On the issue of schools being public or private:

In 1990 I was in a high school parking lot and a kid backed into me with his pickup. More specifically, he parked the rear end of his truck in my back seat.

He had no insurance.

Police were summoned and I was told that the student could not be charged with having no insurance because he was on PRIVATE property.

Sure enough... The school property is deemed "private" because it is owned by an entity known as the Washoe County School District.

Shocked me.

Just because SCOTUS ruled in that case doesn’t mean the same battle cannot be fought all over again.

Happens all the time.....

These kids are smart and articulate.
They also have a very strong rallying cry.

Encouraging our youth to become active
in the electoral process is highly commendable.
Conservatives, however, may not agree.

I would have no problem if the K-12 schools were like when I went 40+ years ago and presented both sides of the argument and let the kids decide, instead of the liberal propaganda machine they are now.
I remember in a High school government class asking the teacher if he voted for Ford or Carter, he refused to answer. He would lay out both sides of an argument, let us debate and give our opinion then put the matter to a vote. I seriously doubt 40+ years later anyone teaches HS government class like Mr Furnell. Pretty sure all class time is now spent preaching liberalism and denouncing conservatism.

Nothing like a sweeping generalization to state your case.

It is what it is, generally speaking. You know it and I know it.

I know nothing of the sort.
There are millions of teachers.
Unfortunately, some are conservatives.

Universities?
That's another story.
Higher level of thought - more liberalism.

If schools are public property, then banning guns is violating the 2nd amendment.

It is spot on, what is wrong with generalizing and stereotyping if it is accurate?

You said you hadn't been in a school in 40+ yrs, then for some reason claim to know exactly what goes on in them now.

That doesn't sound "accurate", it sounds stupid.

Judging by interacting with the kids today, apparently nothing is going on.

Kids are dumber than dirt.
Obviously being groomed to take over the DNC, or at least swallow its BS.

The ones at my local McDonalds should be PAYING $15 an hour to be there!

I know people who currently teach school, that is where I get my information from. What is up with the liberals and the personal attacks, is that all they have? Have I ever called any posts by you, Fantastic Dan stupid? Of course I will give up challenging any liberal calling me stupid or ignorant to an I.Q. test as I believe I am up to a dozen of them who have backed down and half of those reside here.

At least nothing is going on in their heads.

They whine that someone needs to do something to protect them from evil guns. When someone does something to try to protect them (as feeble as clear backpacks are), they whine that that is an invasion of their privacy.

Make the world safe for us, but don't do anything that affects us directly.

I try to train 17 yr olds to run a cash register. 1 out of 10 can do it correctly when it comes to counting.

90% also do not understand the concept of customer service. They are stone faced and speak in such a perfunctory manner that it’s like a zombie speaking. And they cannot understand why they are suddenly a bus boy..........
