Just pushing back. If he doesn’t think 18 year olds are mature enough to have and use firearms to kill (not just hunt), then how can he make a case for them in the military as troops?
And someone hopped on me for daring to question a 19 year old in school with minors (as young as 14).
He was held back twice. He could’ve made up time with summer school. When he reached adulthood, he should’ve been out on his own. Let him take night school if he wants or work on his GED from home.
I lead a Trail Life USA boys outdoor adventure unit. They day a boy turns 18, he’s done. Ages out.
We’ve invited a couple to join as adult leaders due to their skills and what they can teach the younger boys. Others we’ve given a hearty handshake goodbye.
The 18 year olds are treated as adults and they have to act as adults. They have certain responsibilities and requirements.
They are under a completely different legal status at that point than they were a couple days earlier.
It is what it is. Due to the way birthdays fall, an 18 year old may still be in high school. (I was)
However, beyond that, GED time. 19 and 20 year olds have no business in schools.
