True,a "mean look"is very trivial and I have been a "victim"thousands of times!!
Yet as a current part time sub in the school system I am often shocked by the cruelty today's youth inflict upon each other.Is it lack of proper home training?Very possibly since kids emulate what they see at home and if they see mom and dad or mom and stepdad going at it like pit bulls this will be the model they pattern themselves after.
Again,the school's overreaction by banning tag and dodgeball is patently absurd.These activities are helpful in letting off steam and aggression in a pretty harmless sort of way.

I think you're correct, Riverman, we are schooling in many instances a very "Jerry Springer" culture. The kids are living hellish lives and possibly someone wants to make them less cruel by signs such as these. However, a big lie doesn't erase a bad home life. A mean look is a mean look, NOT violence. But the point of the article is that this is how the extreme left is litle by little attacking our rights. The words 2nd Amendment is being linked to violence, NOT self-protection and hunting. Can't make their point with conservative adults, they seek to recondition our children. They care not about what these children really need. Many times actions such as these are dismissed as trivial and no big deal. I believe they are of much greater consequence than is seen at first glance. How do you tear down a nation without guns?
