How precious that the bureaucratic numbskulls have an 11 year old hauled off in handcuffs -- for a DRAWING!!! What about the freedom of speech that these brain-dead, liberal creeps keep squawking about?? Perversions of religious icons entrenched in filth are lovingly protected by these oh-so-modern and "accepting" leftists - as long as the subject tends to diminish and pervert those segments of our civilization which are considered good, and clean. But NOT the right of a boy to draw an image of a GUN! No first amendment rights there - because it goes against the left-wing, anti-Constitution, NWO, one world agenda of the controlling bureaucrats. UN gun registration, control, and confiscation is a primary goal right now. Things like this are happening at an ever-increasing rate, and the press and media tend to accept it as normal, and even desirable. The "zero-tolerance" lunacy has become the new Mantra of the educational bureaucracy. No pictures. No finger-pointing. No kisses on the cheek by a 6 year old boy to a 6 year old girl. That will not be tolerated. Bureaucracy-generated sexual courses of every description as well as free artifacts, however, are acceptable. Notice that in the following ..."after classmates told school officials about the drawings." "There were some drawings that were confiscated by the teacher," Classmates turned the criminal in. Fine. Now we have citizens, neighbors, CHILDREN encouraged to turn in to "authorities" anyone who violates the "zero-tolerance" mandate. Sound familiar? Germany, 1930's? Their major thrust was total gun confiscation, also. Notice that the teacher "confiscated" the drawings. Obviously, important evidence, for the trial. WHERE did "zero tolerance" come from? Why have we let it become an entrenched foundation of all school life, reaching its slimy roots down to the first grade and kindergarten? Americans, we are fast asleep -- changes to our basic lifestyle and beliefs are occurring at an ever-increasing rate. Freedoms of every description are being curtailed as though part of an avalanche. What is happening to our beloved country, and why are so few noticing? Read the Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, and see how many of them have been the target of the Legislative, the Judicial, the press, the media, and the educational cartel.

[Note from Matthew Gaylor: This is the second child removed from class for drawing weapons in Florida. The first example involved a nine-year-old boy in Bunnell, Fla see: http://www.townhall.com/columnists/kathleenparker/printkp20010319.shtm l . Public schools have adopted a zero tolerance policy that has caused me to adopt a zero tolerance policy of my own in the form of voting no for any public school funding issue. I've said it before, but I consider it a form of child abuse if you send your child to one.] Subject: Student removed from class because of drawings Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2001 22:02 -0400 This St. Petersburg Times (http://www.sptimes.com) story has been sent to you from "Gillmor, Dan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- http://www.sptimes.com/News/051101/TampaBay/Student_removed_from_.shtml Student removed from class because of drawings By ED QUIOCO and JULIE CHURCH © St. Petersburg Times, published May 11, 2001 The principal at Oldsmar Elementary says the 11-year-old probably won't return for the rest of the year. OLDSMAR -- A fifth-grader was taken from Oldsmar Elementary School in handcuffs Wednesday after a teacher found drawings he had made of weapons, school officials said. The 11-year-old, who is not being named because of his age, was not charged with a crime. The boy was taken to meet with his parents and counselors after classmates told school officials about the drawings. "There were some drawings that were confiscated by the teacher," principal David Schmitt said. "The children were in no danger at all. It involved no real weapons." The boy has received a discipline that Schmitt said he couldn't discuss. But he said the boy probably won't return for the rest of the year and probably would be moved to another school. The boy was handcuffed by campus police for his safety and not because the student was violent or out of control, said school district spokesman Ron Stone. "That's normal procedure in a situation like this," Stone said. "The primary concern was to make sure we get appropriate services for the child." It is not unusual for students in elementary and middle schools to make threats, said Nancy Zambito, a director of school operations for the school district. The typical procedure involves immediately notifying a campus police officer or a school resource officer, counselors and the student's parents to "assess the threat and work with the child," she said. Depending on the severity of the threat, Zambito said, the outcome for the student can be a number of things ranging from disciplinary action by the school, such as suspension or expulsion, to being arrested or taken to a hospital under Florida's Baker Act, which allows for the involuntary commitment of people who threaten or attempt to hurt themselves or others. "It's nothing unusual and we address them all seriously because, of course, we don't know," Zambito said. "And in most cases, our prime goal is to let those students know what is appropriate to say and what is not and how to be angry and cute and funny without alarming people." The classmates who turned in the student after seeing his drawings should be commended because that was the right thing to do, Schmitt said. "All I can tell you is it was a threat . . . against students," he said. "Nobody in particular, but students in general." Schmitt planned to send a letter home to parents Thursday letting them know generally what had happened. "We just need to get it through kids' heads that there are certain things you don't say and there are certain things you don't draw," he said. - Staff writer Richard Danielson contributed to this report. __________________________________________________________________________ Distributed without profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving the included information for research and educational purposes. --- ************************************************************************** Subscribe to Freematt's Alerts: Pro-Individual Rights Issues Send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words subscribe FA on the subject line.
