“Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world.” – Vladimir Lenin   

The Washington Times reports that

The gun control movement notched a public relations coup with last week’s massive school walkouts, but now school districts that pitched in to ensure the protest’s success are stuck with the rising political and legal fallout.

A week after the March 14 walkout, school officials are grappling with complaints from parents outraged by the specter of their kids engaged in political protesting on school time, as well as reports of criminal mischief committed by teens who treated the event as a get-out-of-class-free card.

What’s more, the students get to do it all again next month. A substantially identical event, also called the National School Walkout, is scheduled for April 20, the 19th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre.

Chris Cleveland, chairman of the Chicago Republican Party, said he worried that the walkouts, aimed at pushing for tougher gun restrictions in the wake of the deadly Parkland shooting, have provided the template for advocacy groups eager to co-opt the public schools for progressive activism.

“If they get away with this, they’ll be free to engage in any kind of political activity in the schools that they wish,” said Mr. Cleveland, who has a third-grader in the Chicago Public Schools.

The party is moving to avert that scenario by preparing a lawsuit against the school system, arguing that the district violated state and federal law as well as its own policies by organizing a political demonstration — and pressuring students to attend — on the taxpayers’ dime.

In between now and the next National Walkout Day, scheduled for Aril 20th, is an event scheduled to occur in several American Cities this Saturday, March 24th, titled “March For Our Lives”.

According to their website, marchforourlives.com,

March For Our Lives is created by, inspired by, and led by students across the country who will no longer risk their lives waiting for someone else to take action to stop the epidemic of mass school shootings that has become all too familiar. In the tragic wake of the seventeen lives brutally cut short in Florida, politicians are telling us that now is not the time to talk about guns.  March For Our Lives believes the time is now. 

On March 24, the kids and families of March For Our Lives will take to the streets of Washington, DC to demand that their lives and safety become a priority. The collective voices of the March For Our Lives movement will be heard. 

If you believe that the walkouts and the multi-city event this Saturday are all the results of a “Grassroots Movement”, I have a business venture titled “The Rosie O’Donnell Diet Plan” for you to get in on the ground floor off.

An organization named Everytown For Gun Safety is one of the organizers.

Everytown is a movement of Americans working together to end gun violence and build safer communities. Gun violence touches every town in America. For too long, change has been thwarted by the Washington gun lobby and by leaders who refuse to take common-sense steps that will save lives.

But something is changing. More than 4 million mayors, moms, cops, teachers, survivors, gun owners, and everyday Americans have come together to make their own communities safer. Together, we are fighting for the changes that we know will save lives.

Everytown was originally formed as “Mayors For Gun Safety” by Far Left Former Mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg, a millionaire in his own right.

Per discoverthenetworks.org, Everytown even shares a Political Consulting and Strategy Advisor with Former President Barack Hussein Obama, among others…

270 Strategies (270S) is a consulting firm that was launched in 2013 by supporters of President Barack Obama. Their objective was to help left-wing “campaigns, companies, and causes” use “grassroots organizing” methods to “transform communities” and “keep doing big things to change the world” even after January of 2017, when Obama’s presidency was due to end. From 2013-15, the firm served more than 160 clients across a variety of sectors. In the political sphere, for instance, 270S’s clients included such groups as Battleground Texas, iVote, and Ready for Hillary. The organization also provided key services for Cory Booker’s 2013 run for the U.S. Senate (in New Jersey), Terry McAuliffe’s 2013 gubernatorial campaign in Virginia, Rahm Emanuel’s 2015 mayoral re-election bid in Chicago, and Ro Khanna’s (unsuccessful) 2014 run for a congressional seat representing the Bay Area and Silicon Valley.

In areas not related directly to electoral politics, 270S has supported clients like the Service Employees International Union, Planned Parenthood, the Environmental Defense Fund, Everytown for Gun Safety, the College Board, and AARP to promote their respective agendas vis-a-vis a wide range of issues—including immigration reform, health care access, “women’s equality,” a higher minimum wage, education standards, and efforts to avert the purported dangers associated with “climate change.”

According to their website “March For Our Lives” is sponsoring events in 823 cities across the United States.

However, you may still be asking yourselves,

“Why are the teachers and school administrators pushing for students to be involved in the walkouts and the march?”

Because, gentle readers, their union, The American Federation of Teachers, is one of the sponsors behind these events.

Again, per discoverthenetworks.org,

Founded in Chicago in 1916, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) was almost immediately welcomed into the American Federation of Labor by the latter’s President, Samuel Gompers. The AFT would quickly charter 174 locals in its first four years, gaining a membership of approximately 10,000 during that period. The decade after World War I, however, was a period of intense struggle for the union. While the AFT fought for academic freedom and tenure laws, school boards conducted campaigns that pressured teachers to resign from it — often forcing them to sign “yellow-dog” contracts in which they promised not to unionize.

…Like the labor movement in general, however, the AFT was infiltrated by members of the Communist Party, particularly during the latter years of the Great Depression.

…The AFT is currently part of America Votes, a national coalition of leftwing grassroots, get-out-the-vote organizations. The AFT also co-founded and provides funding for Free Exchange on Campus, which is also heavily funded by George Soros’ Open Society Institute. As part of the progressive campaign for single-payer healthcare, the AFT joined forces with the Soros-funded Health Care for America Now! in 2009. In December of that year, the AFT also co-founded Defend Education, a leftist coalition that opposed private schools and called for increased funding for public education.

In recent years, AFT has donated money to such left-wing organizations as The American Prospect, Americans for Democratic Action, the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the Children’s Defense Fund, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, the Economic Policy Institute, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the NAACP, the William J. Clinton Foundation, and Women’s Policy Inc.

According to Buzzfeed News, as reported in an article posted on 2/27/18,

The American Federation of Teachers, which helped bus students and parents to Tallahassee multiple times last week, are now assisting with the March for Our Lives rally. The federation’s president told BuzzFeed News that they are also helping support next month’s march as well as helping to shape the vision and mission for the group once the rally is over.

“There are a lot of people who know how to put on a march in Washington and we are here to help support the teens with that experience in terms of logistics and strategy but it’s still early and they have some time to figure that out,” AFT President Randi Weingarten told BuzzFeed News. “We will be here for that ‘oh shit moment’ when they realize they need things like permits.”

The New Bolsheviks of the Progressive Movement have been trying to get their greasy mitts on America’s children for quite some time now.

Throughout the 8 years of the Obama Presidency, the propagandizing of America’s children really took off into high gear, as the NEA and the AFT made it their mission to mold young minds full of mush (as Rush Limbaugh would say) into good little automatons who could regurgitate popular Liberal Talking Points on demand.

In a lot of cases, thank God, children would come home and discuss what they had learned with their parents, who would quickly set them straight.

However, not every child was blessed with loving parents, such as the ones mentioned in the first article above, who are fighting those school boards who are allowing the recruitment of our children and grandchildren as human props in these walkouts and marches.

Please, folks, pay attention to what your children bring home from school.

And, please read all permission slips before you sign them.

Who is Funding These “Youth” Gun Control Demonstrations?

whitehousenationalwalkoutday_OP_7_CP__1521035679003.jpg_5088520_ver1.0_640_360

Well, the National School Walkout was held yesterday.

Notice the huge change?

No? Me, neither.

Average Americans here in the Heartland are still “bitterly clinging” to our Bibles…and our guns.

Because, in spite of an inconceivable number of gun laws on the books, criminals still have guns.

That is why they are called “outlaws”.

FoxNews.com reports that

Thousands of students walked out of classrooms nationwide Wednesday to protest gun violence and call for new gun control measures on the one month anniversary of the Parkland school shooting that left 17 dead and sparked a grassroots wave of activism.

From Maine to Hawaii, students left school to demonstrate against gun violence in what could be the biggest display yet of the student activism that has emerged in response to last month’s massacre at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

In nearly 3,000 reported protests nationwide, students from the elementary to college level took up the call in a variety of ways. Some took part in roadside rallies to honor shooting victims and protest violence. Others held demonstrations in school gyms or on football fields. In Massachusetts and Georgia and Ohio, students went to the statehouse to lobby for new gun regulations.

The coordinated walkouts were loosely organized by Empower, the youth wing of the Women’s March, which brought hundreds of thousands of demonstrators to Washington, D.C., last year. The group urged students to leave class at 10 a.m. local time for 17 minutes — one minute for each victim in the Florida shooting — and suggested demands for lawmakers, including an assault weapons ban and mandatory background checks for all gun sales.

“Our elected officials must do more than tweet thoughts and prayers in response to this violence,” the group said on its website.

…This nationwide action is one of several protests planned for coming weeks. The March for Our Lives rally for school safety is expected to draw hundreds of thousands to the nation’s capital on March 24, its organizers said. And another round of school walkouts is planned for April 20, the 19th anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting in Colorado.

As I recently reported, yesterday’s Walkout, through its connections to the Women’s March Movement, received funding from the evil puppet master himself, George Soros.

Also, as I reported back on February 21st, The March For Our Lives on March 24th has an organization named Everytown For Gun Safety as one of its organizers.

According to its website,

Everytown is a movement of Americans working together to end gun violence and build safer communities. Gun violence touches every town in America. For too long, change has been thwarted by the Washington gun lobby and by leaders who refuse to take common-sense steps that will save lives.

But something is changing. More than 4 million mayors, moms, cops, teachers, survivors, gun owners, and everyday Americans have come together to make their own communities safer. Together, we are fighting for the changes that we know will save lives.

Everytown has been around for several years. They are very well-connected within the Liberal Hierarchy, running in the same circles as Clooney, Oprah, and other Liberal Elitists.

In fact, after the Law Vegas Massacre last fall, Everytown put out a Public Service Announcement in order to take advantage of that mass shooting for the purpose of furthering their political agenda.

Per discoverthenetworks.org, Everytown even shares a Political Consulting and Strategy Advisor with Former President Barack Hussein Obama, among others…

270 Strategies (270S) is a consulting firm that was launched in 2013 by supporters of President Barack Obama. Their objective was to help left-wing “campaigns, companies, and causes” use “grassroots organizing” methods to “transform communities” and “keep doing big things to change the world” even after January of 2017, when Obama’s presidency was due to end. From 2013-15, the firm served more than 160 clients across a variety of sectors.

The organization also provided key services for Cory Booker’s 2013 run for the U.S. Senate (in New Jersey), Terry McAuliffe’s 2013 gubernatorial campaign in Virginia, Rahm Emanuel’s 2015 mayoral re-election bid in Chicago, and Ro Khanna’s (unsuccessful) 2014 run for a congressional seat representing the Bay Area and Silicon Valley.

In areas not related directly to electoral politics, 270S has supported clients like the Service Employees International Union, Planned Parenthood, the Environmental Defense Fund, Everytown for Gun Safety, the College Board, and AARP to promote their respective agendas vis-a-vis a wide range of issues—including immigration reform, health care access, “women’s equality,” a higher minimum wage, education standards, and efforts to avert the purported dangers associated with “climate change.”

Everytown For Gun Safety was founded in 2006 as Mayors Against Illegal Guns, by Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Remember him? He’s the clown who banned large sodas.

Gentle Readers, to reiterate what I have written in the past, this sudden push by school kids for Gun Control  is NOT a Grassroots Movement, it is an Astroturf One.

All of the usual suspects who make themselves known whenever there is a push by the Far Left for Gun Control after a tragedy occurs, are behind these marches.

If you think that a bunch of school kids can organize and fund these marches by themselves, I have two bridges over the Mississippi River at Memphis, Tennessee to sell you.

Thanks to the Liberals in the NEA, the Main Stream Media, and local school faculties, America’s schoolchildren have been propagandized, indoctrinated, and coerced into becoming political activists on the side of those who have dedicated themselves to taking away average Americans’ Second Amendment Rights.

…and, our right of self- determination as individuals.

One last thought…despite all of their present-day zeal, isn’t it strange that the non-profit professionals behind all of these gun control demonstrations were not “concerned” enough about the subject to protest so loud and long during the Presidency of Barack Hussein Obama?

Apparently, to these wannabe Marxists, it all depends on what your definition of “concern” is…

…and who the President is.

Always FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Until He Comes,

Schools Encouraging Student Participation in National Walkout Day

placeit_c2f7f7ec-f18f-4e4e-b80b-c4d5ea27ba44_1024x1024

Yesterday, I told you about the National Walkout Day being sponsored by the Women’s March Movement which has been scheduled for March 14, 2018.

After sharing my post, I started hearing from readers who told me that their children were being made to bring permission forms home by their schools’ administrators, so that they could participate in the Walkout. Others said that the school teachers and administrators were encouraging the children to be involved in the Walkout!

Here is one such comment…

“My daughter is in a student leadership class in my home town. Some of her classmates were approached by the school principle a couple of weeks ago and they inquired what the class would be doing to lead the school out of the class on March 14. They responded they had no idea what the principal was talking about…

The principal approached them again, in class, the following Monday (2/26), and TOLD them to plan a walk-out for 3/14, to walk out of class and to lead everyone to areas within the school to sit down and quietly PROTEST THE NATIONS GUN LAWS and memorialize the people killed during the Parkland, FL shooting.

I contacted the school superintendent. He denied my daughters version of events happened, and stated their real concern was for students safety… and that they wanted to ensure that what was going to happen, happened in as safe a manner as possible, that the students were GOING to protest, and that it wasn’t the schools idea but that it was the students right to protest and that the school couldn’t stop them. Funny, my daughter says they were aware of the idea of the walkout, but hadn’t bothered to work to organize anything until they were pushed to do so by their school.

Friends of mine in other states have shared with me stories of their own, and even emails they received from their school districts. “In response to the recent tragic events in Florida, some students may consider participating in an upcoming ‘Walk-Out’ to bring awareness to the issue of gun violence in schools… We are encouraging a ‘Sit-In’ approach,” said one email from Virginia…

Then there’s this, which my child’s superintendent emailed me with, “Several legal firms that deal with schools have sent out legal opinions about the walk out. It’s a First Amendment right and we can’t stop them.” This is total bullshit, of course. One of the core responsibilities of a school is to guard against truancy… and WHAT legal firms contacted them, exactly?

…That the organizers of the national movement wanted this to include elementary school students is sickening. These demons are turning our children into political props in an effort to turn them into a generation willing to sacrifice their basic right to self-defense and shrug off the notion that private firearm ownership is a civil right. God Damn them.”

Being curious about these shocking revelations, I went back to the Women’s March Website, where I was directed for more information about the Walkout to a website for a non-profit organization named Peace First.

According to their website,

Peace First is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping young people around the world to become powerful peacemakers by:

Investing in their ideas
Providing them with tools and skills
Connecting them with other awesome young people around the world
Sharing their stories and impact with the world

Violence is pervasive in our culture and impacts our young people every day, from guns on the streets to bullies in schools, intolerance, and our inability to connect with, respect, and be kind to each other. These experiences have a devastating effect on young people’s healthy development, and contributes to a cycle that is at the root of so many other problems in our world.

Thankfully, over twenty years of experience working with young people has taught us that they can be powerful problem-solvers if they are called and prepared to do so. By teaching young people the skills of courage, compassion, and collaborative leadership, we can unleash their moral imagination. By investing in those ideas, we can help them address some of the most challenging issues in their communities.

Now is the time to unleash this untapped resource by teaching young people the skills they need to solve the problems that matter most to them, investing in the ideas that will help change our world for the better, and celebrating the stories of youth peacemaking happening around the world.

Looking at their website’s biographical page sent chills up this Christian American Conservative’s spine.

They are literally all Ivy League Graduates…Liberal Globalists dedicated to shaping and molding young skulls of mush into young Globalists brainwashed in “the right way” of thinking about the world.

On their page devoted to the March 14th Walkout, they frame the event as if the students were the organizers.

However, as I reported yesterday, they clearly are not.

As I wrote yesterday, the Father of Modern Communism, Vladimir Lenin, said

Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.

The people behind Peace First have been sowing their seeds for over 20 years.

Is the civil unrest and anti-American political ideology that we are having to deal with now, the result of seeds being planted by non-profit organizations like America First and the National Education Association, who really came into their own as a Liberal Political Force during the Presidency of Barack Hussein Obama?

Teach your children well…

…and, don’t sign any permission slips that they bring home without reading them first.

Until He Comes,

KJ
