Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I am suggesting a mass organization of all parents to cover shifts, not one person. Where there is a will to protect the kids there IS a way vs excuses.
Each would be arrested at the start of a shift. The commies would never let you accomplish your open vigilante network on commie turf. They would pull out all stops and feel justified in doing it. It’s not unreasonable to be skeptical of volunteers who say they’re there for the kids, so the local commies would be able to drum up media and federal support. Your group of parents would have to be willing to fight Civil War 2. If they don’t win the war, then you’d have a bunch of good parents whose lives are screwed to the point of not being able to accomplish the mission anyway.
Short of homeschooling, a compromise I can think of for you would be a non-cabal private school with a capable, non-cabal security team. Unfortunately, the non-cabal aspect is a big ask these days.
I am not talking about vigilantes. I am talking about organized groups who FIGHT for "permission" and keep fighting until they get it. The whole point is we shouldn't have to even ask for permission to protect kids but since they aren't going to do it we should be doing it.
This crisis crap continues because we do nothing. The words passive and parent should never be in the same sentence.
Earlier you wrote, “So? Are the kids not worth getting arrested?”.
That was a pretty pro-vigilante statement. Then here you wrote ‘I am not talking about vigilantes. I am talking about organized groups who FIGHT for "permission”’.
If they got permission, then they wouldn’t get arrested. Seems like some goalpost shifting.
Just stop it. If you came here just to argue go find someone else to argue with. I was countering YOUR own points. Everyone should be mad as hell that this has been allowed to continue to happen to our children. But apparently you aren't. My entire point is instead of excuses we should be FINDING a way to do the protecting. Period.
If you’re turning it into a political “fight”, then why not just advocate for school choice?
People aren’t just doing nothing. Homeschooling is breaking records. People are still politically pushing for school choice, the dismantling of the Dept of Education, and for the defunding of the government indoctrination centers.
