But I’ll bet their introduction to sodomy and birth control will not suffer.
St Killjoy’s Pubic Screw-holes....
And they wonder why homeschooling is on the rise.....
theez peeple last not less than 2 minutes in my kid daze when we sharpened sticks in the rough concrete sidewalks in 2nd grade to make shore our sticks were sharp enuf when we tooked on those 3rd graders.
Such as they are.
The free choice of totalitarian control, down to the tiniest minutiae of daily life.
I don' t even have a proper word for it.
Sheesh!
Glad I grew up back in the 50s, back before all this PC crap. Kids were allowed to enjoy themselves and have fun.
My grandkids are in Colorado, I just found out they have to wear helmets in PE. When they play anything involving a ball it is a Nurf ball, they are NOT allowed to run at recess, they can play tag but must just walk and only use one finger to tag the other person on the shoulder only.
I am pleased to say, when they were telling me this they were laughing so hard because of how stupid the school was.
(Oh, and they can not stand Mickey obama because they said the lunches are so bad, they hardly ever eat them (no they must buy lunch))
I loath teachers unions and all that entails......we must get kids in home schools and the feds out of our lives.
That’s the result of having a marxist in the governor’s house and his minions running the state legislature.
I left Baltimore in 1966 and never lived there again. We had sane and competent teachers, principles and school administrators.
Today the insane rule.
i think it would send an awesome message if people just stopped sending kids to public schools altogether. just knock all this pc, anti-boy, anti-competition, anti-thinking, zero tolerance bullcrap off. if nobody went, they’d have nobody to wreck.
imagine a usa without any public schools. we’d be so, so much better off, on the whole.
Maryland is one ****ed up state. Its excessive over-regulation rivals that of California.
just imagine the horror if a pastry-shaper were swinging on a swing with a gun-shaped , home-made chicken finger!
Retiring overseas is looking more appealing by the day! Idiocy in the U.S. has become mainstream normal.
“The distribution of birthday invitations on school grounds is also now verboten.”
I’m betting this one has less to do with “safety” and more to do with the other equally obnoxious trend of “mandatory inclusion”. I dealt with this first-hand in grad school, of all places.
I was informed that we couldn’t have a Christmas, - er, excuse me - “Holiday” office party unless we sent invitations to every department in the building. Otherwise, someone might feel left out.
I’ll lay better than even money that the Maryland schools are taking a similar line, and won’t allow birthday invites on school grounds because it excludes other (i.e. the not invited) students or some such.
Seems these fools go out of their way to OUT-IDIOT each other.
And you will more than likely find that the most that go to the next PTA meeting (or school board) will be on board with this foolishness.
Like they ‘used’ to say.
If you really want something outlandish, make it as stupid and off the wall as possible because the only ones that will show up to vote for it are the idiots that ‘love’ the idea, and those that don’t like it think it is too dumb to pass.
My ex would fit (or does) right in with these fools.
At gsons Baseball games she has been known to make such prolific statements as “why do they slide or let them dive for the ball, they might get hurt”.
To offset her I proudly (and loudly) proclaim -especially to my grandsons (3B/SS)
“Dive for EVERY ball, you may get lucky and make a great play, if nothing else chances are you will keep it from going into the outfield, and at the very least, EVERYBODY will say you are always hustling - because you are”
This bites, but fortunately hasn't made ts way to MontCo yet. My autistic kindergartener gets hugs from her teachers/paraeducators as rewards for staying on task -- it would really set her regular classroom assimilation back several steps if that motivator was taken away from her.
Heaven forbid you should push another parent’s kid on a swing. He might get cooties or something.
I’d really like to know the actual reasons for these regulations, other than the “it’s for the children” meme.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Almost forgot . . .
People’s Republik of Maryland Nanny State PING!
