Cruel and Unusual Punishment: Sending your kids to School [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-02-15 If kids do not feel safe in school, why are we sending them there? The Nation Mourns. So what else is new? Two days ago it was Michigan State University. Five years ago it was Parkland. We might forget the names and the dates, but we don’t forget the places: Uvalde, Newtown, Oxnard, Columbine. Polls from last August by the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy showed 71% of Americans are in favor of stricter gun laws. According to poll results, half of Republicans support stricter gun laws. Overall, more than 2/3 of Americans support stronger gun laws while Republican legislators wear AR-15 pins on their lapels. Republican legislators are completely out of touch with the American public. The question is: How do we exhort Republicans to get in touch with America? The answer is, we can’t. We must vote them out. Florida is banning books. Ron DeSantis is taking over colleges and putting in his doctrine of education. No one has ever done this in America. Hitler did it in Germany. Republicans are out of control. They wish too control your body and your mind. There is no way to save this cultist political party. The Republican Party must go the way of the Know Nothings. Parents are expected to purchase bullet proof backpacks to keep their children safe. Yet that does not make children feel safe. Parents voting for Democrats would do more to make children feel safe, than a bullet proof back pack will. Let’s face it: Republicans are OK with your children dying. Current federal law provides no minimum age for the possession of long guns or long gun ammunition. In reality, Republicans want to return to the Wild West. Just look at their Party leader Donald Trump, who favors public executions, firing squads, or guillotine. If you’re not OK with that, Vote Republicans OUT! Start the campaign now!
