Nothing wrong with the message. I don't trust the agenda driven writers behind it. Get their foot in the door, win trust, inject their real propaganda.

P.S. - Tell your teacher if mommy or daddy have a gun.

End the current culture of 24/7 dependence on electronics and social media. Send the kids outside to play after school and weekends. Let them ride their bikes together around the neighborhood. Don't be afraid to let them get dirty or even hurt once in a while. Make them do their homework and some chores. Have a father at home that gives shit. Take them fishing. Give them an ass whooping when needed to keep them straight. Teach them that life isn't fair and sometimes people are assholes. That'll fix a lot of that.
I'd pass a kidney stone if, for a gag, they ended that with "...and what better place to bond and get to know one another then a trip to the local gun range. Just have your parents return your signed permission slip and provide a small fee for related costs and join us out on the range."

It's called brain washing.....this "bullying" thing really gets My attention. I grew up on the east side of Buffalo in the 50's and bullying went on 24/7. You'd fight a guy in the morning and be playing with them in the afternoon. I'd come home with a black eye or a bloody lip and all's was asked was how's the other guy look. We fought in between periods in the lavatories at school and went to class. No one got stabbed or shot.
I can't remember any suicides....depression or whatever. I could go on for hours about what was needed to get through the day without a fight. I'm sure others have experienced the same and still manage to live today.

Things are different nowadays. The technology age has advanced bullying to a level where kids cant escape it.
I dont see anything wrong with this message, in fact i think its a good thing. With 3 young boys i see bullying first hand.

I don't see anything inherently wrong with the message.
However, I would caution against us trying to protect our children too much from the world and life. They need to learn earlier on how to deal with other people's bullshit. We need to teach tougher skin, and internal self worth. I don't get the impression the above letter has those real-world realities in mind.

When does being assertive end and being a bully start?
The anti-bullying nonsense is getting so out of hand, the president gets called a bully if he stands up to Congress or a foreign government.
Is a union leader a bully when he threatens a strike? Is someone buying a car a bully if they negotiate with a salesman? The nonsense has to end somewhere.
How about instead of telling kids not to be a bully we tell them not to be a jerk?

If kids weren't staring at phones 24/7 maybe they wouldn't be "socially isolated".

lets "start with hello" ~~~ we will mold your child into a compliant zombie, so that, in the future, should a predator approach your young adult, she/he/it will be completely unprepared for the violence that is about to hit them. As the predator beats the schitt out of your boy, and rapes your daughter, they will be shocked into inaction and will probably die wondering why these violent people did not go through the "Start with Hello" programming curriculum, Butt, at least YOUR CHILD will be friendly and easy pray.

Actually, if anything, them being on their phones makes them more socially connected, which is exactly the problem. There isn't enough of a turn inward, towards self reflection and individual thinking. It's all about the group mentality, all about what other people think.

I taught My children the same I was taught. Say Hi if said to you. 70 years ago the rule was "children should be seen but not heard". We had no business jumping into an adult conversation unless asked. We were taught to respect elders and be polite. We were told to play with other children.
It amazes me when adults say something like was said after Trump was elected. I saw on the "net".....My 8 year old couldn't sleep when Trump was elected....or My child cries theirselves to bed at night because of Trump. Children should be out playing and enjoying life rather than have their parents inflict their political views. I'd turn them in for child abuse.

When I was that age the only thing I knew about the president was how to spell their names correctly.....and that's how it should be.

On the surface this appears to be a good message. Include the ostracized to prevent isolation and potentially avoid school shooters. I have reservations on who is delivering it, and Id be waiting for the alternative motive to be dropped. If it where my kid would be monitoring this assignment it closely.

...and we will take this opportunity to explain the differnces between a pretending gun free zone and a real gun free zone inside a secured perimeter and all the choices we have to make to live inside and outside the wire to keep everyone as safe as we can.

Ideally. But apples falling from trees and all that...
I agree.
Q: Is it normal for an organizations propaganda to be included in the regular daily school season for such a long duration?
Q: What would you do as a parent?
Maybe contact school to see if there's an "opt out" option?

1- its only for four days. the topic may not even turn propaganda, thats why its necessary to monitor the assignments and ensure nothing sneaky is happening.
2- show my child the opposite of gun grabber propaganda based on examples from our daily lives in which they go to the range with me, and see me carrying a gun, and know and understand gun safety. The only way to combat bad ideas is to present good ideas and let them learn for themselves and make up their own mind. Ultimately they are their own person and I want them to be free to come to their own conclusions based on life experiences, even if their opinions aren't in concert with my own.

You know, they really were absolute motherfkers. The amount of various torture devices created throughout history just, basically, for fun, is pretty vile. I mean let's be honest it's pretty easy to come up with a straight forward way to torture somebody. The thought and engineering put into some of the devices was simply demented, nasty people having fun with it. Brazen bull is probably the worst one I can think of really.
And to think, some deviants out there let women lock them into those devices for some sort of sexual thrill.
Those people walk among us. Crazy.
