Better watch out, Betty. Those dark people you fear and loathe so much are coming to get you.
YOU “watch out”: she doesn’t “fear and loathe” them; she is telling YOU the truth about them and YOUR leftist attitude.
NOT HAVING SCHOOL POLICE is insane. Certainly there will be more trouble on LAUSD campuses & can’t see this getting passed. Students and liberal teachers think they can control everything.
THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
Well Betty, you are some years older than I am, so we may have had similar experiences in “elementary”, “Jr. High” and “High” School.
Not being a parent, I only know what I hear and see in my extended family. And what I think I know is that we (1950 birth to 1965) lived in a wondrous fairy land of thrumming economies, and only worried about the Effing Russians bombing us into oblivion. I’m glad we didn’t buy a fallout shelter back then because it would have dumped the value of our home by a lot in the 80’s.
In case you’ve forgotten, there were no “School Police” back then. Nor did LAPD or any other police force show up on campus for any reason other than to do a show and tell (and occasionally lock up a juvie defendant). And even then they always sent the youngest (and best looking) officers to connect with us youngsters.
Well, the nukes didn’t fall and we stopped doing the “Duck and Cover” dance after a while.
And I still think that the education I received from LAUSD was excellent.
As far as Education (capital “E”) is concerned, I had a decent one, that taught me the basics and allowed be to excel in those areas I could.
Turns out I liked History and therefore Politics, although the latter not so much; mostly because it seemed like going through the looking glass from Science Fiction.
I’ll tell you what; most of the fiction I read back then could not have convinced me that the world we now live in was even a possibility.
I cannot begin to explain why the education I received (and thrived upon) is no longer relevant today. I still know much more about the world, history, politics, and governing than any of my friends’ kids, much less THEIR kids.
I like TV, I still watch TV, and I do go online and pay attention to certain websites and blogs that seem relative to my life today. And I still read a giant bag of fiction, history, and intermixed books to keep my interest, and hopefully my mind current and functioning.
So Betty, just what is it about today that bothers you so much? Politics? I can assure you that none of us singular voters really matter anymore. The recent decisions by the so-called Supremes have assured that money is more important than voters when it comes to elections. The only difference between California voters, and the rest of the US is that we get bought up on local issues, and ignore the national issues. Just like most of the rest of them, except for the liberal thing.
Hell, if we all (members of the US States) were fully educated and aware voters that could tell a poke from a pig, we’d have an entirely different government. If of course, we had reasonably qualified Senators and Representatives who hadn’t already sold out to other big money fund raisers. AKA banks, corporations, Unions, and fund-raising corporations that can hide their actual owners, and of course the Two Parties.
So what exactly is your bitch about this? Seems like you should be reveling in today’s wallow.
