I'm assuming this is a joke, right????

And if it isn't, why would anyone allow a child to stay in a school where they would be duct taped to the floor?

Seems like if you don't approve the solution is easy, pull the kids out of school, immediately.

Tell your kid to refuse to allow them to tie him/her up.

If they restrain and do it anyway you have a criminal charge against them.

If they suspend your child for refusing, you can get this in the courts.

Because the head of the CA Dept of Education(or whatever the position is called) is aggressively trying to eliminate home schooling. Private schools may not be an affordable option.

BUMP. I wrote a school board member. Short and sweet, but they need a lot of letters to encourage them to "look into this matter." Good luck and get your child out of that school!!

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Waaaay overdue.
If these little animals are required to be accepted...

It's either that or a cage...

Whatever happened to the concept of education in a quiet and safe environment?

What a concept!

Their is a conservative advocacy group in CA that has helped home schoolers in going to court and has filed lawsuits against public school excesses. Maybe other Freepers can give you the organizations name(Pacific something), but the lawyer whose name I've seen in several of the cases is 'Dacus'.

it was not unsafe

What if there was a fire? How in the world would the child escape?

I think there may be a legal precedent regarding this type of "sensitivity" training. A teacher in Iowa conducted an "experiment" in her classroom called "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes," or something like that. It's been made into a movie that I saw in some stupid Sociology class. The kids were divided up by eye color, and then "rules" made for their treatment during the school day. The kids with blue eyes were not allowed to eat, talk in class, go out to recess, and other foolish stuff. They filmed the whole thing. The teacher let mob mentality take over the classroom and by the end of the "experiment," kids were crying & it was a total mess. The whole point was to teach kids how it feels to be a victim of "racism."

Anyway, I heard that someone took the school to court and that ended the "experiment." Any Iowa Freepers remember this, or has anyone else seen this film?

This is such stupidity. What can binding the hands of a student possibly teach them about slavery? I guess it could give them insight into the stupidity of government power, but slavery was largely a private sector thing back then.

Slavery was a lifetime of deprivation and lack of freedom. Binding a childs hands for a half hour is not going to give him any greater knowledge of what that is like.

The kids are being duct-taped to the floor to teach them how it felt to be a victim of slavery.

I would eat ramen noodles every day if it meant that my child could avoid being subjected to the hell-holes that are this state's public schools. What is a child's emotional and physical well-being worth? Why would anyone be willing to accept welfare schooling and the poverty of results that it yields? Who gives a flying fig whether some bureaucrat is aggresively trying to stamp out home-schooling and the educational excellence it generally produces? Aren't our children worth a little civil disobedience?
