A Testimony of Government Schools


A Testimony of Government Schools by Bill Wilson

A Testimony of Government Schoolsny to the nation's government school system in so many ways. We had kids across the nation participating in some sort of protest about guns. In New York City, the mayor, a gun control advocate, encouraged kids to leave school for the protest. Teachers and administrators also encouraged the kids to protest. They want to ban guns.

So they are using their First Amendment rights of free speech and assembly to call for the government to take away their 2nd Amendment rights that were put in place to guarantee that the government wouldn't take away their First Amendment rights. Sounds pretty stupid, right? Well, that's a testimony to our government schools.

New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo participated with students in a "Die In" protest against guns. But testifying even further than his political statement were the presence of his armed security guards not far in the background. In fact, there are many pointing fingers at the leftist Democrat Party apparatus for organizing the protests and manipulating students.

When you have celebrities, teachers, school administrators and even governors of states who are all part of the Democratic Party encouraging students to walk out of school to protest gun ownership, it begs the question who is behind this and what the real reason is. Is it to protect students in schools, or deconstruct the Constitution?

Moreover, the House of Representatives passed window-dressing legislation 407-10. FOX News reports, "The STOP School Violence Act will offer $50 million annually to states to help train students, teachers and law enforcement to prevent violence and suicides in schools. The program would train students, school personnel and local police on how to identify warning signs and intervene to stop violence and suicide. It would also help develop and implement anonymous reporting systems for threats of school violence."

President Donald Trump's White House announced plans to train teachers for carrying handguns, add more armed officers to the schools, and seizing guns from "potentially dangerous individuals."

Here is what you have: Socialists, anarchists and communists manipulating students into using their First Amendment rights to demand their Second Amendment rights be taken away; Politicians, thinking they need to do something to appease voters ahead of mid-term elections, passing bills that only expand federal authority over government schools, spend more tax money, but do little to fix the problem; and a true testimony to the lack of historic context in our schools.

Did anyone ever think about practical solutions?

No, it's all about manipulation and political gamesmanship.

These are matters of the heart and Proverb 22:6 stands: "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

If America had not departed from the ways of training up moral, just, and honest citizens, we may not be having this debate.
