Remember the little boy that got suspended for chomping his pop-tart into a gun? Well Mark Steyn says this incident my seem small, but it’s no little thing. And not only was the suspension itself absurd, but then a memo went out to parents, according to Steyn, telling them that school counselors were available to assist any child who had issues with this inappropriate gesture. After reading the memo, Steyn said this:
You’re doomed America! You’re done for! No society can survive this level of stupidity! The school counselor is available to meet with any students who are traumatized by hearing reports of some guy four grades below them who nibbles a pop-tart into a gun-like shape.I’ve never subscribed to this whole greatest generation thing, you know. But you look at those guys, they weren’t much older than the kids from the school. A lot of them were like seventeen, eighteen years old. And they’re storming out of these transport ships in the churning waters of the English Channel and the North Sea and they’re landing on the beaches of Normandy. And their getting out of these and they stomping up the beaches and they’re taking German gunfire and all the rest.Do you think if you raised people so that you make a school counselor to available to them in cased they’ve been traumatized by someone who was nibbled a pop-tart into the shape of a gun….do you think if they’re ever called upon to get out those ships and the storm the beaches of Normandy, do you think they’re gonna be up to that?‘Oh no look, the Germans, they’re all holding pop-tarts! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!’No society can survive this level of stupidity! These small things are not small. They tell you a lot about the institutionalized stupidity of our institutions.
