So, instead of teaching the kids to stand up on their hind legs and go like men, they are taught to cower in their caves in terror, fearful that the psychopathic criminals allowed to roam the streets like packs of rabid animals will cause them harm, hoping in vain that the all-powerful govmint will somehow provide the protection they should provide themselves?
I don't think that's whats being taught.

Well, lets review... the toy gun buy back was part of a larger event, which included a fire safety lesson by the local fire station, and a gun safety lesson given by a local police officer, and at the gun safety talk the cop discussed the dangers of toy guns being mistaken for real gun and vise versa.
So, I think the lesson being taught is "gun safety".
"Theyll paint them black to make them look like real guns, said Officer Braydon Wilson of the Hayward Police Department. And sometimes people will take a real gun and paint the tip orange to make it seem as if its a fake gun.What lesson do you think was intended?

Even if you think it is a stupid plan, you should give the guy credit for attempting to get the kids away from the gun/gang culture.
whats wrong with a gun culture?
What is wrong with gangs having guns? What is wrong with you?

If a kid chews his Pop-Tart into the shape of a gun.....does he get a lottery ticket, too?

Sitting and criticizing someone who is attempting to do something good is the way to go? The right wing way? You are the ones with no values and morality.
I don't say the principle has " no values and morality."
I say he's stupid.

i'l ask again. what is wrong with a gun culture?
I've learned to shrug and accept so very many of the insane and inane beliefs and programs that Liberals come up with to find Utopia here on earth...or at least in California.
But when I read this on, I just shook my head ...
1. "Strobridge Elementary Principal Charles Hill has a brilliant idea: hes holding a toy gun exchange next Saturday in which students of the Hayward, CA school can turn in a toy gun to receive a book and a raffle ticket to win one of four bicycles.
2. Playing with toy guns, saying Im going to shoot you, desensitizes them, so as they get older, its easier for them to use a real gun, he claims.
3. At Strobridge Elementary Safety Day, a local policeman will demonstrate bicycle and gun safety, (does he get to use a real gun?),....
4. Hill, defending his take-away program, asserted that police are justifiably afraid when they face armed suspects, and toy guns have been mistaken for real ones.
5. ...Yih-Chau Chang, spokesman for Responsible Citizens of California, said, Having a group of children playing cops and robbers or cowboys and Indians is a normal part of growing up.
Elementary School Beginning Toy Gun Turn-In Program
Before any say it's a fine idea....
....even a buy-back for real guns:
6. Researchers who have evaluated gun control strategies say buybacks despite their popularity are among the least effective ways to reduce gun violence. Gun buybacks popular but ineffective, experts say John Lott states that the vast majority are old or inoperable.
How is it that educrats seem oblivious to any real data, and eschew scholarship for feel-good plans?
Could this be the explanation for the horrid job they do?

I guess youths running the streets shooting each other and innocent people is fine with you. Do you condone it in your neighborhood.

Exactly how do kids kill other kids with cap guns or water guns? This has gone absolutely too far. Gangs I can understand, but kids? Really? What's more dangerous, kids or politicians?

NoNoodles, you, more than anyone, should know that I don't suffer fools gladly.
He is stupid....show me the evidence that either toy guns 'desensitize little boys to violence,' or that real gun-buy-backs have any effect on violence.
His job is to educate the little ones so that they grow up to be good citizens, moral and responsible, and recognize that this nation is the shining city on the hill.
....not make up utopian fantasies that feel good, but waste time and effort, i.e., become Liberals.

He is trying to educate the children, that is what the whole program is about. Seeing that he works with these kids, he might know a bit more about how to get through to them than you and I do. At least he is making an attempt.

They want to get the kids not thinking about guns and the gang culture.
