The Job of Principal 12 18 2024

 Just a brief comment here.  A principal is there to handle and discipline bad kids?  Whether it be immediate expulsion or detentions.  But what should that job description include when the bad kids today are extremely violent and can and do wield guns?  Should principals be required to carry a gun?

It is a really bad precedent to admit you have to set?  And in today's day and age where authority figures are dealing drugs and accused of sexual misconduct literally left and right, it could take our nation further down the path corruption.

So a Police Officer is an Officer of the Court,  He arrives on the seen of a shooting at a school where a 16 year old (that is the average age of mass shooters) is killing people.  And he shoots that child and kills it.

So in effect you have the death penalty being administered to a child by the lowest level of the judicial system?  And perhaps there is a better way to phrase that.

So doesn't it beg the question about the death penalty being administered to children at the Judges bench level?

I am not going to comment any further on that.  Even though my freedom of speech should allow me to.

But it almost absurd to think that you could train a principal to shoot children that are killing people?

So what is this?  This is an issue where you have to step back from the forest of it and make a conclusion as to what has gone wrong in our country?  And then the other aspect of that is how can it really be fixed?

The answer isn't gun control.  The answer isn't driverless cars.  The answer isn't infringing on your right to free speech.

Oh there is a good one.  How many things that should be allowed to be said today are no longer protected by your first amendment to free speech?  Fine you to the point whereby you are out of house and home if you said it?  And that violates the Constitution to.

So then you ask yourself, who did we need to lessen our Constitution for so that they could have the semblance of being assimilated into our Democracy?  My dad always said it was the Republicans who want to take away your rights.  And they kind of go about it in an ostensibly clumsy way?  They make everyone want to beg that lessening your rights is necessitated?
