Yukon high school and self defense

[cichlid-dave]

I was watching kfor and they had a news story showing a video of 2 sisters attacking another girl. The story always about the girl being attacked and how she would have been suspended along with her attackers. The girl took a nasty beating and if she had stood up and was suspended and was my daughter I would award her for defending herself.

The school policy is crazy in teaching our kids not to defend themselves.

That's the entire point of the school system. Raise a bunch of sheep who can't think for themselves and don't resist.

And we wonder why some go crazy and become sociopaths.

I wouldn't say "That's the point" but it IS the effect. It amazes me how easily parents, who mostly want the best for their kids, allow schools to run amok indoctrinating kids into patently erroneous concepts. I am not talking religion or politics even just basic behavior - the right to defend oneself, courtesy and self-restraint - all are basically disallowed outright or treated as quaint notions of unsophisticated people.

That happened to my son at yukon shools also. Now I believe violence/fighting is the last resort, but I will never come down on my son or daughters for defending themselves. I give a damn what the school policy says they are not going to take bulling period.

I teach my kids the same thing I was told. You do whatever you need to defend yourself. Mom and Dad will take care of the rest.

Zero tolerance policies are piss ignorant. Yet they run amok in the public school system. Really lends little faith in the administrators that enforce such backwards policies.

Man I hate to hear this about Yukon Schools, times have sure changed.

Looking back on my school years I should have taken less crap off people than I did. I agree with the defend yourself statement.

+1 When my son was in school I told him that if he ever fights back he won't be in trouble with me.
