Answer me this, would you rather have a violent person protect you against a threat that you yourself can't take on, or would you like a person who gets offended that you call someone you don't even know a wrong pronoun, or people who cry that they have to work a 9 to 5?

I know the story. It wasn't an overreaction. The kid was on a behavior contract and, as you've mentioned, had a history of being a little shit. Like a week before he'd gotten in trouble for hitting another kid. The poptart incident isn't "oh this poor child bit his poptart into the shape of a gun he was just playing" It's "This child bit his poptart into the shape of a gun, started running around the classroom, getting in other children's faces and screaming "BANG BANG! I'M GONNA KILL YOU" at them". The poptart was irrelevant to the story and just muddies things, the real issue is that he was screaming in other kid's ears, running around the classroom like a terror, and just being completely out of control. There'd recently been a school shooting too iirc so the kid was intentionally invoking that sort of thing to harass his peers. Didn't listen to the teacher when he was told to sit down. Was on the last chance of his behaviour contract because he kept doing this shit. Honestly the other kids have a right to a quiet and safe classroom. Kid was rightfully booted and the parents kicked up a fuss because parents of shitty kids always do that. That's why their kids are shitty in the first place.

Our parents forced us to quit the game after that since the guy was such a grade-a curmudgeon that they had no other viable option. If I was able to go back in time I'd be tempted to confiscate that kid's stick myself and give the grandpa a nice, long lecture that it's actually *his* fault he's not playing with or reprimanding/guiding his grandchild who was both way too old to behave that badly towards others in that manner and to still be slobbering all over other kid's crayons.

As a man that when I was a boy had huge issues with violence and aggression as a child, I had to learn how to correctly control, redirect and manage my feelings at a pretty young age. As a father the one thing I want to pass on to my child the most is the ability to self reflect and rationalize what is going on and then redirect that energy into something productive, you can be a "strong man" by taking a step back considering the reason someone is doing something, taking a deep breath and then considering how to relate with them to solve the problem rather than punching them in the face cause you had a mis-understanding. Violence, Aggression and Unbridled ambition are only valuable if you also have self control, no one is suggesting that people can change how they feel, but an adult human being should at the very least have enough control over how they behave such that they don't harm another person. If you are a person and you can't control how you express how you are feeling, you are danger to society.

I worked in an elementary school in a very liberal area of the US for a couple years, so like I know I'm preaching to the choir but just to counter some of what I heard: 1. Teachers and schools ARE pretty ill-equipped to deal with energetic students (ie all of them). Some teachers redirect it by keeping the learning dynamic but honestly doing that day in and day out with so little structural support is exhausting. (also, students not being able to sit still is less gendered than you might expect, but girls are definitely punished harsher for it) 2. The banning of tag sounds silly, but there's probably more going on there. The grade I taught was banned from soccer for awhile because kids kept getting into fist fights over it. The tag ban could be an overreacting administrator, it's just very case-by-case. 3. I didn't have a kid draw any beheadings or make a poptart gun, but I did have one tell the superintendent that he wanted to be an assassin when he grew up. That same kid got suspended for bringing a Death Note to school. I don't think the suspension helped, and I'm glad that the beheading kid's parents got brought in! It could be that everything is totally fine with this kid, or it could be that they're watching ISIS beheadings before they go to bed. The teachers and parents just have different sets of information, it's good that they're communicating. 4. Reading curricula try pretty hard to pick books that have appeal for boys and girls. But the content of the book effects student enthusiasm much less than the pedagogy of the teacher. 4a. The My Teacher Is an Alien series fucking slaps and I highly recommend it to any upper-elementary/lower-middle school readers. 5. The threat of shootings makes education a lot worse. Anytime there was a worry about an intruder in the building, it was hard for me to shake the knowledge that I was responsible for my kids' lives. I would've taken a bullet for any of them, but having that thought in the back of your head makes it hard to have the patience with your students that you should. Also makes it hard to focus on fractions. 6. Even in liberal schools, it's not like traditional gender roles are gone. The girls read to little kids and the boys help put gym equipment away. What was heartening was seeing gnc kids well-integrated into the classroom. Nobody cared about the "girl" that liked when people used he/him pronouns. Nobody bullied the boy that was obsessed with mermaids and Monster High. Kids would sort of use gay as an insult, but there were plenty of students with well-known same-sex crushes and I never saw any of them get bullied for it. I've heard this was less true in district middle schools but you gotta start somewhere. Anyway, schools are bad for kids in a lot of ways. They're especially bad for poor kids, kids who can't sit still, and kids who don't speak English. Girls and boys are favored in different ways but gender is probably one of the least important demographics when it comes to teacher bias.

7:08 For anyone still wondering about this story, it was a 7 year old kid (i'm leaving his name out) at Park Elementary School in Brooklyn Park, Maryland. There is a lot more to the story that national news did not bother covering. The most important thing is that he was not suspended for just brandishing a simulated weapon, he was suspended for a very long list (the exact list is confidential) of classroom disruptions, with the FINALY disruption being brandishing a simulated weapon. and it wasn't him silently playing with food during lunch, he disrupted his classroom with the simulated weapon. And that is the legal term that most schools use for a "toy gun", simulated weapon. It means that even pointing your fingers like a gun is a simulated weapon, and kids have been disciplined for doing that. And yeah, Australia doesn't care about simulated weapons because they don't have school shootings constantly. In the US teachers and school admin are insane about cracking down on ANY kind of simulated weapon for fear of being accused of missing something when a school shooting does happen. This has nothing to do with actually preventing a shooting, just to cover the admin when they do happen. But in this specific case, it was the teacher punishing the kid for disrupting his class over and over again, and it just so happens that the final rule the teacher used was a simulated weapon one. In other words, the real news story is that a kid was a little disruptive asshole and the teacher suspended him after the 9 millionth disruption. But that story doesn't punch as hard as "Kid gets banned for chewing a pop tart!" also it wasn't even a pop tart lol. And no, there has never been a shooting at Park Elementary School in Maryland. But Maryland has had numerous shootings at other schools. Baltimore is Maryland, and just a few weeks ago there was a mass shooting at a block part with 30 people shot and 2 dead. In 2022, just in Baltimore, 293 people were shot to death (that includes suicides and gang violence).

An interesting thing: the first prageru ad I saw was something essentially saying kids need to go outside more. That’s something I 100% agree with. The video then goes on to show multiple lib newspapers running articles about the dangerous outdoors to prove those newspapers don’t want people outside or whatever. I doubt it was intentional but if I didn’t know better having this video as my first exposure to prageru would have given me a bias towards them because if I didn’t pick up on their intentions I would immediately think “oh wow those newspapers are fucked up trying to keep people inside”. It kinda shows how people could be duped into trusting them, with a slow burn from negative portrayal of dumb lib newspapers to extreme transphobic bs.

I hate that pragerus idea of what makes a man is purely based on their combat ability. Like we don't need warriors when we have literal nukes and drones doing all the work. There is more value to be added to society than just combat obsessed lunatics.

I remember drawing a sword that had flame on it during math class and my teacher reported me to the principle... The reason was that i was depicting dangerous weaponry within a classroom setting... this was in highschool... The principle told me that he would keep this in my permanent record(With a photo copied picture of my drawing) and I was sent back to the math class without being able to defend myself...🤡

[@Allen667sjja]

This is the best birthday gift I could ever get. Dodge ball got banned at my elementary school, middle school, and high school. But tug of war and tag are still allowed.

I love how PragerU presents the teachers reaction to a boy biting a pop tart into a gun shape as the problem, when the real problems are the mass shootings that happen on a daily basis. Like, the teacher probably wouldn't react that way if they weren't genuinely afraid that the kid is gonna show up with a fucking machine gun one day.

[@izak5356]

For sure. Btw, a machine gun is a select fire or full auto only weapon that is usually belt fed, can fire on full auto for an extended period of time, and is too large to practically fire from a standing, non-stationary position. Assault rifles are select fire and both are almost exclusively available to the military unless you jump through prohibitively expensive and time consuming hoops. Pretty much all mass shootings are carried out with semi-automatic high capacity rifles like AR-15s, and conservatives will always direct the conversation away from the actual issue and say some dumbass version of "lmao it's not a machine gun, you clearly know nothing about this topic" instead of addressing the actual issue of US gun laws and availabilit, as usual. Best to understand and use accurate gun terminology when discussing the matter so that they have as little as possible to derail the discussion with and reinforce their bizarre strawman of gun hating libs that know nothing about guns but think they know how they should be regulated. Of course they'll generally just do so regardless so it's questionable as to whether there is even a point to engaging with em if they're not a friend or family member. But yeah, fully agree, intellectually dishonest and morally bankrupt morons who go out of their way to portray issues as dishonestly at possible and are a huge source of conservative propaganda.

[@gunt-her]

I think it's more of a media issue, they whip the public into a panic by greatly exagerating the risks, and they give the shooter way too much attention, which is a major motivator for a lot of them.
