I had some thoughts yesterday evening (yeah, I know that’s dangerous) about the situations in schools today…
Growing up, we routinely had either shotguns or rifles in the gunrack in the truck, and usually a pistol under the seat in high school. A lot of schools had rifle teams, and none of us ever thought about using them for other than hunting or target practice.
Obviously, today is SIGNIFICANTLY different…
I would posit that there are four reasons.
Lack of positive male role models, and many single parent homes (or kids farmed out to relatives).
Lack of training in firearms. (We grew up and were trained by people who had used guns for hunting and WWII/Korea, so we were taught to respect them and use them correctly.)
Lack of religion/lack of discipline in schools. (No longer saying prayers, no longer getting your butt beat/expelled when you did something stupid.)
And last, and probably most important, Progressives/Liberals have taken over the school systems and, IMHO, are holding the kids hostage to their agenda/desires, which include outright banning of guns, emasculating males of all ages, and ’empowering’ women through micro/macro aggressions, etc.
They are also pushing the us against them agenda, shutting down conservatives who are in education, and they are deathly afraid of getting armed teachers, or increased security in schools. That would mean conservative, and better trained people who would be positive role models, not agenda driven ‘agents of change’.
The media is pushing the gun banner’s agenda hard, and relying on ’emotions’ to bully legislators into reacting with changes in the heat of the moment rather than critically thought out, measured changes.
The Israeli model works, and has for 40 years, but they don’t want to hear that… Ever…
Kicking the soap box back in the corner… Comments?
