To each is given a box
of tools, a soul to save, and a set of rules.
And each must fashion,
'ere life has flown, a stumbling block - or a stepping stone.
COMMON
SENSE:
In America, kids have been going to school since the Pilgrims and Puritans
settled in Massachusetts nearly four hundred years ago, and guns have always
been part of our culture. If weapons are the problem, then why hasn't there
been shootings in schools since the beginning? Why is this a recent phenomenon
of the past quarter century and not a consistent problem throughout our
history?
The
answer is simple, but our politically-correct Progressive leaders do not want
to hear it. From the 1620s forward, schools inculcated the virtues of
patriotism, moral rectitude, and American exceptionalism into students. It was
foundational to our entire educational system, and all of this was based on the
value of the Judeo-Christian ethic. It worked well for more than
three-and-a-half centuries, as evidenced by the fact that there were never mass
shootings at schools until recently.In the twenty-first century, the Judeo-Christian model is no longer taught. In fact, it is being repudiated daily in favor of Progressive values that eschew patriotism, mock traditional morality, and repudiate the value of American leadership. More than half of Millennials are ashamed of being an American, which is a complete reversal from what earlier generations of kids believed.
We are producing disconnected, alienated kids by the millions, while simultaneously being clueless about why they are so narcissistic. We have created an entire generation of self-serving brats who have few work skills but believe they are entitled to wealth without earning it The ones that aren't drugged up have no coping skills, while those who are drugged up live in a perpetual fog.
Because we are unable, or unwilling, to place the blame where it belongs—on our flawed and broken educational system—we blame guns instead. The fools in our Progressive media insist that the problem will be solved by disarming Americans, but that will only make it worse. Instead, what we need to do is return to the model that worked for centuries, but that's not going to happen—not unless there is a complete transformation of our societal values. Christians have a word for this—repentance, but repentance requires virtues the Progressives do not possess.
I have painted a bleak picture because our future will be bleak without such a transformation.
