A couple of hundred years ago the vast majority of the population could barely read and write. Get past the sixth grade and that was good enough, but during those early years those kids were sponges and they could survive if left alone for a period of time. (they were allowed to play with sharp knives). Now our society shields kids for so long they no longer have the ability to think for themselves, unless they ask permission from their parents to say something. But I have faith in America that once all this nonsense has concluded we will get back to the basics of being Great. We'll teach our kids how to survive, we really won't care about gender studies or how not to ge butt hurt if someone rips down a rainbow flag. When you have to go out into the cold winter to find something to put into your family's bellies, then you will not care about gender studies, you'll only care about surviving until tomorrow.
Speaking of sharp knives, when I was a kid, we used to play "mumbly peg", where you have to flip a knife off the tip of your fingers and make it land on the ground so that it stuck. Another one was "territory" where you threw a knife down in a rectangular area drawn on the ground with the knife or a stick. Each time a person would throw, the area it landed in would be divided into two parts depending on the angle of the blade. I believe the opponent would then pick which of the two parts they would keep as their territory. The goal was to cut the other person's territory down to a size too small to step in (but my memory of both of these games is sketchy :) ) I grew up with rednecks, so there were guns and knives :)
Jarts were great! (but you had to make sure you were always watching the game, even if, and maybe especially if, you weren't playing :) )
