Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Local Trap Shooting Team Picture Barred From Appearing In Yearbook

A local HS Trap team is being barred from having their photo in their yearbook.

The PC bastards have infiltrated even the red county's in this state.
Big Lake Trap Team

All this lib crap to control the thoughts. Never publish that guns can be fun.

Disgusting!

If they don't publish pictures with guns, guns don't exist?
is that the message?

I hope you all take charge of that up there and raise a big stink.

Another example of academic insanity.
This country has no shortage of educated fools.

That is indeed outrageous. Hopefully the community will rise up.


On the bright side CONGRATULATIONS for still having a high school trap team!

I sent an e mail I was polite and suggested that this team deserves to be recognized for their contribution to the Big Lake Schools, for their participation in a sport that is an Olympic sport.

Congrats to Big Lake HS on a 60-member trap team.

Pitiful. Plum pitiful

"This rule has been in affect since the school started sponsoring a Trap Shooting Team a couple years ago," Westerberg wrote.

Westerberg is the Superintendent quoted in the link posted above. Note his grasp of the English language....

Time to fire the school board

He just received a scathing email from me.

My email to them:



Damn, I need to stop being snarky!

Big Lake. Big Litter-Storm.

The fastest-growing school sport in Minnesota today is trap-shooting. All over greater Minnesota, even into the outer Metro, trap teams are popping up, and drawing all kinds of students into the shooting sports. The growth in terms of numbers and percentage is overwhelming; we’ve got regular commenters on this blog who can go into the specifics, but it’s been pretty meteoric over the past five to ten years.

But they never promised us a rose garden, as they say.

The Big Lake school district is refusing to allow the Big Lake High School Trap Team’s official team photo into the school’s annual for this year.

Because never mind the breakdown of the nuclear farmily, or a popular culture that glorifies violence to those who are least able to process what “violence” actually is and who have no concept of the permanence of “mortality” (teenage boys), marketed with slick cynicism by a Hollywood advertising machine that has no soul. And never mind the fact that Big Lake is well within the part of Minnesota that has a murder rate roughly half that of Norway. Or the fact that while trap shotguns are, technically, weapons, the sport isn’t about violence – certainly nothing compared to the martial overtones and actual pummeling of high school football.

No. Apparently photos of guns are enough to make people violent.

“It’s policy”, says the district – not allowing “weapons” into the yearbook.

But a search of district policies shows nothing about weapons. You can’t bring a gun to school (which may be why Big Lake has never had a school shooting? I don’t know), but there is nothing in the district’s policy about pictures of skeet guns in the hands of a school-sponsored team that is participating in a legal, school sanctioned event.

Anyway – the students on the trap team are doing their best to whip up a litter-storm of Biblical proportion, and I’m going to do my best ton contribute to it.

Polite, measured, reasonable phone calls and emails to be Athletic Director, the Principal and the Superintendent are in order.

As Breitbart said, politics is downstream of culture. It’s battles like this – where the idiots of our society try to de-normalize conservative values – that are where the war for the culture take place every day…

…and where you and me can actually affect them.

I’m off to kick up that biblical litter-storm.

and to think i took a springfield trapdoor with ammo to school for show and tell.
in california!

When I went to school in MN we brought & put our guns in our lockers during hunting season.
My how that state has changed and not for the better.

Guns?
Eyes closed, fingers in ears, LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!

It's MN - so what else is new???

What's especially irritating is they began inter-school trap leagues maybe a dozen years ago and it's been wildly popular. The kids love it and the firearms training that goes along with it is priceless.. But - Schools-be-schools and they're obsession with banning ANY and ALL things "gun" is insane...

Sent to the Super.

The trap club members are probably the most responsible students in the system, and one will not allow their picture in the year book?

There's nothing illegal with firearms. Actually their possession and use is a right in this nation.

Please rethink this.



If anyone here is local with that situation, keep us up on the doings please.
