[GOYABEAN]

I smell lawsuits

 

[Uzi]

I use to draw submachine guns in highschool and sell the drawings to classmates. I wonder how that'd go down nowadays.

 

[Big John]

This is why School districts should NOT be autonomist, if this was my child not only would he be back in that school but the admin would be fired. Not to mention I would have nothing better to do with my day than go there and keep a watch out for assholic behavior!

 

[Greywolf224]

A defamation of character lawsuit definitely in order. I can understand the school being vigilant on want to be shooters But this is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Cleck]

How dare a student present points that counter any fine institutions anti-gun stance? How dare he do research that far exceeds any research a school won't do on this topic? HOW DARE HE?

 

[Celt]

Im drafting an email right now...

 

[Mike.s]

Guess the term point/counterpoint doesn't exist in school's curriculum

 

[BerettaGuy]

Now now people. Violence is never acceptable! Yes I support Free Speech and the Constitution but this student needs to learn that to be successful in today's Red Onzie Metro Sexual All Inclusive Tolerant Society, you must comply or die.

 

[Phazer]

This is the Left's long term strategy. Leftist educators already "know" that firearms are always evil. Therefore, anybody that supports private use or ownership of firearms must be psychologically unstable. THIS must be reinforced to all students at all times. Eventually, suitably indoctrinated citizens will no longer want to own firearms and a principle tenet of the Liberal Progressive utopia will be forevermore part of our national psyche.

 

[Cleck]

I say if anyone comes up with a well thought out and worded email, that we should consider sharing it. Maybe add our own twist to it, also add that we're NY Gun Forum members, let them know how poor of a job they're doing as educators in treating this kid like this. This is definitely unacceptable.

 

[Phazer]

This is the antithesis of everything I experienced in high school....in Maryland of all places.

When I severely criticized a classic literary work that the teacher liked, I was not chastised. Instead, she told me that my report on the book should be a well-referenced criticism of the work and should be based on comments by expert literary critics from the time that the book was originally released in the late 1920s.

Frankly, this is NJ case should spark a high school debate topic: RESOLVED - Gun control legislation decreases violent crime. Then, let the affirmative and negative sides go at it. That would have been the kind of debate team topic that we would have had when I was in high school. I guess that I'm just an uneducated, misinformed, relic. But...I'd still debate the NJ "educators" anytime anywhere.

 

[Big John]

If ever I had a tough letter to write, this is it. My challenge is to convince you that to the fullest extent that my age and health will permit, I will yank up the worst sorts of unsavory nutters there are from the dark rocks under which they hide and flaunt them before the bright sunshine of public exposure. I will start this discussion by arguing that Ms. Anne R. Facendo justifies her biggety nature by denying that she has been working overtime to undermine serious institutional and economic analyses and replace them with a diverting soap opera of damnable conspiracies. Then, I will present evidence that the majority of crass plutocrats probably agree that it is neither possible nor desirable to ignore the issue of moral relativism here. Or, to express that sentiment without all of the emotionally charged lingo, I once overheard her say something quite astonishing. Are you strapped in? She said that elected national governments are not accountable to their own people. Can you believe that? At least her statement made me realize that even if one isn't completely conversant with current events, the evidence overwhelmingly indicates that I don't know what bothers me most about her. Is it her specious arguments, her illogical reasoning, her obscurantist claims, her unreasonable speculations, or any of the many forms of pseudoscholarship we see in her agendas? In any case, Ms. Facendo has not yet been successful at encouraging and exacerbating passivity in some people who might otherwise be active and responsible citizens. Still, give her some time, and I'm sure she'll figure out how to do something at least that obtuse, probably more so. In any event, Ms. Facendo likes to talk about how she can absorb mana by devouring her opponents' brains. The words sound pretty until you read between the lines and see that Ms. Facendo is secretly saying that she intends to see to it that all patriotic endeavors are directed down blind alleys where they end in frustration and discouragement.

Many institutions define “harassment” as “unwanted conduct that annoys, threatens, or alarms a person or group.” Based on that definition, Ms. Facendo's shifting blame from those who benefit from oppression to those who suffer from it is doubtlessly an ophidian form of harassment. We need to make people aware of her harassing behavior and, more specifically, inform them that if she goes ahead with subjecting people to daily verbal, behavioral, and environmental indignities, I will be very, very angry with her. In fact, I will write her a letter telling her how angry I am. I hope that will convince Ms. Facendo that she has been relying on the psychological effects of terror to magnify the localized effects of her sottises so that, like a stone hurled into a pool of water, shock waves ripple from the epicenter of Ms. Facendo's attacks to the furthest reaches of the Earth. This outrageous conduct indicates to me that Ms. Facendo is afflicted with what I call Priggism Addiction Disorder. Symptoms include loss of control, craving and withdrawal symptoms, social isolation, excessive financial debt, and an insatiable desire to divert our attention from serious issues. The only known cure is for Ms. Facendo to admit that every time she tells her deputies that she would sooner give up money, fame, power, and happiness than perform an uncouth act, their eyes roll into the backs of their heads as they become mindless receptacles of unsubstantiated information, which they accept without question.

People who know me know that I'm very observant. I can identify a villainous oniomaniac merely by spotting certain turns of phrase, certain sentence constructions, certain ways of being. I can therefore indeed conclude that Ms. Facendo is the most villainous oniomaniac of them all and that she wants you to believe that if she kicks us in the teeth we'll then lick her toes and beg for another kick. You should be wary of such claims. Be aware! Be skeptical! Think! Do not be diverted, deceived, or mesmerized by Ms. Facendo's abysmal double standards.

Ms. Facendo says that she is a woman of morality, achievements, and noble qualities, one who often sacrifices her own reputation or safety in order to pursue that which is right and those things that truly matter. But then she turns around and says that she values our perspectives. You know, you can't have it both ways, Ms. Facendo. Her principles are as predictable as sunrise. Whenever I reveal the constant tension between centripetal and centrifugal forces of dialogized heteroglossia resulting from her blanket statements, Ms. Facendo's invariant response is to feed us a diet of robbery, murder, violence, and all other manner of trials and tribulations. Although I prefer appealing to evidence and logic, Ms. Facendo is driven purely by emotion and anxiety. That's why it's hard to convince her that her cronies have been waxing stridently about fainéantism, Ms. Facendo's conceits, and why Ms. Facendo should relegate persons to the status of things. Meanwhile, I, for one, have been getting people to sign a petition to limit Ms. Facendo's ability to cause trouble. What do I hope to achieve by doing such a thing? I hope to achieve widespread recognition that Ms. Facendo uses a rather directionless definition of “incomprehensibleness”. Well, that's getting away from my main topic, which is that she avows that our freedoms should survive on the crumbs that fall from the banquet table of ruffianism. I respond that many of the dishonest practitioners of lexiphanicism I've encountered are convinced that it's illegal to exemplify civility, kindness, empathy, and fairness—or, if it isn't illegal, then it ought to be. This view is irritable by any stretch of the imagination and reflects how Ms. Facendo has said that “the truth”, “the whole truth”, and “nothing but the truth” are three different things. Furthermore, the language Ms. Facendo used to say that demonstrates collectivism and maybe the onset of early senility.

And what about Ms. Facendo's coadjutors? They, like Ms. Facendo, are loathsome layabouts. She is willing to use any method, no matter how scientifically unsupported and disreputable, to confirm her a priori beliefs. It's that simple. This is a suitable place in the letter to explain how she is full of angst and passion and venom. Unfortunately, I'll have to skip that rather intersting discussion because I have bigger fish to fry. In particular, I need to tell you that Ms. Facendo insists that an open party with unlimited access to alcohol can't possibly outgrow the host's ability to manage the crowd. Although I've already discussed the abject fallaciousness of that argument, the fact remains that the really interesting thing about all this is not that there's a lot of support from orgulous, uncontrollable nose-in-the-air snobs and her torchbearers (mostly synonymous) for gaining a respectable foothold for her liberticidal litanies. The interesting thing is that if her effrontive magic-bullet explanations became more widespread, it would spell the ruination of this country. Never before have I written so long a letter. I'm afraid it is much too long to take your precious time. I can assure you that it would have been much shorter if I had not been so preoccupied with Ms. Anne R. Facendo 's attempts to make life less pleasant for us. I apologize, and I thank you for your attention.

Scott Pakin's automatic complaint-letter generator I forgot all about this place.

 

[Criticalt]

I use to draw submachine guns in highschool and sell the drawings to classmates. I wonder how that'd go down nowadays.

In our 9th grade history class our teacher, Mr Radaker brought in some of his 1800s collection including saddle bags, civil war surgical kit, Winchester Rifle, Springfield trap door rifle and 2 cap and ball pistols.

 

[meketrefe]

Lets propose some new after school programs...

 

[soylentBlue]

In middle school, we had a few guys from a Civil War re-enactment group do a demonstration on the school soccer field that included loading and firing drills. (Live powder, but firing only the paper of the cartridge as a projectile)

 

[Phazer]

Lets propose some new after school programs...

This would be great.

If anyone can find a school in my area willing to start a riflery program, I'll sponsor the initial startup costs.

 

[Uzi]

We did archery in school which was kind of cool Except after everyday I'd have fiberglass embedded in some part of my hand or wrist. My fault of course.

 

[Cooolone]

Simply amazing... So now, if I was writing a fictional booklet as part of a writing project and it included a Texas Chainsaw scenario the administration of a school could demand psyche evaluation? Or make a drawing of a devil and people burning in hell? Or draw a cartoon pic of Hitlery with a bullet hole in her head?...

Such sad sheeple!

 

[Eddie Gunks]

This would be great.

Ny law says that is x # of students (5 or 10? I cant remember). What a shooting class/sport then one canbe granted.

Hows that? Nice! Check it out. They brought it up at mygun club last year.

 

[Catskillkid]

I don't know what this kid had on that flash drive but unless it was a blueprint for the mass shooting he was going to commit (I highly doubt that) then it's just that...another student research project. My God, they should be glad the kid was actually doing research! How many kids barely crack a book anymore. It's almost like they want students to just parrot back information and not think for themselves.

Oh wait, that is what they want isn't it?

 

[meketrefe]

I VANT LAWYER!!

I'm going to try to get one going in my school district. I want my son to try to get it done when he reaches high school. They have a gay club so why not n

 

[Nevar]

When I went to High school , they had a shooting club. Seniors only with all kinds of parental permission.. It included hours of class room safety before you even touched a rifle, which was bolt action ,single shot .22 only. Range in the basement was second to none. The waiting list to get on it started out when you were a freshman.
Well the year I got to join it [ 1968] , some dick bitched and they stopped it. So they went to archery in the same range.. More students got injured [ not seriously] in a few months as compared to all the years with Guns. [ never one]
Funny thing, at the time there were more than a few guys with gun racks and GUNS in there Pick ups.

 

[Acer-m14]

When i was in HS .. i broke the stock on a old bolt 12ga .. broke it down to parts .. got on the bus , bus driver dropped me off at the back school door by the wood shop .. carried it in to the shop teach .. here is my note from dad .. made a new stock .. wasn't the greatest but i learned .. .. ohhh the good old days ..
