A GUN OUT OF A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL:
When I was a kid, my parents made pancakes in various shapes: Clowns, wagons, Mickey Mouse. My mother may have made a gun-shaped pancake for me once. If not, certainly my father did. According to the latest 'thinking' amongst 'educators', that gun-shaped pancake was child abuse.
Oh, really?
No issue shows the utter poverty of thought in modern public education than this insane war on fun, fantasy, fingers and fake guns. Thankfully, most kids are probably learning a different story than the one taught. They are getting their first lesson on the need to question authority.
My wife, who is an educator, agrees on both points.
