High School Kids Not Allowed to Earn Money Shoveling Snow
The voluntary exchange of value for value without coercion (i.e., capitalism) comes naturally to people. So if we are to achieve a coercion-based oligarchical collectivist utopia, we must stamp it out in every young mind. This entails not only shutting down lemonade stands (see here, here, and here), but also applying government intervention when kids try to make a buck shoveling snow:
Matt Molinari and his friend Eric Schnepf, both seniors in High School [in Bridgewater, NJ], were going door-to-door advertising their snow shoveling services in advance of the storm. School was out, and instead of sitting inside and playing XBOX, these two young entrepreneurs felt the fire of enterprise and decided to turn their down time into an actual dime.
However, Molinari and Schnepf apparently didn’t realize that in order to make a dime you have to pay a quarter — to the state. When the two boys were out trying to rustle up some business during what they saw as an opportunity, along came the uniformed agents of the state, to put this unapproved business venture out to pasture.
Police told them they would need a permit to continue.
In this particular county, anyone selling goods and services door to door must apply for a license that can cost as much as $450 for permission that is valid for only 180 days; after all freedom ain’t free.
How lucky some of us were to grow up when America was an exciting land of opportunity. But at least today’s kids have their Xboxes, presumably paid for by someone else since they aren’t allowed to earn their own money.

High School Student Punished for Saying “God Bless America”
This isn’t America we have been living in lately. It’s some kind of bizarre nightmare of leftist authoritarianism. Here’s proof: Todd Starnes reports that a Florida high school student was recently punished as a thought criminal for saying “God bless America.”
A spokesperson for the Nassau County School District told me the student at Yulee High School deviated from the approved script on the morning of Feb. 9th and uttered the words “God Bless America” — apparently causing angst among two atheist students.
Two screeching moonbats is twice as many as it takes in a tyranny of the minorities.
“It wasn’t part of the scripted morning announcements,” district spokesperson Sharyl Wood said. “The principal took the appropriate steps in speaking with the student and disciplining the student.”
The nature of the discipline was not disclosed. Maybe he had to write “I hate America and God” on the blackboard a few hundred times.
To the extent Principal Natasha Drake isn’t a militant progressive, she is a coward, unwilling to fight for a kid’s right to say something leftists don’t want to hear.
Instead of reporting their angst to the principal, the atheist students reached out to the American Humanist Association. The AHA’s legal arm – the Appignani Humanist Legal Center — fired off a testy letter to the principal and school district on the students’ behalf.
“It is inappropriate and unlawful for a public school to start the school day with an official statement over the intercom stating, ‘God Bless America,’ for such a statement affirms God-belief, validates a theistic worldview and is invidious toward atheists and other nonbelievers,” the American Humanist Association wrote in a letter to the principal of Yulee High School.
The AHA said the student violated the Constitution and broke the law by invoking God’s name over the public address system. They demanded the school immediately cease and desist under the threat of a lawsuit.
The response was cringing compliance.
Under our system, deep-pocketed moonbat organizations can’t lose. It costs a fortune to fight a lawsuit; so much cheaper and easier to knuckle under to the fascists — with whom not only most judges but most people working in education sympathize anyway.
“The daily validation of the religious views of God-believers resigns atheists to second-class citizens,” the AHA wrote in their letter.
Therefore, they have the right to override any reasonable interpretation of the Constitution and forbid all mention of God, lest their fragile faith in nihilism be shattered.

The Seminole County School District Makes Students Recite Islamic Prayer
The Seminole County School District is doing major damage control after a student’s father found out that the school was teaching his son about Islam in a very favorable light and even forced students to recite a prayer that the teacher had written on the board. The father was angry and took his concerns to the school.
This is the prayer students were forced to recite:
fhttp://www.theblaze.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Screen-Shot-2015-02-10-at-3.35.27-PM-620x344.jpg
Ron Wagner, the father said that he is not a very religious man but the fact that the school forcing Islam on his son and the other students was very troubling. He did not even know his son was being taught this until he saw a text the teacher sent reminding him about the prayer rug assignment and to study an assigned packet on Islam.
The textbook, World History is from Prentice-Hall publishing. WFTV has more on the subject:
Inside of the book is a chapter dedicated to the “Rise of Islam,” including prayers and scriptures from the Quran. What’s more disturbing for Wagner is that the first 100 pages discussing Judaism and Christianity are missing. The district blames a manufacturer defect in 68 books that are only a year old.
The Seminole County School District reportedly conducted an investigation after hearing Wagner’s concerns and determined no indoctrination or inappropriate instruction was taking place. Further, Dr. Michael Blasewitz, who is in charge of the high school curriculum, told the father that the “Pillars of Islam are benchmarks in the state curriculum,” according to Wagner.
Blasewitz also reportedly “stormed out” during an interview about the Islam lessons, telling the news outlet, “If anything, [the curriculum] is a little imbalanced toward Christianity and Judaism.”
I don’t blame him for storming out before the interviewer had a chance to point out there are no teachings of Christianity or Judaism in the book. That might have been embarrassing.

“All-Female” Bryn Mawr Will Accept Men Pretending to Be Women but Not Women Pretending to Be Men
Only weeks ago it would have seemed impossible, but already Mount Holyoke College has been surpassed in its moonbattery. Readers may recall that the ostensibly all-female school, which put the kibosh on the “Vagina Monologues” for not being “inclusive of transgender students,” now accepts mentally disturbed men who imagine themselves to be women. Ostensibly all-female Bryn Mawr ups the ante by proclaiming that not only will it accept men pretending to be women, but it will not accept women if they pretend to be men.
If you can get your head around this lunacy, you must have done graduate work in postsanity anticisgender LGBTQXYZPDQ studies. In all seriousness, this is straight off the Bryn Mawr College website:
[T]he Board of Trustees of Bryn Mawr College voted at its February 7 meeting to accept the recommendation of its board working group charged with reviewing the College’s mission with regard to transgender, non-binary and gender nonconforming applicants.
Specifically, the board-accepted recommendation strongly affirms the College’s mission — to educate women to be future leaders — and in this mission context more clearly articulates the eligible undergraduate applicant pool. In addition to those applicants who were assigned female at birth [i.e., women], the applicant pool will be inclusive of transwomen and of intersex individuals who live and identify as women at the time of application [i.e., perverted weirdos who are not women]. Intersex individuals who do not identify as male are also eligible for admission. Those assigned female at birth who have taken medical or legal steps to identify as male are not eligible for admission.
You don’t know whether to guffaw or scream in horror — unless you are a parent paying the hyperinflated tuition. Then you will definitely scream in horror.
To say someone was “assigned female at birth” is like saying a duck was “assigned duck at birth.” A duck will always be a duck, even if you glue little antlers on its head and proclaim it to be a deer. Likewise, a woman will always be a woman, despite whatever grotesque appendages might be surgically affixed.
If these people will lie about the most fundamental basics of biological reality in order to advance insane and corrosive leftist ideology, what are the odds anyone comes out of that school with a decent education?

Colorado School Suspends 6-Year-Old For Using Fingers To Make Shape Of A Gun…
finger
Are adults still running schools these days?
Via KRDO:
A Colorado Springs first-grader was suspended from school after pointing his fingers at a classmate in the shape of a gun.
Six-year-old Elijah goes to Stratton Meadows Elementary School. On Monday, he pointed at a classmate in the shape of a gun and said, “You’re dead.”
According to his behavior report, an administrator spoke with him about what being dead means and about not confusing “make-believe” or things in games with reality. And he received a one-day suspension for threats against peers.
“I know they have zero tolerance, but more of a maybe no recess,” his dad, Austin Thurston said. “Going as far as a one-day suspension is a little extreme for a six-year-old in a first-grade class.”

It’s Come To This: Nevada Bill Seeks To Legalize Pop-Tart And Finger Guns To Stop Schools From Suspending Students…
PopTartGunjpg
Amazing to think they actually need legislation like this.
Via Daily Caller:
Nevada Republicans have introduced a bill that would legalize Pop-Tart guns, finger guns and other non-lethal non-firearms in the state’s elementary schools.
“A little plastic gun that small is not going to be mistaken for a real gun,” Republican Assemblyman Jim Wheeler told the state Assembly’s education committee on Wednesday, according to KOLO News.
To drive the point home, a supporter of the bill treated members of the committee to tasty Pop-Tarts to observe how harmless they are, a reference to a case two years ago in Maryland where an 8-year-old boy was suspended after nibbling a cherry Pop-Tart into the shape of a gun.
