Just what we need. Jihadis driving our school buses. (sm)

He's already got his commercial license to drive semis, now he's got school buses in his cross hairs.

All I keep hearing on the news these days is why aren't people noticing things BEFORE these senseless murders are committed. Why didn't someone "see the signs" BEFORE the schmuck killed the news reporter and her photographer, the cop killer in Houston last night, the cop killer in Louisiana a couple days ago, etc., etc.? In the case of this article, THE SIGNS ARE IN PLAIN SIGHT and they are being ignored. In fact, the loony leftwing extremist ACLU is in bed with this would-be jihadi. When are we going to wake up? This is a frightening reality that could and should be avoided at all costs!

American citizens. Are you saying confiscate their guns? - No, No! NRA

[ In Reply To ..]
I happen to think all crazies should have their guns taken away--This would include those who have restraining orders, those who have been hospitalized for threatening suicide or homicide, convicted of violent crimes, DWI, etc. I agree these people should not have guns, but the NRA says No!

I am guessing that is about 220,000 bus loads of illegal immigrants.

Mischaracterization. Look back to the 1960s, many - people had a gun and nothing

like this was going on. So what is causing this anger, stress or mental illness. Our food, GMO, all the chemicals in our foods? Could it be the pharma companies and doctors prescribing all kinds of drugs?

Is it an ever-changing barrage of regulations and social mores with no rhyme or reason?

I'd rather live next to an NRA member than a pacifist. I'd feel safer in this world.

We live in a culture that thinks a lunchbox with a superhero - on it is violent. No kidding,

Where are the facts involving this? What school/school system? Where? Just an unfounded rumor, probably posted on Reddit to stir things up.

I had a Davie Crocket lunchbox. I bet that's a huge - no-no now.

Here's something worse. Professors threaten bad grades - for saying "illegal alien"

[ In Reply To ..]
at Washington State.

Multiple professors at Washington State University have explicitly told students their grades will suffer if they use terms such as “illegal alien,” "male," and “female,” or if they fail to “defer” to non-white students.

According to the syllabus for Selena Lester Breikss’ “Women & Popular Culture” class, students risk a failing grade if they use any common descriptors that Breikss considers “oppressive and hateful language.”

"Students will come to recognize how white privilege functions in everyday social structures and institutions.” Tweet This

The punishment for repeatedly using the banned words, Breikss warns, includes “but [is] not limited to removal from the class without attendance or participation points, failure of the assignment, and— in extreme cases— failure for the semester.”

Breikss is not the only WSU faculty member implementing such policies.

Much like in Selena Breikss’s classroom, students taking Professor Rebecca Fowler’s “Introduction to Comparative Ethnic Studies” course will see their grades suffer if they use the term “illegal alien” in their assigned writing.

According to her syllabus, students will lose one point every time they use the words “illegal alien” or “illegals” rather than the preferred terms of “‘undocumented’ migrants/immigrants/persons.” Throughout the course, Fowler says, students will “come to recognize how white privilege functions in everyday social structures and institutions.”

In an email to Campus Reform, Fowler complained that “the term ‘illegal alien’ has permeated dominant discourses that circulate in the news to the extent that our society has come to associate ALL unauthorized border crossings with those immigrants originating from countries south of our border (and not with Asian immigrants, for example, many of whom are also in the country without legal documents and make up a considerable portion of undocumented immigrants living in the country).”

“The socio-legal production of migrant illegality works to systematically dehumanize and exploit these brown bodies for their labor,” Fowler continued.

White students in Professor John Streamas’s “Introduction to Multicultural Literature” class, are expected to “defer” to non-white students, among other community guidelines, if they want “to do well in this class.”

In the guidelines in his syllabus, Streamas elaborates that he requires students to “reflect” on their grasp of history and social relations “by respecting shy and quiet classmates and by deferring to the experiences of people of color.”

Streamas—who previously generated controversy by calling a student a “white shitbag” and declared that WSU should stand for “White Supremacist University”—also demands that students “understand and consider the rage of people who are victims of systematic injustice.”

Later in the syllabus, Streamas goes even further and accuses Glenn Beck of being an “insensitive white.”

Several other WSU professors require their students to “acknowledge that racism, classism, sexism, heterosexism, and other institutionalized forms of oppression exist” or that “we do not live in a post-racial world.”

Ari Cohn, a lawyer with the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, told Campus Reform he considers such requirements to be contradictory, even given the sensitive nature of the courses.

Why do parents pay for classes like this is - a mystery to me.

Walk in another's shoes - Certificate of attendance

[ In Reply To ..]
Do you not get that the point of the class is the experience of being the minority? Do you recall the school classes where the people with blue eyes were treated as superior to students with brown eyes?

How about the class where students were given a baby doll so they could learn what it was like to care for a baby 24/7?

I think a lot of people could use a class on what it is like to be treated constantly as inferior.

In college? Are you kidding? This is kindergarten - stuff.

We have a culture that glorifies violence in movies, music, - etc. Listen to the words in rap, most

of it is about violence and sex.
That's one thing that's different than from the 60s.

Of course people don't like to hear this, but we've taken God out of everything.

So what's the solution? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
You say "we've taken God out of everything." Do we force people to attend church? Do we mix religion and government?

For starters we need to admit there's a cause and - effect, a right and a wrong,

[ In Reply To ..]
a good and an evil.

There is a spiritual dimension to this, but people - don't want to admit it.

All you have to do is look at Planned Parenthood - without any moral values for life

and the people and politicians who support them.

What's your solution? Many people in the 1960s - didn't go to church but

[ In Reply To ..]
violence has increased dramatically. Why do you think that is?

This has gotten worse since The Teleprompter - has been in office. He's dividing us

[ In Reply To ..]
The first thing he did when he got in office was send the statue of Winston Churchill back to Britain. It's gone downhill since then.

I attually heard an FBI profiler say basically the - same thing a few years ago.

[ In Reply To ..]
I went to a seminar about profiling serial killers. He also mentioned how pornography was to blame.

It seems like people think they have to "protect" - politicians from God

[ In Reply To ..]
because that's their interpretation of the 1st amendment.

Intent is not always apparent. Look at the 9-11 - bombers who got on an airplane.

[ In Reply To ..]
You can't always prevent a tragedy.

As far as people convicted of violent crimes, they are forbidden from owning a firearm already. People can get guns on the black market, just like alcohol during prohibition.

We truly have become a ship of fools. Politics has - become nothing but a reality show

with too many dumbed down people who don't realize how different America was from the rest of history. Self realization, independence, self determination, NO GUARANTEES. It was a nice try.
