From a couple posts down...

"I've also asked the school board,to make a part of every day, some kind of anti-violence anti-gun message, every day every school at every level. One thing that I think is clear with young people, and with adults as well, is that we just have to be repetitive about this, its not enough to have a catchy ad on a Monday and only do it every Monday, we need to do this every of the week, and really just brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way."


Does it sound to you, like the kids in schooling under those school boards referred to above, have any choice in the matter?

So "mandatory" is a red herring at best.

Contrived distinctions without any meaningful tangible differences, don't suddenly become the huge differences you say they are, simply because you said so. But lets examine this a little farther:

"difficult to realize the difference between an mandatory class which affects GPA and a 'message'"

In this this "mandatory" class...you'd be ok with it teaching the bill of rights minus the current legal interpretation of amendment 2, right? Or you'd be ok with it teaching the "collective rights" interpretation of amendment 2, right?

Should schools teach the bill of rights and just skip amendment 2?

What do you think they SHOULD do, in schools, where amendment 2 is concerned, since they DO teach the bill of rights, and amendment 2 is a part of it?

But that's neither here nor there...


This thread is chocked full of posts about propaganda and indoctrination, which ignore completely one example, while piling on the other. Posts by people who are clearly anti-gun, and have an anti-gun posting history.

Which was the point. Scratch an anti-gunner, and routinely, you uncover a hypocrite willing ready and able to chastise the other side for doing X, while turning a blind eye to people from their own side of the issue doing that very same X.
