to 1969!
Open to discussion, I.e. like in reevaluating it the criteria could be having paid taxes (income, property, etc...) or just not have received a government benefit in the prior election cycle.
Don’t forget the 17th in the suck amendment category.
Black Powder is Really a Hoot!
I know my kids knows how to handle guns...I think I saw him at a gun range...
