High School organizes parent-on-child kissing as entertainment

Are these government-funded schools TRYING to corrupt and confuse our children?

From Dateline Zero

Video of the “event” has been racking up a lot of views — currently in the thousands — since it was posted December 10. The incident happened December 8.

The students were blindfolded, and then told that “someone” was going to kiss them. The “someone” was their own parents. It’s wrong on several levels, it is humiliating, and it was organized by Rosemount High School administrators. And, yes, it took place in view of the children at the school, because it was during an assembly.

Even though it’s less than 59 seconds, I couldn’t watch it all — it’s too upsetting for me. However, I did see enough to notice that the “kisses” were full blown make-out sessions. One article mentions one mother actually “moved her son’s hand down to her behind during the encounter. Another mom has her son down on the gym floor.”

Those poor kids.

The principle, John Wollersheim, has issued a bullshit apology: “There is no question that people were offended. I apologize to those who were offended, and we won’t do it again.”

There’s enough blame to go around: the administrators, the principle, and certainly the parents.

WARNING: Rant Ahead

I do need to get this rant off my chest, though; because this seems to be only the latest episode in a larger problem.

What is it with public (read: GOVERNMENT) schools lately? Are they trying to screw up our kids? I mean, maybe I’m just being a conspiracy nut, but it sure as hell has been seeming like the government school system is hell bent on destroying our kids.

According to Charol Shakeshaft, the researcher of a little-remembered 2004 study prepared for the U.S. Department of Education, “the physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests.”

That study warned the U.S. Dept of Education that, according to “the most accurate data available at this time, nearly 9.6 percent of students are targets of educator sexual misconduct sometime during their school career.” [via LifeSiteNews.com, and Wizbang]

That means every child currently in the government school system will likely know someone who was sexually abused by an educator, or will be sexually abused.

Sexual abuse aside, there have been so many other stories in the past year or so, more than I care to link to — of children being restrained at school without the parent’s knowledge, children being cuffed and charged with assault, kids having tracking devices places on them by the schools, kids being spied on by school administrators by video cams in their own homes…

If a parent were to treat their own children like this, the government would take the child away from the parents. But because an employee of the State does it, I guess it’s “ok.”
