How about a "contract:"

"I promise I will not be a dumb shit Democrat when I grow up."

You want to say to the school officials, "Are you hearing yourselves? You think someone could be disturbed enough to kill themselves, but rational enough to understand and obey a signed contract? At 5 YEARS OLD??"

Private school might be a better alternative. Homeschool definitely is.

your children are not yours anymore

The inmates are running the asylum.

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Invalid contract. Child not legally able to contract. I wouldn't trust those idiots to teach a mouse.

I'm glad the mom refused the psyche eval on her daughter. Good for her.

Can we line the PTB up and slap them first? Kind of like the opposite of "value for value".

It's not a contact b/c there's no offer, acceptance, and consideration.

It's also bizarre in the extreme, just retarded. I would have a hard time talking to them without laughing.

It's not govt overreach. It's morons running a school.

I can only shake my head when I read crap like this. The sheer idiocy forced our children these days is far beyond reason.

Teachers seem to have no reasoning power or common sense. They overreact repeated. When our daughter was in grade school, she wore her 007 shirt to school, and was told to turn it inside out all day, as she was "endangering" other kids with the gun in Bond's hand! Now, is that even rational! Even a 9 year old knows that is ridiculous. They had some bizarre teacher practicing Maslow group therapy in the classroom of 9 year olds, and drove one boy to attempt suicide after a session. In my opinion, she needed psychiatric help.
Now it is crayon pseudo guns, really? Teachers have to be the most scared people on the planet, that is what being liberal will do for you. When one boy threatened to set a bomb off in the school, the teachers ran and locked themselves in the classrooms. He had no bomb, he was just pissed at his teacher. Meanwhile, while cops swarmed the school, some kids were stuck in the hall, one boy tried to push our daughter down the stairs.She used her Tae Kwan Do training to flip him and send him sailing down the hall on his backside. Then a cop showed up, and wisely said, "He won't try that again with the wrong girl." Luckily, it was not a teacher, or she would have been suspended for defending herself - which is also a no no in schools..

The Romans had a phrase for it. "Reductio ad absurdum," to reduce something to absurdity. Like most liberal seeming stupidities, there is the underlying motive of control. In this case, thought control. When infused into a youngster, it becomes the lesson of guns bad, prohibiting them, good. Good for the Mom. She is fighting for more than she knows. I wonder, however, what effect this will have on the little one. Will it be admiration for Mom or fear of using guns?

Infuriates Mom? I do not understand why the High Sherriff and Police weren't leading a perp walk of pseudo educators out of that school.
I don't think there is a single sane person in the school system! What would prompt them to generate forms and "contracts" like that? Somebody needs to send that video to the Governor.

Here is the bottom line:
The schools are sued.
If they are sued, they come up with ways to avoid the suit in the future. That means things like this.

Whether they win or lose, it costs them money.
If they document that they did everything they could, they avoid more losses.

I'm not one to support the public schools - worked there for way too long to do so. My suggestion is take your kids and RUN.

At the same time, I understand WHY they are in the situation they are, and why private schools are not in that same situation, let alone home schooling.

And the pressure is only going to increase, from both sides of the system.

Get out, while you can.
And systems like K12 from home are great until you realize that you have to document your child's life for the system as well. As the Federal government takes more control of our public schools, I see only more trouble for everyone.

Put your kids, first. You get ONE try at getting it as right as you can. Choose.

explain to me how the youth of America are ever going to get an education as we see stupidity like this happening all over the country?

The logical end to this nonsense will be for the cabinet level Department of Child Safety to mandate that all children become wards of the State, be raised in Government run Child Safety institutions until the age of 18, be taught according to the latest scientific methods on what to do and who to obey and what to eat. The Democrats perfect little world.

Hello social engineers.

What do you think Common Core is all about. Answer: The Federal Goverment telling the States what to teach our children.

The more I hear about the public school system, the more grateful I am that I was home-schooled.

Hard to comment on this one... The contract thing is moronic, and the thought that the little girl that can barely write her name is going to call the suicide hotline is bizarre, but there may be other issues...

Mental illness can start at a young age, if the rest of the story is that she's acting pretty bizarre or antisocial, 1 in 4 Americans have a diagnosable mental illness, it's not a stretch. I'm sure Eric Kliebold's parents might have reconsidered their heads in the sand approach or the moronic mom in Sandy Hook that thought spending quality time at the shooting range with her autistic kid that only was interested in first person shooters may have rethought that too if she could.

Pretty bizarre story though, just hope mom doesn't ignore a problem as she gets older out of stigma... Mental illness is usually treatable, no reason any of those events should happen. Always seems to trace to a lack of intervention by the parents, as odd as it sounds, it's probably a misguided self defense mechanism by the school. If the girl does have issues, private school is one of the worst options, they don't have the special ed she will need if she grows up on meds.

I have been aware of what they have been teaching our kids for a while now. Check out this web site and see for yourself. Especially watch the videos and hear it from their own mouths.

They contacted the mom and talked to her. The school should be out of it at that point.

So first of all, the "contract" is bogus. I'd have a lawyer point that out to these stupid administrators. First, the contractee has no comprehension (due to age) of what they are signing and she is signing under duress - either of which are strong defenses in a court of law.

From a practical standpoint, however, these teachers really need to take a gun education class. If it doesn't have the parts necessary to BE a gun, IT DOESN'T MATTER. It's called "imagination" - though I know liberals are terrified of a child wielding the power of the mind.

What a bunch of pathetic losers.

Personally I see a much larger issue. There some basic tenants in this country that all stem back to basic contract law and civil Liberties.

Agreement: One party must offer to enter into an agreement, and the other party must accept the terms of the offer
Consideration: Something of value received or promised, to convince a party to agree to the deal;
Contractual Capacity/ competent parties: Both parties must be competent to enter into the agreement;
Legality: The contract's purpose must be to accomplish some goal that is legal and not against public policy;
Genuineness of Assent (Arguably part of agreement): The apparent consent of both parties must be genuine; and
Form: The agreement must be in whatever form (e.g., written, under seal, etc.) the law requires.

EXECUTION AND VALIDITY OF CONTRACTS
Executed Contract [4302.11]: A contract that has been completely performed by both (or all) parties. By contrast,
An executory contract [4302.10]is a contract that has not yet been fully performed by one or more parties.
Valid Contract [4302.13]: A contract satisfying all of the requisites discussed earlier -- agreement, consideration, capacity, legal purpose, assent, and form. By contrast,
A void contract [4302.14]is a contract having no legal force or binding effect (e.g., a contract entered into for an illegal purpose);
A voidable contract [4302.15] is an otherwise valid contract that may be legally avoided, cancelled, or annulled at the option of one of the parties (e.g., a contract entered into under duress or under false pretenses); and,
An unenforceable contract is an otherwise valid contract rendered unenforceable by some statute or law (e.g., an oral contract that, due to the passage of time, must be in writing to be enforceable).

Also the legal age of consent, i.e. 18 is required.

From my perspective this is the most egregious violation of civil liberties tantamount to the Mob extorting money in a protection racket.

These school administrators, teachers, county and school board all need sued to hell and back.

We are not communist in this country and WE the People need to start using our court system to shove back this outrageous tide of blatant communism, a TOTAL affront to our country, our constitution and our way of life.
