Elementary School Blues:
A seven year old girl, first grader, receives the award for being the most respectful student in her class. Two weeks later she is taken to the principals office, given a referral and a 5 day detention...because, as she was goofing around with her friends in class she said she was going to kill them. She's 7 years old and was sobbing as her mom drove her home. This kid reads on the 4th grade level. Is sweet, smart and loving. She's also my daughter.
I am beyond words to express my disgust and contempt for the human and circumstantial elements of this incident including the real threat that sick and angry kids with guns pose in our schools and the derelict parents that raise them. I also point to the idiocy, laziness and lack of common sense, courtesy and love on the part of some of our teachers who take the easy road and blindly apply the Kids and Guns protocol. We are fortunate that they didn't also send the police to our house to search McKenzie's bedroom.
The world we live in is devolving before our eyes...and good families are all that is needed to heal the disease.
