Okay, now we know what it's like in your fantasy world. The problem is we live in reality, and until the gun registration is overturned as it properly should be, the kids have a reasonable expectation of needing to fill in a gun registration form. I'd rather they did it competently, with full knowledge of what happens with the information and if the information's not there or false. Remember, reality is what happens to us when we're not dreaming, so perhaps you're telling the wrong person to wake up.
When I was in elementary school, a teacher told us about the near extinction of the Buffalo. She told us that they were killed for their tongues. She explained how the hunters cut out the Buffalo tongues, packed them in salt, and shipped them to the Northeast where they were a delicacy. Today I know that the United States Government paid hunters to slaughter the Buffalo as a means to exterminate the Native American Indians. Teachers expect honesty from their students, and should not lie to them, simply because they have a degree in education.
Agreeing (or not) about gun registration is NOT the issue. Registration is NOT mentioned in the Ammendment FOR A REASON. (Shall not be infringed much?) This is fabricated, biased crap and it's being spoon fed to young minds, and barely anyone whimpered. WAKE UP!
Agreed. If you're going to be forced to live under immoral rules they may as well teach you what those rules are. The back lash is younger minds will acclimatize to the idea and consider it normal fueling the cycle.
So schools come under fire for not teaching relevant topics like how to do your taxes or balance a checkbook. When they DO try to be relevant by teaching how to apply for an unpopular license, they....come under fire. Damned if you do, damned if you don't much?
Whether or not you agree with the need for gun registration, the fact that a teacher is teaching actual relevant civics should be encouraged. They also should be teaching how to register for the draft, how to register to vote, a whole pile of things the students will be expected to do at 18, regardless of whether the things themselves are ethical (Draft Registration, I'm looking at you...). In fact, if I were in this district, that is precisely what I'd be asking: "cool, so when's the voter registration unit then?"
The "teacher" that wrote it, and the other one who used it, obviously have an agenda, not to mention the school board that approved it for instruction. If I were there I'd start a recall of their board... except the masses, already brainwashed into horsepucky like this, would never waver from their programming to support their masters... Grrr!!!
It's nothing more than the eventual reality of liberalism in our society manifesting before our eyes in our time. It had to lead to this “do as I say and we will take care of you” and “we know best for you” routine. Anyone that could not see things like this coming years ago and continued to vote in liberal politicians and policies has no one to blame but themselves. It was as inevitable as the fall of Rome when they embraced the Rule of Oligarchy.
