... The effectiveness of these poised, articulate, well-informed, and seemingly preternaturally mature student leaders of Stoneman Douglas has been vaguely attributed to very specific personalities and talents. Indeed, their words and actions have been so staggeringly powerful, they ended up fueling laughable claims about crisis actors, coaching, and fat checks from George Soros. But there is a more fundamental lesson to be learned in the events of this tragedy: These kids aren’t freaks of nature. Their eloquence and poise also represent the absolute vindication of the extracurricular education they receive at Marjory Stoneman Douglas.
The students of Stoneman Douglas have been the beneficiaries of the kind of 1950s-style public education that has all but vanished in America. ...

A handful of high school kids are not able to organized a DC march and dozens of others around the country. The anti-gun people where ready to roll this out when the right moment arrived. These kids were just in the right place at the right time to become famous.
Not education, just indoctrination.
NEA in 1941 bought (from 4H) and published The American Citizens Handbook. It was full of quotes from the Bible, Magna Carta, Constitution, Founders, patriotic writings, poetry and songs, etc.
They killed it in 1669 and sent the remaining 10,000 or so copies to a NY landfill. No pubic school teacher would dare read aloud from it today.
As for PTA, they have high teacher membership. A PTA that seriously goes against an NEA position will lose the teachers’ dues and participation. A teacher clued me in on that many years ago, when our PTA took issue with ‘gay is OK’ posters in the school.
They killed it in 1969...
"...these poised, articulate, well-informed, and seemingly preternaturally mature student leaders of Stoneman Douglas has been vaguely attributed to very specific personalities and talents..."
Poised.
Articulate.
Well-informed.
Preternaturally mature.
In a video from late March 2018:
“What type of s***ty person does that?” Hogg continued. “They could have blood from children splattered all over their faces and they wouldn’t take action, because they all still see these dollar signs.” (Poised, articulate, well informed, and "preternaturally mature"? Sounds like angry, profane, ill informed and immature.)
Hogg said he is going to make sure that “those f***ers aren’t getting reelected.” (Profanity is a common crutch to the ill informed and emotionally unstable)
Hogg said he does not want more school security because “We’re going to create a system where we widen the school-to-prison pipeline.” (Hmm. "School-to-prison pipeline"..."School-to-prison pipeline"...where have I heard that before? That must be the well-informed part of him.)
Hogg said it is his job to fix America because “our parents don’t know how to use a f***ing democracy, so we have to.” (This is likely also the "well-informed" and mature part of him. Doesn't know we aren't a democracy, but to him, it is a special kind of "democracy". How he manages to use the "F" word so liberally and come across as so mature is a real accomplishment.)
Trained = Brainwashed and now Activated.
“It was a kid from the same school that shot it up.”
There you go Noticing again.
How can he be too old?
The writer’s praise of those youts is much like a Vegas prostitute’s praise of high school sluts.
The Hitler Youth was the youth organisation of the Nazi Party in Germany. Its origins dated back to 1922 and it received the name Hitler-Jugend, Bund deutscher Arbeiterjugend (”Hitler Youth, League of German Worker Youth”) in July 1926. From 1933 until 1945, it was the sole official youth organisation in Germany

As for that old guy remembering . . . maybe he was seeing into the future and smelling a Hogg!
Their little juvenocracy is growing too fast for it’s own good.
That is an apt analogy...!!!
One can pretty much guarantee that at least three of those useful idiots are going to try to trade on this for the rest of their lives.
One will probably succeed to a degree (Hogg) and he will find out the limits of that kind of cachet.
This whole thing is just another obstacle in making America great again. David ought to cool his jets and try to find him some “you know what”. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt as to what his preference is. I suppose they’re “sexperts” at that age too, and getting them to talk about sex and their sex lives would be a good way shut them up.
Who is this author kidding? David Hogg has been turned into a foul-mouthed demagogue by his handlers.
Looks like Phil Silvers in drag. Her schtick isn’t funny though. Get that bum off the stage.
Hahahahahahahaha! One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies!!!!
Made me laugh...thanks!
