Randi Weingarten is the president of the American Federation of Teachers and has enormous influence over what your children learn.
This is a recent thread of hers:
Just saw ads for a company producing assault rifles for kids, which I refuse to share because it’s so upsetting & disturbing. I want to talk about this. (1/5)

The @VPCinfo issued a 2016 report entitled “’Start Them Young’: How the Firearms Industry and Gun Lobby Are Targeting Your Children.” The report compared the gun lobby’s efforts targeting young people to those of Big Tobacco. (2/5)

Unfortunately, shootings involving children & teens are tragic & well-documented parts of our daily lives. What I don’t think people realize is that the NRA & other interest groups have made it one of their top marketing priorities to promote gun use to kids. (3/5)

In doing this, the gun industry is following a trail once blazed by Big Tobacco in its efforts to entice kids to smoke cigarettes. This isn’t about gun owners teaching their kids how to shoot. This is about companies putting profit over the lives of children. It is wrong. (4/5)

As we condemn this deplorable behavior we’re also focused on getting safe storage laws passed, funding for community violence intervention programs approved and important action like this: https://t.co/rxZRJBIIR7 (5/5)

First of all, I’d like one example of a kid who attended an NRA sponsored youth gun safety program, youth safe hunting program, or Boy Scout riflery merit badge program who went on to become a school shooter.
Of course these have nothing to do with one another.
Here are some recent headlines that I think are worth noting:
‘Gender Queer’: Texas mom furious as book depicting oral sex is seen in school library
School system pulls 2 books with graphic sex from libraries
Texas school calls in counselors after teacher reads book about transgender boy
Parents push schools to pull books with transgender, same-sex content
First grade parents shocked after teacher read transgender book to students: report
These are from all over the country.
They understand that the schools are indoctrination centers and a tool for establishing cultural hegemony.
Gun Culture is their enemy. How dare we teach our children to shoot and to know how to use guns safely. How dare we raise out children in our culture with our values of freedom and self reliance.
Instead schools are to inculcate children with their culture of gender queerness and sexual libertinism.
You can’t teach your middle school child how to shoot a 22 but they can teach your middle school child about same-sex oral sex experimentation.
Which is more of a danger to a child, an NRA gun safety class or a book about 8th graders giving blow jobs?
And which one of those is the educational bureaucracy advocating for and against?
Reject their culture and promote your own.
At 6 years old I was out back with dad wanging away at a steel barrel with a 1911. Same age I was shooting steel plates at 100 yards with a Remington 03A3 in 30-06. I still have both. Somehow I never shot up a school. Clueless morons triggered by firearms
Neil Smith was known to argue that public schools should be treated like Carthage: raze them to the ground, then sow the grounds with salt. The more I see the more I’m inclined to agree with him.
IMO ypu cannot lose credibility any quicker than when you say a thing happened and I refuse to talk about it, show it to you, or provide the evidence for you to see for yourself because it hurts me too much.
