Thank God I got out of the government indoctrination center system, a.k.a. public schools, when I did. They seem to be getting dumber and dumber and more and more weaker by the second. The state of Georgia seems to be one of the worst. Hell, we’ve scored 49th on the nation’s S.A.T. scores not too long ago. There’s no surprise there. They don’t teach in the public schools government indoctrination centers like they used to. If they ever did.
Two Georgia counties, Cobb County and Gwinnett County, are quite possibly the worst places to send your children to be brainwashed into believing the government is great. Or is that the best? It’s hard to tell. Not too long ago, Cobb County pulled two acts of stupidity out of their ass within the same year. First, they had “disclaimer stickers” inserted in all science textbooks, indicating that the theory of evolution was just a “theory.” A lot of parents became outraged, claiming that said stickers secretly promoted religion, and a judge had ordered the stickers be removed. Second, an elementary school in the city of Smyrna, which is in Cobb County, banned all peanut-based foods. You cannot send your child to this school with a lunchbox stocked with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a packet of peanut butter crackers, and a couple of Reese’s peanut butter cups. It might cause other children who are allergic to peanuts to break out, since they would be exposed to it. Please. In most cases the only time a food allergy occurs is if the allergic comes in direct contact with the food, such as touching it or eating it. Simply being around it should cause no problems.
Now on to Gwinnett County. Recently, a principal at an elementary school came under fire for making a student take a shock pen, and shock himself a few times. The article states the pen emits low current shocks. Probably no worse than the shock you received when you accidentally touched the electric fence at your grandparents’ farm. Nothing worse. The parents of the boy, the parents of some of the other children, and the school board are all acting like she made the child stick his finger in a receptacle outlet or gave him the Abu Ghraib treatment.
It seems that newspapers and other news agencies no longer care about getting the whole story. Neither do the head managers of the government indoctrination centers. The parents of the child being punished think he’s the victim. I think it’s another case of pitying and rewarding the bully. More than likely, he played the prank on one too many students, or else shocked one too many students, he got in trouble for it, expected to serve detention for a few days, and instead is made to shock himself. Perhaps he’ll have a future career as a member of the Opus Dei.
