Cookies

Every time the state takes, or talks about taking parental rights away from parents, I wonder what things will be like when my children have kids of their own.

I firmly believe that the state screws up most of what it does because it wants a cookie-cutter answer to everything.

This would be great if every kid was the same, but the state is not allowed to admit that kids are individuals.

Look at the way the government handles schools.

In cases where it has been determined that test scores are too low, the bright answer of the state is to make tests easier.

I’ve heard the arguments that uniform testing is unfair.

What part of UNIFORM isn’t clear?

No, the state dances around the issue, and cannot admit that some kids are just simply not as smart as others… and some teachers are simply piss poor.

But rather than admit that some kids are dumb and not wanting to get the teachers union upset by saying some teachers would make better truck drivers, let’s make tests easier so things LOOK right.

Government cookie cutter answers do not work.

The state has a teen pregnancy problem.

It’s much worse than it was when I was in high school.

I think we had 2 girls get pregnant during their senior year.

As more and more school officials told us it was ridiculous for parents to expect kids to wait to have sex, the problem of teen pregnancy began to grow.

The state’s cookie cutter answer is to let every kid to have access to condoms, even if it is without parental consent.

Now the kids who abstained are told you don’t need to wait, don’t stick to those archaic ideas of your parents, have all the sex you want, we’ll give you a condom.

Uh, guys, your approach has screwed up a lot of things.

Today I'm convinced Aids, HPV and teen pregnancy are common place because of state policies.
Parents have less control over their children, the state has more control over the kids and the results speak for themselves.

Kids believe a state that says there are no consequences to sex before marriage.

Kids believe a state that says their parent’s morals are outdated.

The latest "improvement" is that the state is talking about giving an unproven HPV vaccine to my daughters.

Some would have it mandatory, others voluntarily.

You know, I bet the state would not even consider this idea if it was held financially responsible for the problems that could arise from this unproven vaccine.

I bet the state would not be so quick to push condoms if it had to pay for unwanted pregnancies caused by condoms that didn’t work.

Parents pay for the babies after the state supersedes parental rights by teaching moral-free sex with condoms that fail.

The state only steps in if the parents are poor.

What will it be like when my grandkids are in school?

I remember buying a coke from a vending machine in grade school, no cokes for kids today. They can get all the pot and crack they want from classmates, but forget the soft drinks at lunch!

I remember the first time I kissed a girl in Jr. High. Now grade school kids are having sex on the school bus.

I remember sitting in class and looking on with shock when a Jr. High kid talked back to a teacher. Now, well, just watch the now famous YouTube video and shake your head in disgust at what cookie cutter answers have given us.

I would think poor minorities would be outraged at school systems that say they cannot be expected to reach the same high goals as their rich white counterparts and need watered-down testing.
Wouldn’t our children be excelling far beyond today’s expectations if the state would just start getting to the root of problems rather than worry about political correctness?

Wouldn’t everything improve for our kids if the state got its nose out of parent-child relationships and encouraged parents to do their job?

Wouldn’t taxes be lower if the state would just give up on the cookies?
