Setting the Stage for Tyranny: Public Schools Deliberately Create a Culture of FearDaisy Luther Forget trying to change the minds of those who already have guns. The best way to do this is to encourage a culture of fear among young people. And the public school system, with all of its zero tolerance lunacy, is doing just that. They are setting the stage for tyranny. Case in point: Yesterday in Baltimore, some students saw a person carrying a tripod through the school. Frightened, they reported this to administrators, which resulted in an immediate lockdown: This morning, KIPP Ujima Village Academy and KIPP Harmony were placed in heightened security status, based on a report of a possible intruder. Police responded and secured the building, while police and school staff together ensured the safety of all children and staff. After a thorough investigation, police determined that there was no intruder in the building or on school grounds. As a precaution while the large school building was searched, students were taken by bus to the shared campus of Baltimore Polytechnic Institute and Western High School. Parents were contacted by phone and through local and social media channels, and were directed to pick up children from that location. (source) Critical thought is not encouraged. Panic is praised. Security expert Rob Weinhold sums it up: Its just not a time to use any judgment. Take the guesswork out. Lock down the school system. Make sure everyone is safe. (source) Another incident recently occurred in Maryland when two people hunting ducks with a pellet gun caused terror on the campus of Stevenson University. The Owings Mills campus was locked down for more than two hours Monday after someone reported a man with a gun. Investigators say two students hunting ducks with a pellet gun caused that incident. The bottom line is that lockdowns save lives, said security expert Rob Weinhold. He says in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting, school officials cannot be cautious enough when theres a suspicion of a gunman on campus. (source) The issue here is pretty clear. The younger generation is being taught that the very sight of a gun or anything that could be related to a gun is a reason for fear. That fear is cemented in the minds of children and parents when they are traumatized by the handling of the incidents. Kids are getting in trouble for drawing pictures of guns. For having tools which are sharp. For wearing t-shirts with the word gunprinted on them. For cutting their poor, defenseless food in the lunchroom. For biting a pastry into a shape that could either be a gun or the state of Florida. Maybe we should outlaw maps of Florida because the shape of that state is intimidating. They are being taught to have an irrational fear of inanimate objects. And because everyone else shares that fear, that mass delusion, it becomes normal. It becomes so commonplace that it isnt fear anymore, but an accepted fact: Guns are scary. The fear is quite literally being implanted. When police refuse to tell people what is going on, when kids are rapidly evacuated, when cops in military-style SWAT gear swoop in all of these dramatic scenes are not soon forgotten. When the dreaded gun sighting occurs in the future, the natural human response is to flash back to the last time that it happened. Instantly, the emotional response is overwhelming fear. When you read the following statements from those involved in the lockdown, keep in mind this incident was not triggered by a masked man with a machine gun firing in the hallways. This series of emotional responses began when someone saw a kid with a camera tripod. They were really freaking out because the police were pushing you away so you didnt know what was going on, said Michelle Ward, parent. The school told parents to meet at Poly-Western. They quickly swarmed the parking lot and turned to each other for support. My child is in there. I know he a nervous wreck, one mother said. Tiffany Taylor has four children at KIPP Academy. Its really frightening to hear on the radio that something is going on at the school, Taylor said. A large group of several hundred parents were on hand when police told the crowd all children were safe and would soon be bused to Poly to reunite with their families. In my heart, I felt a little relieved but I still need to see my children and be reunited with them. It just wont be over until I get them home, Taylor said. Though it took some time and a lot of patience from parents, the buses started arriving and reunions got underway. Student Damaya Smith told us about her ordeal. Everybody started crying. We had to hide because we felt uncomfortable, she said. It was a little scary when it started, but I listened to my teacher. For her parents, it was the perfect end to a long day. Im just glad everything is OK. Im just happy that nobody got hurt, said Derrick Smith, parent. (source) Make no mistake, this is deliberate. Those in charge are setting the stage for tyranny beyond our wildest dreams and they will never have to fire a shot. These kids will be begging the government to take away all of the guns and keep them safe. People that are this afraid of a tripod arent going to be leading the next revolution.
