Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Facebook poll... Should Students Protesting Guns be Punished for Missing Class?

I would think they will get extra points!

Damn skippy!

Some of the weaknesses and misdirected efforts you note here also bother me - a bunch. But, there is no overall "public education system" in the US. The aims, efforts and outcomes of public schools vary greatly by state and by community - and some are quite excellent. Others are poor. Quite a number are somewhere in between.

In my school there is zero effort for "social reconstruction" and zero "indoctrination of a socialist agenda.". Gaining sound fundamental skills, developing one's unique talents and showing exceptional performance are expectations for every student. There are no participation trophies - showing up is not an attribute. I have enjoyed my students and loved working with them, and have zero time or respect for educational pretenders.

How many of these kids got kicked out of school for carrying posters with pictures of guns on them? Zero tolerance, remember?

The wife had a sub assignment today, in a school of 4,500 students 1,000 had brought the required note signed by a parent. Not all left class for the protest, one class the wife taught had 6 students who had the note and only one left and returned. In another class only one student left for the protest and aparrently took the rest of the day off as they never returned.

To All,

The "protesting students", who walked out of class this week, had best be GLAD that I'm not the superintendent of their ISD, as all of them would be suspended for 1-3 days & receive a ZERO for the time that they failed to remain in class.
(IF the network news was truthful this evening, MOST students stayed out all day & many didn't bother to even attend the "protest" & went elsewhere.).

We don't allow middle-school & HS students to vote, hold office, drink alcohol and most other things that adults can lawfully do. Most adults generally ignore their immature/ignorant opinions and/or chuckle about those half-baked notions. - They simply are unable to have mature opinions because they themselves are "wet behind the ears kids".

yours, tex

It's different because the kids are marching for their unalienable right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Especially the first one, which trumps these sickos' right to buy an AR 15.

Hey, Padliar, i think you may be referring to "inalienable" rights? I

So, why didn't the teachers just give a pop quiz when they all left? Anyone who left shouldn't be able to make it up and fail for the day.
Just try taking a day off to go hunting or fishing. You'll be told school is too important to miss for those things.

Why don't you ask Jefferson?

From the Declaration of Independence

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.

Oh, and consume feces, anus.

The NRA is going down. We've passed the tipping point. It's radical, right wing policies have been exposed to the next generation. The end can't come soon enough.

Realistically in two weeks I am taking my Sophomore sections of Global Issues to the Fairbanks Correctional Center(Jail) so that they can see first hand what is like when you are a "liberal student chit" and give up your liberties. I would sure like those students doing the walkouts to have to take a trip down through D-block where the dudes like to catcall the boyish looking snowflakes and the jail women tend to catcall the social justice warrior chicks. Sure would fix there little wagons quick.

What the hell is "In School Suspension"?........or should I even ask?

ISS = Stuck in a room all day. At my high school you’d get the whole days assignments in the morning and then be stuck at a desk for the entire day. Aside from 4 or 5 piss breaks you just sat there and weren’t allowed to get up.


Kinda a last step before they kicked ya out of school for a few days entirely.


It beat Saturday School.

Somehow this ^^^^^^worked well for generations. Then liberals decided pink unicorns and rainbows were more important than honor for family and country...All is lost on these little Fck-Tards.
