I guess you aren't gonna answer me. I really was just curious.

I had to go back to look for your question. But yes, we talked about the dangers of expressing oneself. We started the whole talk off by talking about how the amendments in the bill of rights were directly related to problems they had living under the king. To relate directly to the first amendment, the king have your head removed if you complained to much, or went to the wrong church, or wrote a negative news article, so they explicitly wrote those protections into the bill of rights.

As far as the danger.......it really ain't that bad. Driving anywhere is far, far more dangerous than attending a protest. 1200 kids, 3 every day, die in car crashes. About 25 people, of all ages, were killed in protests in the last couple years (depending on which source you look at). Parents put their kids in far more danger by driving them anywhere, than taking them to a protest. The statistics clearly those that. This protest was at 1030 am. Everyone knows that the slovenly leftists don't get up until lat least 230 in the afternoon. Had it been at 1030 at night, then of course we wouldn't have gone.

Really? You mean after the basic function check , you didn't unload it?
Amazing , you and BC belong together!

BLM…….
I was actually scarer when they bussed them in to town, before the riots.

You just keep proving the point!

…. You’re a weird dude loose goose lol

Read through this post fast. Your home school project was taking kids to a protest and anti trump was the only one available? maybe I over simplified? If I did not than that is just stupid.

Thanks LG. I agree protests aren't incredibly dangerous now, but I would not be surprised to see them get increasingly violent in the coming years.

I think you got it partially right.

Loosegoose wanted to go to the anti-Trump protest.

He couldn't find a babysitter, so kids had to be carried along.

I agree. I'd rather be fishing.

If the only protest that was in my area was gay pride parades I would not take my kids for the sake of protesting. Why people dislike homeschooling. Good thing turned into brainwashing by the brainwashed!

Add that this is exactly what college tries to shove in kids heads. So why home school? I am stunned reading this crap!

This is true. It's hard for some people when other people don't think and act exactly like them. Some folks just can't handle it.


Trapping Thomas, your simplification is correct. We want d to participate in a protest, so we started off with a small local protest with silly signs, and then attended a large protest with a progun sign. In both cases, it just happens that anti-trump protests were what was happening. Not my choosing.

Swamp wolf.....my kids are old enough to stay home alone. My apologies if my teaching methods offend you (not really, I don't care if anyone doesn't like it).

…. I can handle it … just call them hippies

Rather than taking your kids to attend some protest you say you really didn't care to be at, wouldn't it have been a better teaching moment to have them come up with something they thought was wrong enough to protest against and then make signs to protest that? Maybe teach them to think for themselves rather than follow a crowd?

You should pull your kids out of school, start homeschooling them, and do it that way. Or have them watch a protest on TV as someone else suggested. Or take them fishing (though that's not really a first amendment lesson.). That's the beauty of homeschooling.....we can all do it our own way.

The beauty and the fail! I would never bring my kids to a protest just to teach them to protest regardless what the protest is for. Just dumb! Literally ridiculous!

WOW This thread really is starting to explain how the left thinks!
Seems they got lost some where between birth and real life!

Having a rough time dealing with logic in this country. Fellow trappers please tell me we are not this lost!

I voted for homeschooling. Now think that I need to vote against it.
Kids tend not to listen to the politics of school teachers, but kids that are homeschooled can't ever escape from their parents.

WHERE'S THE LIKE BUTTON?
