## Venezuela's Inflation Surges to A New High: 7459%

After backing off over the past month and a half, Venezuela's hyperinflation is surging again, making a new high of 7459% yr/yr.

# Whitehead: "Say No To 'Hardening' Schools With Zero-Tolerance Policies & Gun-Toting Cops"

Authored by John Whitehead via The Rutherford Institute,

Just what we don’t need: more gun-toting, taser-wielding cops in government-run schools that bear an uncomfortable resemblance to prisons.

Microcosms of the police state, America’s public schools already contain almost every aspect of the militarized, intolerant, senseless, overcriminalized, legalistic, surveillance-riddled, totalitarian landscape that plagues those of us on the “outside.”

Now the Trump Administration wants to double down on these totalitarian echo chambers.

The Justice Department, headed by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, has announced that it will provide funding for schools that want to hire more resource officers. The White House has also hinted that it may repeal “Rethink School Discipline” policies, heralding a return to zero tolerance policies that treat children like suspects and criminals, especially within the public schools.

As for President Trump, he wants to “harden” the schools.

What exactly does hardening the schools entail?

More strident zero tolerance policies, greater numbers of school cops, and all the trappings of a prison complex(unsurmountable fences, entrapment areas, no windows or trees, etc.).

Just when you thought this administration couldn’t get any more tone-deaf about civil liberties, they prove once again that they have absolutely no regard for the Constitution (especially the Fourth Amendment), no concept of limited government, and no concern for the growing need to protect “we the people” against an overreaching, overbearing police state.

America’s schools today are already about as authoritarian as they come.

Young people in America are now first in line to be searched, surveilled, spied on, threatened, tied up, locked down, treated like criminals for non-criminal behavior, tasered and in some cases shot.

Roped into the government’s profit-driven campaign to keep the nation “safe” from drugs, weapons and terrorism, many schools have transformed themselves into quasi-prisons, complete with surveillance cameras, metal detectors, police patrols, zero tolerance policies, lock downs, drug sniffing dogs, strip searches and active shooter drills.

It used to be that if you talked back to a teacher, or played a prank on a classmate, or just failed to do your homework, you might find yourself in detention or doing an extra writing assignment after school.

That is no longer the case.

Nowadays, students are not only punished for minor transgressions such as playing cops and robbers on the playground, bringing LEGOs to school, or having a food fight, but the punishments have become far more severe, shifting from detention and visits to the principal’s office into misdemeanor tickets, juvenile court, handcuffs, tasers and even prison terms.

These outrageous incidents are exactly what you’ll see more of if the Trump Administration gets its way.

Increasing the number of cops in the schools only adds to the problem.

Indeed, the growing presence of police in the nation’s schools is resulting in greater police “involvement in routine discipline matters that principals and parents used to address without involvement from law enforcement officers.”

Funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, these school resource officers have become de facto wardens in elementary, middle and high schools, doling out their own brand of justice to the so-called “criminals” in their midst with the help of tasers, pepper spray, batons and brute force.

For instance, 16-year-old Alex Stone was directed by his teacher to do a creative writing assignment involving a series of fictional Facebook statuses. Alex wrote, “I killed my neighbor's pet dinosaur. I bought the gun to take care of the business.”

Despite the fact that dinosaurs are extinct, the status fabricated, and the South Carolina student was merely following orders, his teacher reported him to school administrators, who in turn called the police.

What followed is par for the course in schools today: students were locked down in their classrooms while armed police searched Alex’s locker and bookbag, handcuffed him, charged him with disorderly conduct disturbing the school, arrested him, detained him, and then he was suspended from school.

Not even the younger, elementary school-aged kids are being spared these “hardening” tactics.

Paradoxically, by the time you add in the lockdowns and active shooter drills, instead of making the schools safer, school officials have succeeded in creating an environment in which children are so traumatized that they suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, nightmares, anxiety, mistrust of adults in authority, as well as feelings of anger, depression, humiliation, despair and delusion.

Instead of raising up a generation of freedom fighters—which one would hope would be the objective of the schools—government officials seem determined to churn out newly minted citizens of the American police state who are being taught the hard way what it means to comply, fear and march in lockstep with the government’s dictates.

So what’s the answer, not only for the here-and-now—the children growing up in these quasi-prisons—but for the future of this country?

How do you convince a child who has been routinely handcuffed, shackled, tied down, locked up, and immobilized by government officials—all before he reaches the age of adulthood—that he has any rights at all, let alone the right to challenge wrongdoing, resist oppression and defend himself against injustice?

Most of all, how do you persuade a fellow American that the government works for him when for most of his young life, he has been incarcerated in an institution that teaches young people to be obedient and compliant citizens who don’t talk back, don’t question and don’t challenge authority?

As we’ve seen with other issues, any significant reforms will have to start locally and trickle upwards.

For starters, parents need to be vocal, visible and organized and demand that school officials 1) adopt a policy of positive reinforcement in dealing with behavior issues; 2) minimize the presence in the schools of police officers and cease involving them in student discipline; and 3) insist that all behavioral issues be addressed first and foremost with a child’s parents, before any other disciplinary tactics are attempted.

As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, if you want a nation of criminals, treat the citizenry like criminals.

If you want young people who grow up seeing themselves as prisoners, run the schools like prisons.

If, on the other hand, you want to raise up a generation of freedom fighters, who will actually operate with justice, fairness, accountability and equality towards each other and their government, then run the schools like freedom forums.

Remove the metal detectors and surveillance cameras, re-assign the cops elsewhere, and start treating our nation’s young people like citizens of a republic and not inmates in a police state.

1. Get the criminals out of the schools (Fact: blacks and hispanics commit the vast majority of crime on a per-capita basis, so get them out of the schools, and you solve 90% of the crime and misbehavior problem). Once the blacks and hispanics are separated from the white kids, the white schools can return to being educational institutions and not detention centers.

2. Separate the girls from the boys and return to same-sex education. This is actually treating the symptom rather than the problem, as the problem is that Cultural Marxists have ruined proper gender roles and relations--especially between white girls and white boys-- and boys are being feminized and/or marginalized, leaving many young white men alienated, depressed, and angry. Young blacks, on the other hand, are allowed to be as violent as they want to be, thanks to Obama-era "disparate impact" disciplinary policies that punish schools for punishing blacks for misbehaving.

3. Stop prescribing dangerous psychoactive drugs like Adderal, Xanax, Prozac, and other stimulants and antidepressants to children. Fun fact: the overwhelming majority of these drugs are prescribed to white boys and girls. Unsurprisingly, Jewish children are not prescribed these medications, for reasons that should be obvious. Blacks don't get medicated either, probably because they never go to doctors in the first place, but also because black children are now allowed to do whatever they want in school thanks to the aforementioned "disparate impact" policies.

Until these three steps are taken, no responsible white parent should send their children to public schools. If they do, they should be prepared to deal hands-on with the extremely negative consequences.

That's called segregation.

When I was a kid, there was no niggers in my school. That's right, I went all through grade school and never saw one nigger.

But... this is a different time, and a different place. Now we have niggers all over the country. You can't segregate them, it wouldn't work. There's too many of them. So just saying "get them out of the schools" is like saying "Just flap your arms and fly away". It aint gonna happen genius, we live in a complicated world. Todays kids need to learn to live with the niggers, and the niggers need to learn to go to school, get educated, become civilized, become productive members of society. Otherwise this will become Africa, this will just become a big tribal civil war land, and most people will die.

We have to solve this, otherwise we just kill each other like all the sand niggers in the Middle East do. So is your point we aren't any better than the sand niggers in the Middle East? Is your point that we are just like all the spear checkers in Africa? We just fight and kill each other until we all die?

I think we are better than that.

If we started calling 'Them' Black People instead of your preference for 'Niggers' might be a good start ? They are not 'Spear Checkers' in Africa, they do not 'Check your Spears' They might have 'Chucked Spears' long ago but those days are long gone. Now they are more likely to Car-Jack your ass before setting fire to you with a burning Tire neckless.

"That's called segregation."

Damn right, skippy. We never should have ended it.

"Todays kids need to learn to live with the niggers"

Bullshit. Explain why. Whining that "It's too hard to undo integration" isn't an explanation, it's the sound a simpering faggot makes. Whatever can be done, can be undone. Where there's a will, there's a way.

"and the niggers need to learn to go to school, get educated, become civilized, become productive members of society."

If blacks were fixable, we would have figured it out by now. After all, we've been living with them in this country for 300 years.

"Otherwise this will become Africa, this will just become a big tribal civil war land, and most people will die."

It already is Africa, dipshit. Third world people, third world problems.

One hundred percent of us will die; fuck it, life's scary and it's all futile in the end, so let's give up and turn our country into a police state because we're too damned cowardly to think or act for ourselves.

If a third of our children end up in prison, I'd say we live in an overcriminalized nation where pretty much anything and everything is a "crime." If a third of our children end up in prison, those prisons will be ones we built for the purpose of warehousing them because that was easier than bearing the burden of properly educating them. If this is the future we leave for them, the blame lies squarely with us!

Malleus Maleficarum devnickle Thu, 03/15/2018 - 02:36 Permalink

"Only a libturd moron would downvote my post" isn't much of an argument.

First, do you really believe the only choices are to 1. arm school teachers, or 2. turn our schools into prisons, more than they already are? What will you say when your "only solution" fails, since school shootings are a complex subject with many causative factors?

Consider that a well-trained, experienced "heroic" civil servant shrank from his moral and professional duty (not legal duty, per US Supreme court) most likely because he had no idea how many suspects he was facing and what they were armed with, etc. You think middle-aged, overweight teachers with no combat experience will do any better? It takes professional soldiers years of muscle-memory training to overcome the natural desire for "flight," and even that doesn't ensure someone will be an effective trigger-puller when the balloon goes up. You should read Lt. Col Dave Grossman's study of combat and killing, On Killing.

To be clear, the points I'm making are:

1. you very much overvalue your argumentative abilities. Your argument is very weak and reeks of the binary "logic" America seems infected with lately. You're proposing two "either-or" false solutions in one sentence, and calling anyone who disagrees with you one of "them" or "crazy." "My way or the highway, no thinking encouraged!" You're no different or better than them - you are them!

2. There is no panacea. With freedom comes risk. Now, I'm not against teachers arming themselves if they so choose, though I don't think it's a "cure-all," either. I do think it'll end with some whacked out teacher slotting a student for mouthing off, sooner rather than later, which will greatly benefit gun-grabbers.

3. I do think the 2nd Amendment has already been egregiously infringed. Every adult not in prison should not be hindered in their God-given right to self-defense via concealed carry, though I think there's a strong argument to be made that it's a state's rights issue. I think, barring WWIII, this issue will be forcefully resolved at some point, and I wouldn't recommend joining the "guns are bad" crowd who clearly have no understanding of violence or self-defense.

4. The first and most obvious solution is to homeschool if possible. I realize that isn't always possible. The second is, realize this probably isn't going to get better, but we'll undoubtedly further devolve into a police state to make ourselves "feel better" via illusion and delusion. Prepare accordingly.

I usually have a Ruger LCR .357 in my front pocket but would chew through a bad guys juggler if I didn't. Even here in Alaska where guns are generally looked at like any other powerful tool teachers are not the answer. Great to arm any that are capable and willing but teachers are typically liberal-antigun even if they don't espouse. PTA needs to shoulder up to the NRA and then we may see some security.

You’re more likely to be struck by lightning than be a victim in a mass shooting. But since people are easily manipulated by emotionalism, logic doesn’t seem to matter.

So, go ahead. Teach your kids to be afraid of shadows. Train them to be good little prisoners and debt & tax serfs. They’ll insist on having their earnings & freedom (such as it is) stolen from them - “to make them safe”. You can even brainwash them into thinking this is what is ‘normal’.

’Land of the free, home of the brave’ ? Are you kidding?

And to think that some earlier generations of Americans thought freedom was more important than temporary ‘safety’. That is mind boggling to much of the current generation.

The Rutherford Institute is headed by John Whitehead, Esq., a member of the Council for National Policy, which was founded by members of the Council on Foreign Relations to be a right wing front for the CFR.

The Rutherford Institute was founded at the behest of the Reverend R. J. Rushdoony of Chalcedon, Inc., located in Vallecito CA. He also served on the board of directors along with multimillionaire Howard Ahmanson, Jr. co-founder of the Allied Business PAC. Both men are members of the Council for National Policy. Rev. Rushdooney is credited as being the 'father of Christian Reconstructionism' a belief that says democracy is a heresy and seeks to establish a Theocracy ruled by biblical law as our form of government.

From the Council for National Policy membership database:

John W. Whitehead - CNP Board of Governors (1982). Member of the Board of Advisors of the Plymouth Rock Foundation. [Miller 7] Competitive Center Board of Advisors of The Hudson Institute, author of the Freedom from Religious Persecution Act, which created a federal commission to monitor religion chaired by a presidentially- appointed Ambassador at Large on International Religious Freedom and Special Adviser to the President on Religious Persecution. In determining violations, the commission will rely on the United Nations' covenants and recognize the authority of the International Criminal Court.

Founder/President of the Rutherford Institute, established to protect the rights of Christians, has shifted to the left, according to a recent report in Christianity Today (12/7/98). The founder, John Whitehead, is making a conscious effort to make the Rutherford Institute known more as a civil-rights organization. For example, he has begun defending the civil rights of homosexuals, and he has publicly called on conservative Christians to stop using antihomosexual rhetoric. Alexis Crow, chief counsel for the Rutherford Institute (and former aide to Henry Kissinger), explained the evolution in Whitehead's thought. 'He has always worked for the underdog. And today homosexuals are an underdog.' The story of the woman taken in adultery but forgiven by Jesus eventually changed Whitehead's thinking. Whitehead concluded that the law is not ultimate, but that 'human beings can be above the law at some point.'

Whitehead also stirred controversy over his decision to take the Paula Jones case. He says he took the case because he believed her and because he wanted to increase the profile of the Institute. The case, however, has cost his organization hundreds of thousands in legal expenses and lost donations. Whitehead says he likes President Clinton, and if it weren't for the president's position on abortion, would vote for him. Rutherford Institute is also recommended to Scientologists in need of legal defense.
