Wow, B2G is actually expressing a CONSERVATIVE view, on the need for parents to actually be assertive in their kids' lives.
Liberals believe in Hillary's infamous "It takes a village" philosophy, that parents should have as little influence as possible in their kids' lives if any at all.
btw, a big part of why bullying thrives is because the liberal- run education system (And I say this as a substitute teacher who's observed this firsthand) is filled with administrators who believe disciplining students in any effective way "Stifles their creativity" or "Harms their self- esteem." This creates a consequence- free environment in which bullying thrives.
Here's a firsthand example of this:
Last February, I had a particularly bad subbing job (And on my birthday, of all days) at a high school, with things coming to a real head in the long last period. This hefty, aggressive freshman girl who I'll call "Carol" was repeatedly harassing a boy in class in a manner which could definitely be classified as bullying by any reasonable definition. I finally had enough and called the office to have her removed. Usually, when that happens when I'm on a subbing job, that's the end of the matter, and I don't see the troublemaking student again for the rest of the period.
Not this time.
Ten minutes after I had her removed, "Carol" was hanging out in the hallways outside of the classroom, banging on our doors and doing everything her tiny mind could conceive to harass us and disrupt class. When the boy she had been mistreating earlier had to go and use the bathroom, she was waiting for him in the hallways and struck him in the head. When I had to open the locked door to the classroom to let him back in, "Carol" tried to take advantage of the momentarily open door to force herself back into the classroom. Fortunately, I'm a relatively strong guy, and was able to pull the door enough to make it shut and lock again. The students cheered when I did this (One of them was so impressed he quasi- jokingly showered me with an almost Chuck Norris- level amount of admiration). I called the office to report what "Carol" was doing and see if they could send a deputy or administrator to take her back to the office, but they didn't do anything.
At the end of the period, when I was opening the door to let the students out, "Carol" thrust her head in and howled at the boy from before, "YO MAMA'S P&$$Y SMELLS LIKE FLEAS!"
I of course left a lengthy report of what she did and what else happened that day for the teacher I was filling in for to read, and when checking out with the office, told them that if the school's administrators cared at all about discipline or order, they'd have that repulsive girl suspended.
The evening of the next day, I was helping with the youth group at my church, and when I told one of the kids there who went to that school about what happened, he said he knew of "Carol," that she had been doing grotesque things like that all the time. He said that apparently nothing was done to her after the way she treated my class and I, as he saw her in school that very day.
It's true proof of just how ineffective so much of our liberal- run school system is at trying to preserve order and stop bullying, and THAT'S why bullying is thriving.
