And Where are Your Kids?

A 10 year old girl brings her lunch to school and packs a steak knife for her steak.  Your friendly, never-too-careful, always-doing-the-smart-thing government school did what it does best: applies idiocy to a situation calling for common sense and dials 911.  The sheriff arrives, and takes the girl into custody for “assessment” since they couldn’t get the girl’s parents on the phone.  Story here.

This is just one more in a long line of news bits that indicate the truth about government run education facilities: the people in charge of government schools are ninnies.  When you can’t distinguish between a real threat (look! Johnny has a gun in class!) and a not-so-real threat (oh. she’s cutting her steak with her steak knife) you’re not qualified to teach people to think.

Oh, but wait.  Since when was the goal of government educators to teach people to think?  I forgot.  The aim has never been to teach people to think on their own, and to come to conclusions based on reasoning and facts.  The goal is to teach you what to think.

If your kids are in government schools, get them out or kiss their brains goodbye.  They will be indoctrinated.  If you think that the government is teaching your kids to think on their own so that they can be independent, intelligent people, you’re living in a dream-world.

It’s that simple.
