And We Wonder Why All the School Shootings

See “Suspect wounds teacher, fellow student in 23rd school shooting in 2018”.

We took Yahweh out of our schools completely.  Mentioning His Name is prohibited, and students aren’t allowed to pray.

We teach students who are too young to understand perversity that sodomy is normal, even good, and that sexual acts of just about any type are okay at just about any age.

Movies targeting young people glorify sex and violence.  Typical movie storylines make virginity out to be abnormal, even ridiculous.  Some parents make matters much worse by supplying their children with condoms because, as they say, “Kids will be kids.”

In a world where sexually transmitted diseases are rampant, students are instructed in school on the proper use of condoms.

Without parental approval, schools facilitate abortions for young girls who mess up.  Their parents are never told.  Those girls would be required to produce a note from their parents to take an aspirin in school.

We teach young girls that unborn babies are tissue.  They are told that they have a right to murder their unborn children.  Inadvertently, we opened the door to male promiscuity on a grand scale, because there are no consequences for the boys or men involved.

We have confused our young people by telling them that gender is not a biological fact.  They are told that gender is a matter of choice and that the choice can change over time.  They are told that it’s as simple as changing your mind.

Teachers share their opinions in class as though they are facts.  For example, “peace loving” teachers talk about the decision to use atomic weapons to end World War II as though it was horrifyingly wicked.  They fail to mention that incendiary bombing of Tokyo before the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed far more Japanese citizens than the atomic weapons did.  Nothing is said about the fact that invading Japan (the other alternative for ending the war) would have cost about 10 times more Japanese lives than the nuclear weapons destroyed, not to mention the American lives that would have been lost.

Students are taught that white people are bad, particularly white men.

They are taught that the United States is an evil empire.

In a nutshell, our students are taught a bunch of garbage in our schools at taxpayer expense, and teachers who lack common sense and intelligence are portrayed as bastions of virtue.  Older Americans don’t object, because when we were young, they were.  Things have changed dramatically since then.

We expect too little from our young people, and we coddle them.  When they go wild and shoot their fellow students, we don’t blame them.  We blame guns.

We don’t blame the gun used in the assault.  We blame all guns, and we demand that all guns be banned, particularly “assault weapons”.  Any weapon is a potential assault weapon.  Law-abiding citizens may need those weapons to defend themselves when our students grow older and go really wild.  Given the trajectory our nation is on, that’s a reasonable conclusion.

Guns and other inanimate objects aren’t the problem.  They have never been the problem.  People are the problem, and we’ve done everything we can do to make some of them into the monsters they have become.

Blaming guns for human violence is insane.  We need to hold students accountable for their actions, but we need to hold parents, teachers, and other authority figures accountable as well.

It doesn’t take a village to raise our kids.  We’ve tried that, and it doesn’t work.  It takes responsible people.  First and foremost, it takes responsible parents who teach their children right and wrong and who demand performance from teachers in our schools.  Next, we need a justice system that holds everyone accountable for their behavior.  We have failed mightily in that regard.

We have sown the wind, and we are reaping the whirlwind.  If we don’t change our ways, things will get a lot worse going forward.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
