Honestly, I'm surprised there hasn't been an armed revolt yet.
God, regular Americans are nice people!
So. The STATE is telling parents that they are not allowed to let their children walk or bike to school.While the school district does not allow elementary school or Maple Avenue students to ride bikes to school, that could change in the coming weeks, Superintendent Janice White said. The Board of Education could vote to amend the policy on Oct. 13, when it is scheduled to discuss a recommendation from a district-formed committee.
"Supervised, parent/guardian bike riding may be permitted at specific sites in the future," White said in an interview Friday. The school has no legal responsibility over what occurs on Route 9, she added.
The biking debate started last spring, when school district officials told Kaddo Marino that Adam was violating school rules by biking to class. Walking to the school also is not permitted.
This makes two stories in two days of the State presuming to allow or permit parents to decide what their children are doing.
What the fuck is going on in this country? Or more accurately, what the hell country IS THIS?

The school has no legal authority to decide anything that is done before or after school. I would tell those Nazis to fuck off. As for the storm trooper, he had better show me a law that prohibits cycling or be charged with harrassment. The only thing the school can do legaly is to prohibit bycycles on school property.
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in NJ, students were not allowed to walk/bike to school. They were either dropped off or a parent/guardian gave them a ride in a vehicle.
ReplyDeleteI learned this after I had to stop behind a school bus I was driving behind (taking one of mine to school that day) as he stopped at the house right next door to the school, picked up a student, then proceeded to pull into the school to drop the students off.
I asked why the bus did that and they explained that it was against the law for that child to walk across his lawn and then across the school lawn to get to the school building. Yup, he could walk on grass all the way up to the school steps so he wasn't out in traffic or anything, but he had to ride the bus instead.
Ah, good old New Jersey.
How is it possible in America?
ReplyDeleteHow did it come to this?
The leaders of the Peoples Republic of the U.S. have decided that the brainwashing of its citizens has to start in their developing years. That way as the youth grow up with fewer and fewer liberties it won't be such a big deal to them - they simply won't know the difference. It's the oldies like us that are fucking gobsmacked by the sheer temerity of how things are changing and at what speed!!
ReplyDeleteUnder the excuse of 'security' more and more of our liberties are disappearing. Things are going to get much worse.
Government and its agencies are like vicious vampire squid, their tentacles are into everything, sucking us all dry.
So thats cheerful then. Sighhhhh.
Life is Short but Wide.
Yes, among the things we have to "take back" is education.
ReplyDeleteSharpen the stakes, people!
