Read this story, and think about what it actually means for our society if we teach our children our society is not worth defending:

Second Grader Playing ‘Rescue the World’ at Recess Suspended After Throwing Pretend Grenade at ‘Evil Forces’ (With Adorable Interview!)

Now ask yourself, what is the inevitable fate of a nation that refuses to defend itself, and that teaches its children not to defend the nation by punishing them when they pretend to do so?  But this story goes further than just the nation.  This child was pretending to “save the world from evil.”  I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions, but for me, at the very least, I see mental illness — and possibly out-right evil in the people who punished this child.

But I’ll tell you what else I see.  I see an even great mental illness and evil in those who allow this type of people to run their society.  After all, if you can look on this sort of thing and not drop everything you are doing to remove these folks from their positions of leadership – especially in education – then it must mean you agree with them – which in turn means you are as depraved and as evil as they.
