If you could be guaranteed one thing in this country, which would you choose?
1 - Safety?
2 - Healthcare?
3 - Freedom?
4 - Education?
5 - A Home?
6 - Guns?
7 - Food?
8 - Transportation?
9 - Employment?
10 - Children?
Whichever option we would choose as a nation, I believe we would get it. However, I believe that there is only one choice on this list that would give us the best chance at securing all the others.
What is a criminal? Who can be classified into that category?
CRIM-I-NAL
(noun) a person who has committed a crime.
synonym - lawbreaker
LAW-BREAK-ER
(noun) a person who violates the law.
It is interesting to think about laws and who those laws are designed for. I argue that laws are basically rules that establish a punishment for a certain action. For example: rob a bank = go to jail. So the law that states that it is illegal to rob a bank, establishes a boundary and if you choose to cross that boundary, you have broken the law and must therefore be penalized.
However, if we think about who the laws are written for it is obvious that they are written to control law-abiding citizens. If we consider the definitions above it is clear that criminals do not obey the law and therefore it can be pre-supposed that laws are not written for criminals. For criminals however, the law simply is an announcement of the penalty for when they commit a crime.
So the next time you hear law-makers speak about how we need this law or that law to prevent crimes, just remember that those laws don't apply to criminals... they are designed for you.
A teacher received notice from the administration that her classroom needed to be more diverse, even though her students were assigned to her randomly. Children of different ethnic backgrounds would be integrated into her group of pupils. The reason for this was not what you might think...
Apparently the testing standards are lower if there are more, what they call, "minorities" (I use their language here) in the classroom. In sports they call this "padding your stats."
Why are parents of "minorities" not foaming-at-the-mouth angry about this?!! I know I am! Basically what schools and our government are telling us is that different people are expected to perform differently based purely on our appearance. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
We have to put an end to this kind of profiling and race hustling by our government. What kind of message is this sending to our young people? If you look a certain way you are only expected to ever achieve (blank) and nothing more... you can't help it. THIS IS VILE. Also, let's stop using their terminology which exacerbates racial tension, like "minorities" or "people of color" or "urban." We are all Americans for crying out loud.
What's wrong with the following statement? (which I've heard before but can't site specifically):
The school had a predominantly minority student body.
If you don't see the problem in that then you've already been brainwashed.
