OK, so a picture of an AR-15 with the words “MOLON LABE!” is probably out. And even with Supreme Court decisions in Heller and McDonald, chances are anything specifially Second Amendment-related would get the boot. Even though you and I might not find it “controversial,” the court was divided five to four in each case. Hell, let’s just stipulate all the lies and manipulation have succeeded in creating an unbridgeable gulf between those demanding citizen disarmament and those who believe the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
OK, so how close to the edge can a kid get?
That’s a good question, and that line changes with each passing day, getting closer and closer so that there is no more liberty.
I think it’s a fair statement that “all the lies and manipulation have succeeded in creating an unbridgeable gulf between those demanding citizen disarmament and those who believe the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” In fact, I don’t think it takes lies and manipulation to do that. I think it just takes a belief in the right things.
Belief isn’t something the public school system can abide. What we have in place now was essentially created by John Dewey, and children are treated as a tabula rasa, with the values of the state poured into their soul day after day, year after year. That blank tablet doesn’t stay blank for long. It’s not by accident – it’s by design, or another way of saying it is that Dewey didn’t see children as a blank tablet being a detriment, but as the entry point of how the state can socialize them. It’s a good thing to Dewey, this nexus of state values and children in school.
Given that, why would you want to educate your children in the public school system?
