[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 691052, member: 19951"] Of course not every single school in the country is pushing this agenda. But it is all over our country. East, West, North and South. I know for a fact it is here in my state. Big University in my state just finished building their safe building for people to go to feel safe from offense. Football concussion sure, wear a helmet. Kids riding a bike down the street, eh, not so much. I'm sorry you were bullied to that point. No doubt ongoing bullying is traumatizing to many kids. But everyone gets bullied. The point being, we are not teaching our kids how to handle it correctly. We will never be able to stop someone from saying someone is ugly or fat, or call you four eyes because you wear glasses. We are over sensitizing our children to any insult, any criticism. Two of my kids were over-weight, they got called names. You know what, they started running, watched what they ate. Lost weight. Point is they did something about their weight. I was a chunky kid too, got their genes from me. Remember I said, this began about 10 years ago so your kids that you raised and mine as well were not subjected to the new age social and educational thinking and teaching. Just because you haven't heard of something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Google it, you will find the states and articles regarding making sure things are equal in sports, no losers only winners, everyone plays. No trophies for winners, that's offensive. Removal of Valedictorian titles, reducing the GPA so they include 100's vs. 1 or 2 again so people don't feel bad that they didn't do better academically. Schools doing away with F grades. This again, gives kids opportunity to do the work assigned, with many chances to get it done with more time allowed. More and more chances to do what you are told to do- and if not, then you get more chances to do what you should have done to begin with. Again, coddling. Exampme, article below.
