Only it was in art class and he had drawn a picture of a soldier in Iraq shooting a rifle.

He was told by the principle that pictures of guns cannot be drawn in school, and sent back to class; end of story.

He is my grandson, so I doubt seriously that they will have much success in demonizing guns in his mind, but you can see how the anti gun mentatility is perpetuated for children who do not have family to counterbalance the government line. You can see also why government wants to control education.

Where in Missouri are you? I ask because I grew up in Springfield. I'd hate to think my hometown had gone all blissninny.

Time to tell the principal that the kid was drawing pictures of a hero, not "a gun". :fire:

Recently there was a 6 year old who was accused and suspended for sexual harrasment (putting a finger inside someone elses wasit band)

A few years ago i would occasionally draw stick figures with (quite good IMHO) looking m-16's shooting cows.

Yes, cows :D

Recently i have been drawing cartidges in my CAD class in my freetime (7.92x63, 7.62x61, 7.62x54, 7.62x51, 7.62x45, 7.62x39, 7,62x25, 5.7x28, 4.11x21, 6.8x41, 5.56x45, 5.45x39, 9x19.)

Thats all i could remember. Most of the major ones...
Wasnt there an 8x25?

But this is in high school.

Oh, you may try to make us into sheeple, you frackin commie/socilaist school boards, but your gonna fail on me, on that i swear!

Oh, and confederate flags are banned in my school too. I wouldnt personally siplay one, but i think you ought to be allowed to.

All this while people are allowed to wear USSR symbols and flags. *Sigh*

The soviets ruined a really good flag there, have to admit. Sicle and hammer made a good flag.

Heres some more BS for you, from personaly experience-

I cannot wear two peices of cammo at the same time
you cannot wear SWAT memorobelia (weapons part of special weapons and tactics,i guess0

Reminds me i need to buy a Zero Tolerance= Zero Intelligence t-shirts and some pro-gun qoutes t-shirts.
 
I love all the "World" history they teach. We have a Bill of rights and it seems as no other country does. So let's call "World" history what it really is "Socialist" history.
 
I'm a junior in HS and my AP English teacher is a Marxist. No matter what book we read, she always finds a way the working class is getting screwed. Then she told us that The Nation is a good magazine.

he he he

I guess im lucky, im a junior as well. My teacher constantly says "im a teacher (pauses to wait for us to finish) not a preacher".

It gets annoying because he has some interesting views and he often shows very little of them, but i cant really blame him.
 
Oh my God! (I can say that, can't I?)

So I assume that this school district selects only history books with NO pictorial representations of soldiers holding, carrying, or :)eek: ) shooting guns.

Do you perhaps have a name and an address for the principal and teacher involved, and the chairperson of the local board of education? Methinks they need a few letters from veterans. Ah kin rite -- I'll volunteer to go first.
 
If that were my kid I would yank him out of school, and home school him. With lots of range sessions too. That "principle" has no principles . worthless twit!
 
Part of the school's initial phase of imposing a consistent policy should also be the exclusion of George Washington and other Presidents who are depicted with or associated with guns. That list includes most U.S. Presidents, I believe, including Andrew Jackson (U.S. Army), Harry S Truman (U.S. Army), Dwight D. Eisenhower (U.S. Army), John F. Kennedy (U.S. Navy), and Jimmy Carter (U.S. Navy). The school should not inform students about those Presidents because there are graphic representations of them armed: pupils are likely to see at least some of those representations and believe that the school approves of those gun toting Presidents.

Oh, and you forgot the big daddy of Presidential gun toters- Teddy Roosevelt. I don't think I've seen too many piuctures of him without a 1895 winchester in his hand standing over the carcass of something or other. :D
 
It's a regional thing. I teach in a small public school in Wyoming, where we close school for the opening day of deer season, teach hunter's safety, have a turkey shoot at the trap range just before Thanksgiving, etc. You might be a redneck if your kid's teacher asks your son, "Did you get your elk?"
 
I wonder if he would have been sent to the principal if he drew a picture of a criminal stabbing an unarmed person (and write "no gun" next to the peron being stabbed). :scrutiny:

This is a prime example of liberals demonizing a "thing" rather than focusing on the person using the "thing." :fire:

I love that quote. It's the sort of thing I would have done in High School.
I was taught in the Kansas City Missouri School District. One of the worst in the nation. (How does one waste a billion dollars? I don't know, I ain't the school board).

Although I was in this district, I got to go to a college prep school, which was the only decent one.
I remember the civics and gov class actually had a person come in to talk about the UN! I :cuss: you not!

I was already becoming libertarian then, and ticked this guy off by pointing out that the rights in the UN declaration were not rights at all because they weren't at all like the bor. He smiled in a really nasty way.

When I brought up the idea of self-defense with firearms being a universal human right, you'd have thought I'd suggested clubbing baby seals!

If I should convince some poor woman to breed with me, I think home schooling or a rural district would be ideal

Well, it is. While often totally uninteresting that's partially due to the fact that it's really depressing, and partly just badly written. OTOH, I've found some truly insightful gems in that rag.

Yeah, the Star&Bars, the Conferderate battle flag. The civil war was about taxes and tariffs. Lincoln didn't play the "race" card until 1862 when the North appeared to be losing the war.

Here, here...but not just about taxes and tarrifs. Also about shipping lanes and industrial manufacturing. I would say slavery was only about 20% of it.
 
I'd be in so much trouble if I went to school in the USA... I'd probably be in a federal pen with all the stuff I drew in art class :evil:

I even built a mock battle scene of brazing rod stick men with swords axes & pike poles going medieval on each other...
 
From the thread title I thought you acutally meant "drawing" a gun. I thought getting sent to the principal's office was a rather light punishment.
