I think some things though, have changed for the better.. like asking all the kids to bring valentines for ALL the kids.. I can't imagine what it must have been like for the poor kid, back in the day, who nobody liked.. perhaps because he had a condition unknown at the time which affected his social skills.. real life may be that he wouldn't get a valentine if by choice.. but an awfully sad thing for a little kid to experience, and heart wrenching for the parents too! I thought that was a pretty good idea when they came up with that one.
Ironic in that the above paragraph is the absolute epitome of what I mean, as it addresses directly the feminization of males, indoctrinated socialism, and why our schools are failing to prepare our youth for life, and it illustrates why and how it's happening. Excellent post!
No fault of yours, that's who you are, but the very reasons you give for liking this are the very reasons why this sort of thing shouldn't happen.
"Poor kid.... who nobody liked...", "awfully sad thing to experience," and "heart wrenching"...
That's a mom speaking. That's pure emotion. That's a mom speaking who wants to protect her kids, nay, all kids, from any and all things unpleasant. There's nothing wrong with that, except that it doesn't teach kids how to deal with disappointment and unpleasantness. It's also indoctrinated socialism because no one is left out, everyone is entitled to receive a Valentine, even the ones nobody would ever want as their Valentine. Those who left out are disenfranchised victims! Oh, my achy breaky heart.
Oddly enough, this kind of involuntary cooperation also devalues the purpose of Valentines Day itself. Those who, back in the day, were left out of Valentines Day tend to value it and appreciate it much more as an adult, and thus tend to be more romantic as a whole.
In addition, solving problems with emotions, that's a female thing, not a male thing, and when males see most or all problems solved by emotions it teaches them to "think" female. Women will say that boys shouldn't be afraid to cry or get in touch with their emotions and let their emotions out, but that's what little girls do, not little boys, and little boys need to go through the basics of being a little boy in order to learn how to be a man. Otherwise, we end up with a world full of girlie men. We end up with a world chocked full of liberals
All this is about as silly as banning peanut butter and jelly from school lunch boxes because one sniveling little snot has a peanut allergy.
