Tell me about it. Do you remember how fun a soda can tennis ball cannon is? These PC police have taken all the joy out of everything. It's more of that shared misery thing they love so much.

Only true of those liberals having conservative traits...
Narrow views and reading are inherently conservative.
Narrow views are not a stronghold of conservativism. Liberals also like to keep a narrow viewpoint. It makes it easier for them to ignore common sense and logic. The only ones who tend to look at the big picture are the moderates, and they are denigrated by both sides for not toeing a party line.
A science teacher in Los Angeles has been suspended because his students constructed a project designed to help them understand linear acceleration - which staff at the school described as an "electric coil gun".
This liberal zero-tolerance nonsense is really getting out of hand if students can't even be taught scientific principles without some hand-wringing "protector" getting their panties in a wad.
The protesting students have more maturity than the school administrators.
This is pretty ridiculous and way overboard. I do think some of these policies are in place because they are afraid of getting sued by parents. I don't get this one though
For poisoning kids minds with their liberal agenda. The "hands on" part of school turned into brain-dead computer labs. The things I learned in school back then landed me a career and a pretty good job later in life.
Guess what, I still have that custom red oak nightstick. It never hurt anyone.
Maybe you should become a teacher and change things...
Maybe would should allow chatter schools and voucher so parents can send their kids to a school of their choosing..
Love that Chatter schools. Teach kids to emulate gunlover and Harrier...talk a lot make no sense. Chatter.
