CDC Study Says Its Unhealthy For Children And Young AdultsTo Carry Guns

The CDC released its latest study on unhealthy behaviors by those who are between 10 and 24. These statistics point to a failure of parenting and a failure of the liberal attitudes found at public schools. Students are taught to "get along" at school and not fight back when assaulted by others. In most schools when a student is physically harassed or attacked and fights back, the victim is also punished by the schools. This liberal ideal is in part why Virginia Tech students willingly lined up against a wall when told to by their killer and were executed one by one down the line.
We are not suggesting that K-12 students should carry guns to use to fight back.

The study showed students had these behaviors in the 30 days before they were surveyed.

It is up to parents, and not the schools, to raise their children by example and caring discipline for them to become productive members of society. Children will either rise to the level of their friends and parents, or, unfortunately, sink to their level.
