Schools Jump the
Shark
By Michael Geer
Around the ranch we usually mutter and shake our
heads, but now they've gone too far.
Public school officials at Heritage Middle
School in Meridian, Idaho put the school on 'lockdown' because a teenage boy
was seen 'roaming the halls' with a ... ready? ... a folding military style ...
shovel.
A shovel.
No report filed on whether it was a high
capacity shovel. Might have been high capacity in the hands of Big John,
loading sixteen tons.
Certainly not in the soft un-calloused hands of a school bureaucrat.
A middle school teenage boy was spotted in the
halls with a 'suspicious' object and the school "resource officer"
leapt into action. Only trouble was the boy was on an errand for a teacher who
had forgotten the folding entrenching tool, meaning shovel. A prop
for a history lesson on WWII.
Local police said no charges would be filed. So
the kid's got that going for him, which is nice.
Meanwhile, quoting the KTVB article:
... Nearby Rocky Mountain
High School, Paramount Elementary, Prospect Elementary, Sawtooth Middle School
were put in "shelter in place" mode,
which means students weren't allowed to leave those schools while police
responded to Heritage Middle School. Exline says those schools took the measure
as a precaution.
Dear God. Whatever happened to a proud and
resilient people who took pride in the phrase "One Riot. One
Ranger"? Are our public schools really captained by idiots and Peter Principle
bureaucrats? Has it really come to this, that a boy with a shovel is a threat
to the community?
Yes.
There's the boy
who brought kombucha tea to school in his own lunchbox.
The six year old Maryland
boy suspend for making gun-hand gesture and saying ... gasp ... Pow!
The Hyannis
School District's threat to rid themselves of a boy, age five, who made a gun
out of Legos!
The Arizona
high school freshman suspended for being in possession a blankety blank
picture of a gun.
A Loveland, Colorado 2nd Grader
playing at being hero during recess in a make believe game of saving his
friends by throwing an imaginary grenade into a box.
(take the blood pressure pill, Geer)
The five year old suspended
in Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania and actually accused of being a terrorist for
playing with her 'Hello Kitty Bubble Gun'. No, I did not make that up. Wait, I
typed that wrong. Suspended for talking about playing with her bubble
gun.
Melody Valentin
was searched, harassed, interrogated, chastised, yelled at by school officials,
ridiculed by her classmates and suspended for the crime of having a piece of
paper with her that sorta kinda resembled a gun. Quote: "He [school
official] yelled at me and said I shouldn't have brought the gun to school and
I kept telling him it was a paper gun, but he wouldn't listen." She was
even called a murderer.
Paper bullets, anyone? A grown man yelling at a
little girl, making her cry in public? He needs to meet Trace Adkins.
A Waco, Texas four year old boy suspended for hugging a
teacher's aide.
A San Diego teen suspended
for bringing his Bible to school, and the horror of sharing his faith while at
school.
Alyssa McKinley
thought her Monument, Colorado friend was having an asthma attack and shared
her asthma inhaler with her. That's how they got thrown out of school. For an
act of kindness.
Suspended for taking a picture
of a teacher napping on the job. Yep, Mustang, Oklahoma. Not the teacher. The
student.
And the infamous Jello suspension. Don't do
Jello, kids. Not in school anyway.
Yes, being employed in the teaching professions
is hard work, and Lord knows these brave men and women get little to no help
from parents who treat school like a Government Baby Sitting Entitlement
Program. But c'mon. Be serious.
A West Michigan school district is seriously
considering raising teacher salaries to $100,000 in order ... and I quote ...
"attract the best talent".
How about we start with school administrators
and their minions on down to the teacher being tested for common sense,
traditional values and hard headed character? You know, like the Rev. Martin
Luther King wanted? Content of character? Instead of The Indomitable Fortress
of Rule-Gods and their Holy Book of Ever Expanding Rules?
For pity's sake, even Wikipedia now has an entry
for The War On Kids.
You can go here to see what Wiki is
referencing.
Here is my analysis. Not American Thinker's
analysis. My analysis. The war on kids, authoritarian bullies sucking up
massive paychecks on our dime, the impenetrable wall of ideological ignorance
married to an intensely juvenile and callow state of mind fostered and nurtured
by American Higher Education has produced a hell children must not be exposed
to. The active propaganda and literal Pavlovian behavioral
training that goes on in public schools to force and reinforce a
Progressive agenda is disgusting at best and terrifying in reality. If they
know how to rewire a child's brain in pursuit of reading skills, do I need
posit the next obvious postulate?
Expelling a child for supposed gun related
issues at 4, 5 even 6 years old is behavioral modification taken to the level
of brainwashing.
Get your
children out of public schools. Do not sacrifice your children. Get
out now. Because John D. Rockefeller meant it when he said
"I don't want a nation of thinkers. I want a nation of workers."
Why do I mention John D.? Because it was John
D.'s money through the Trust that founded the National Education Association.
The largest labor union in America.
In 1936, the National Education Association
stated its position, from which they have never wavered; "We stand for
socializing the individual."
The NEA in its "Policy For American
Education" stated,
"The major problem of
education in our times arises out of the fact that we live in a period of
fundamental social change. In the new democracy [we were a Republic] education
must share in the responsibility of giving purpose and direction to social
change. The major function of the school is the social orientation of the
individual. Education must operate according to a well-formulated social
policy."
Paul Haubner, specialist for the NEA, tells us,
"The schools cannot
allow parents to influence the kind of values-education their children receive
in school; that is what is wrong with those who say there is a universal system
of values. Our goals are incompatible with theirs. We must change their
values."
"Education for
international understanding involves the use of education as a force for
conditioning the will of the people." - National Education Association,
Education for International Understanding in American Schools, page 33 (1948)
"Schools will become
clinics whose purpose is to provide individualized, psycho-social treatment for
the student, and teachers must become psycho-social therapists."- National
Education Association, "Education for the '70s," Today's Education,
January 1969
"Far too many people
in America, both in and out of education, look upon the elementary school as a
place to learn reading, writing and arithmetic." - Association for
Supervision and Curriculum Development, National Education Association
Yearbook, 1947
"The NEA's ultimate
goal is to tap the legal, political and economic powers of the U.S. Congress.
We want leaders and staff with sufficient clout that they may roam the halls of
Congress and collect votes to re-order the priorities of the United States of
America." - Terry Herndon, NEA Executive Director, 1973
"We are the biggest
potential political striking force [union] in this country, and we are
determined to control the direction of [public] education." - NEA
President Catherine Barrett (1972)
"In the struggle to
establish an adequate world government, the teacher can do much to prepare the
hearts & minds of children for global understanding and cooperation.... At
the very heart of all the agencies which will assure the coming of world
government must stand the school, the teacher, and the organized
profession." - The Teacher & World Government by former editor of the
NEA Journal, Joy Elmer Morgan, 1946
"NEA and its
affiliates are effective advocates because we have power, and we have power
because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us
hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year." - Bob Chanin, NEA General
Counsel
"I don't want a nation
of thinkers. I want a nation of workers." - John D. Rockefeller, created
the General Education Board (GEB) in 1903 to dispense Rockefeller funds to the
National Education Association.
You serve up your child to a godless-ness always
roaming in the world since the days of child sacrifice to Moloch. I beg you,
get your children out of public schools.
