Students out of control

I was sent these two links this morning:

http://wdef.com/video/teacher_attack_caught_on_tap/04/2008

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/24041784#24041784

I have to comment on these. Both of these videos are of a student attacking a teacher. As bad as that was, when the teacher went to get help from her principal, the teacher was told, in effect, it was her fault because she said a "trigger" word and that initiated the attack. Her trigger word? "I'm going to defend myself." "Defend" is now a cause for an attack.

We are seeing a direct result of two things (1) the result of God being removed from schools. Children are being taught that since they came from animals they are no better than animals and the behavior reflects that. Since there is no higher power there is no accountability. Schools are being built now that look like prisons instead of schools. They have armed guards, "resource officers" usually deputy sheriffs patrolling the halls. When you demonstrate to people they are animals in a cage, dont be surprised if they act like that.
(2) - since pre-school, students have been taught "dont fight back", appease your attacker, give him what he wants and he will go away. He will, after he severely hurts you or kills you and takes everything you have. Appeasement worked really well when England tried to appease Hitler in 1939. And it works just as well today. Look at Virginia Tech. While my prayers and sympathies are with the families, the multiple deaths were a direct result of their being taught from pre-school - dont fight back. If one, just one student had stood up and thrown something at the shooter, or charged him while he was reloading, then I have no doubt the outcome would have been different. But no, much the shame of the public schools and their indoctrination, the kids waited quietly on their knees while the shooter killed each one, saving the last bullet for himself.
I may be asked, well, Preacher, what would you do? We never know what we would do until we get in the situation. I'm no different. But my prayer is this: "Lord, give me the strength to do SOMETHING."

This is representative of the culture we live in now.

we really messed up once before by taking God out of the schools, now look what the school turned into. Kids and teachers are not safe in school anymore, schools use to be a safe heaven for kids but not anymore. Going to school is like sending your kids on the streets. School will be better when we put GOD back in it. " Jesus rules "
