Plus the school system is basically government babysitting with all the sporting activities they've come up with. Now the parents have become so lazy they want the schools to teach their kids to pray. Who was it that said takes a village to raise a child? Will I guess that true with all the one parent homes.

I have always thought being a conservative was taking personal responsibility. But here we are asking the government to ban this, limit that etc.,etc.

I agree. What happened to parents raising children? Government responsibility for child rearing is a far left ideology.

It does make me very uncomfortable when people start talking about banning just about anything.

I’m with @WAB , parents need to start stepping up and raising kids not farming lot out to the government and schools.

The far left is going to send their kids to public school. Just seems prudent to do all we can to make sure those schools are more than just indoctrination centers, even for the children of the left.

This helps to restrict the lazy parents just letting social media raise the kids. It’s not the ones who do good parenting who are concerned about it. View it as those who do good parenting going “yay! Now the lazy ones kids will be better too” (potentially).

For those that have complained about “the military industrial complex “ in the past, Sanders agrees with you.

"I think it's time to tell the military-industrial complex they cannot get everything they want," said Sen. Bernie Sanders. "It's time to pay attention to the needs of working families."

The last two school shootings were at private religious schools, the one in Tennessee was a former student and the most recent was a current student.

But your point is valid.

I see a fatal flaw in Bernies speech, in a country of 360 million or so we can’t have 600 million homeless. But then again I may have read it wrong.

I am probably overly sensitive on this subject. When we were in Ukraine adopting our daughter we went to the summer camp for orphans every day to pick up a load of kids and take them on a picnic. The summer camp was an old Soviet indoctrination camp for children. It was chilling to actually see how these camps were set up to separate children from their parents and indoctrinate them in communist ideology. No government should be in the business of indoctrination of children, left, right, or center.

@WAB You're not overly sensitive at all. Indoctrination, brainwashing, coercion, grooming, whatever you want to call of children is the lowest of the low.
