In the town of Milford, Massachusetts, it is now illegal to be a ten-year-old boy. What did Nickolas Taylor, the obvious future mass-murderer, do to earn a two-day suspension from Stacey Middle School?
Pretend his finger was a "gun" and make "pew-pew" noises. Or what, oh, I don't know, every ten-year-old boy in the history of the human "species" has done dating back to the invention of gun powder. Indeed, the school officials that threw him out of school had no idea if his hand was supposed to be a "gun-gun" or a laser pistol or a type-II hand phaser or a squirt gun. Nor did they care. "Zero tolerance" means "zero tolerance," by golly, even if there actually isn't anything in the school's anti-gun rules that makes any mention of "finger guns":
“I think this is very slanderous toward Nickolas and his character,” said [the boy's father] Taylor. “It was non-threatening. He’s just a typical boy with an imagination.”
Precisely.
Oh, and by the way, Mr. Taylor, it's slanderous toward you as well. Obviously you're not raising young Nickolas to believe in fantasies and delusions, such as that guns are sentient and irredeemably evil and can mentally compel people to pick them up and fire them at innocent targets. You're not "teaching" your son about the vast flocks of Glocks and herds of assault weapons that used to roam this land before gun control statutes culled their numbers down to a manageable level. Indeed, guns are the only "species" that leftists feel free to endanger. Perhaps the National Rifle Association should change their name to the "National Firearm Wildlife Fund".
If you were a "responsible" parent, Mr. Taylor, young Nickolas would know all of these things that are not so.
On the other hand, maybe his "sin" was saying "pew" in school property. Because you know what has "pews," right? Churches.
Predictably....:
A conduct slip, written by Assistant Principal Noah Collins, lists the offense as a threat.
Collins could not be reached for comment despite numerous phone calls and emails seeking comment – nor could Stacy Principal Nancy Angelini. Superintendent Robert Tremblay also did not return phone calls and emails.
Of course. Every time one of these stupid-ass public schools pulls one of these stupid-ass anti-gun "zero tolerance" stunts, it always attracts national attention and always embarrasses the educrats who perpetrate them, and they never have any comment for the media, because what can they say? "We're stupid-ass anti-gun nuts, and [BLEEP] you!"?
I wasn't kidding up above about there being no rule against "finger guns":
According to WCVB the school’s handbook mentions that toy guns (and real weapons, of course) are banned inside the school but notes that the rules do not mention any proscription against fingers being shaped like a gun.
Now that Stacy Middle School's status as a "gun-free zone" has been publicized, care to place any bets on how long it will be before a gunman bursts into the building and starts mowing down everybody in sight? Oh, but don't worry - he'll get a stern "conduct slip" for his heinous actions.
And now we transition from stupid-ass silliness to genuinely insidious danger:
An elementary school handout that has been in use across the nation since at least 2009 teaches kids that government “gives us rights,” an idea that goes 100% against the principles upon which the USA was formed. Titled “Being a Good Citizen,” the handout was written by Phyllis Naegeli and was recently found on edhelper.com. [emphasis added]
Since at least 2009, eh? Something significant happened in 2009, as I recall. Something wholly consistent with the heretical notion that "government gives us our rights".
Let us revisit a document Ms. Naegeli has evidently never read:
We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness - That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. [emphases added]
Or, to paraphrase President Gerald Ford, "A government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have."
Again, eminently predictably, as soon as the light of public scrutiny was shown on this "teaching aid," "government gives us our rights" was changed to "government protects our rights." Which means that Ms. Naegeli knew the difference between those two concepts damn good and well and is part of the all-out leftwing effort to brainwash "young skulls full of mush" to believe the former and never learn about the latter, all the better to become good little Obamunist drones....
....any questions?
Class dismissed.
