The Message Column

People desparite for attention put out false news, to drum-up outrage. Sometimes it seems obvious to me the efforts of amature propagandists.

And then there is this self-rightgeous pose, as if arms folded, facing in two directions, like they are there to defend the right and might. They always film this kind of stuff in slow-mo mode, and they have the ethnically not white-bread guys node with a look of 'we are the watchers and you better pay heed and do what the spokes-maums say. I call this kind of effort 'agenda mongering'. The genre leans of stock-outrage. The genre puts out an assumption of 'just folks' only calling for 'muscle' to do what is 'right'. It's OK that they call for civil rights violations for the victims of their 'media efforts'. They wave their multi-hued (I'd say 'colored', but past agenda'd efforts have made that word . . . ballistic (for lack of a better word).) banner waving. They wear their colors on their sleve.

And so, for example, at a local highschool (but very famous and old) there are some students who claim that 'insensitive' words are used to describe people's 'ethnic identity' (I am not quoting). Basically it was a stock progreesive student effort to 'raise awareness'. Well, bullies will be bullies. And it's best to start dealing with them early. If you can't handle insensitive language by the 12th grade, then maybe you don't belong at the premiere Boston high school (with the possibility for scholarship!).

And so then it came out early in the week that a gang, which originated in LA (as per the Wikipedia page about that gang) recruits are very many local area high schools. And that underaged 'children', called 'dreamers' by the Socialists (Obama, et al), who we can not know their racial back ground, but that we can just see by looking at their pictures in the paper. That sentence is going to need some editing.

In any case, ya, I get it. Girls don't like mean language. But the idea of a 'cause' to limit speach of students? What for? To let the corrupt power have a reason for doing some 'sensitivity awareness'. Some of a more conservative bend call such 'awareness training' 'progressive indoctrination'. "Clear just-so-thinking folks (just folks), can just see how open, honest and necessary such training is to maintain the reduction of stock outrage." that was a quote from an imaginary Progressive (Socialist) justifying their need for such 'awareness training seminars.'

All of it, the whole deal, was just a money grab from the Federal and governmental coffers of people of a far-left Marxist bend. We need to be 'trained' for 'racial and ethnic sensitivity'? How much per pubil is the agency paying for this 'training'? You know, since most people of that type (and I don't say what type) vote that lefty way . . . (it seems so, though that probably isn't true).

Must be a sweet business model, running that kind of 'awareness training seminar'.

Well, in any case, the news about the high school gang-member murderer put the agenda mongering of the fussy high school girls who are worried about 'the language and behaviors' of their peers. Tell it to your peers. Why does it need to be featured news in the Evening on local stations?

News Flash: High School students can often be jerky and insensitive.

Drug addiction is the biggest plauge in years. And High School students are some of the victims of overdose. Students who never say another racially insensitive thing, or speak without proper cow-towing to gender-identity pronoun issues. Yes, drug overdose victims, dead in the morque, don't call you an [some racially insensitive word describing people through obvious physical or ethnically cultural differences], or they don't call you a [equally vile word describing people based upon a crass name for genitalia, words like this are reffered to, usually, as " the some letter word", as in "don't ever use the [some letter] word."

I understand how Socialists and Progressives like to encourage children to be politically active. I'm not putting that down. But it ought to be a better choice of topic. Ya, we know that kids can be jerks. And they can be mean to each other. But yelping about that to the media, and acting like it's a racial issue, just shows how much more these high school activasts have to learn. look it, I'm on your side against the jerks of the world. But you don't win by 'beating' them with process, and having them attend polically leaning 'seminars' and being forced to follow false codes of speach (I say false because the only code should be free speach, but free speach must face the consequences.) In the case of kids that say mean things: they say whatever mean thing that they imagine will burn you up. They play-the role of whatever you imagine to be the villian person. You created this super racists person from an arch-type personality (read :non real character from sociological (Socialist?) fiction) and they fill the roll because you are so rediculous to believe that people really are that cravin and racist. They play the role that you wrote!

Ya, they start them early. And it's sad that they teach them bullying behaviors. And they want to ban the word 'bully' because it could be used to apply to their candidate (who is quite a lucky gal). Ya, it's all about politics. And they used these high school girls as props for their media campaign against highschool racism (as imagined).

Is there real racism? There are real people who say what seem to be racist things. Those people are not to be bullied, but to be educated. And codes of speach, they are not really designed to raise awarness. Instead such formal speach 'codes' serve as a way to put the clamp down on political speach.

It's better to let the world deal with it. When people say mean stuff, or do mean things, you can't go running to 'authority'. That is called, by many, 'snitching'. Also, if someone is so hurt and broken that they use hateful rethoric of division towards their fellow students, those fellow students ought to be worried more about the sad things that happened to this person who vocalizes the hate. But the solution seems to often be to hang around the necks of all new requirements to worry about violating the arbitrary policies of code of 'ethcial' speach.

And here is where it gets tricky, and why it is so easy to fool kids into going along with such 'codes' of speach: the code of speach already exists. It just doesn't have the sanctioning of authorities. People are already dealing with the consequences of being jerks and saying rude and mean things. How horrible their life must have been at times to make them be hateful like they can be? But how to deal with troubled kids? Not by ratting them out. Not by making them an excuse for a free speach clamp-down. Codes of conduct? Of course! but they don't be formalized and used for criminal

We sure do need a billion dollar idea.

Inspiration is our prayer this week. We are wanting it here, because it's esoteric to an extreme and not generating the desired effect upon the web-viewing public.
