He got in trouble for talking about shooting, and my guns, while in the hallway.
If he disrupted class and got detention I wouldn't have said anything here
Thanks for the clarification.
The witch that gave him detention thinks she will turn him into a liberal but the effect of giving him detention is just the opposite.
I was in the 4th grade in 1968. The teacher was giving a class on current events. The subject was Vietnam. The Tet offensive was in high gear.
The teacher, was about 68. She was a real old socialist.
Anyway, she said; "Children, our soldiers in Vietnam have had to fire upon children your own age. How would that make you feel if you had to shoot at someone your own age?" She paused then called on me for the answer.
My Father was a WWII vet and during that period of my life I was in a lot of fist fights in the neighborhood. In my 10-year-old mind, I had a pretty good appreciation of what it means to fight to survive.
So I said that I would shoot back and kill them if they were trying to kill me. Well, goodness gracious, that was the WRONG answer!
See got the rest of the class to gang up on me, in a manner of speaking. I didn't back down. I stood on my convictions so much that the socialist teacher sent me out in the hallway to think about my "murderous" attitude.
Several weeks later we had another class. She told the class that in this scenario, there is a bomb shelter in our backyard. There has been a nuclear attack on the US.
Each of us has taken refuge in the bomb shelter with five other people. The bomb shelter only has enough food and water for five people and not six.
She gave us a sheet of paper with the run-down of the occupants in the shelter. We were tasked with playing God and choosing someone in the group to go outside and die from the fallout.
We couldn't choose ourselves. We were told that there were no right or wrong answers but be prepared to justify our answer.
I was taught that life was precious. Since there were no right or wrong answers, I decided that nobody would have to die. We could split the rations six ways not five.
The teacher gave us time to think then polled my classmates for their answers. When she got to me, I told her my answer on how to save everyone in the shelter.
Once more, that was the WRONG answer. She told me that I had to pick one. I replied; "But you said there were no right or wrong answers!"
She told me not to get smart with her and I spent the rest of the class out in the hallway.
Afterward, I asked a classmate what she said about me while I was in the hallway.
He laughed, rolled his eyes and replied; "She said you had 'problems."
I share all that with you to say that the teacher thought that she was going to turn me into another socialist like her. Just the opposite was true.
I was so disgusted by her actions toward me that I became an ultra-right-wing-God-fearing-bible-believing-gun-toting-conservative and vowed never to give into another socialist scumbag ever again!
The kid that got detention, for talking about guns, will probably grow up to do likewise. In fact I can predict that we'll have a lot of uber-conservatives in the next generation because the "wokeness" infecting society right now.
