“Is our children learning?” is what President George W. Bush famously said. Sure, it was badly expressed and misinterpreted by the liberal elite members of society, but we all got the gist. Are children in public schools today actually getting a real and useful education?
America is slowly turning into a nation of rebellious teenagers, kids continuing on to be “massage therapists” and “professional basket weavers”. Are schools the problem?
Mother of three teenagers Sandra Batt thinks so. After touring the kid’s school for a day, she found some “suspect” books in the school library that convinced her of shady goings-on. Including the notorious terrorist tome “The Anarchist’s Cookbook.”
“Why is this book here in a place where just any kid could check it out and read it?” she asks. “Is just pell-mell reading of any book anywhere now a human right I’ve never heard of?”
The short answer is yes, yes it is. Part of education is reading books. Books have information inside of them that people may not have heard of before. Even if they have a controversial title that scares mommies.
Recently, many school libraries across the country have engaged in book banning, which is perhaps the most ignorant and unamerican thing ever. Our children are not priceless Ming vases.
The book has existed for decades and very few “terrorist acts” made use of any of it’s material. It was written by hippies in the sixties. It’s protected by the first amendment. You people remember that one, right?
The biggest threat to our democracy today is paranoid Republican nutbags. Not China or Russia.
Who would you rather see at your door with a gun?
