A book about guns....at a school. GASP!
About once a month, at the school where I work, we have a book vendor who comes in and leaves a display of books, stationary, greeting cards, gizmos and gadgets, and other assorted items that they sell below retail to the school staff. They leave their display and an order form on the counter in the copy room and if you want to order anything you put your name/item/amount on the order sheet and they leave it for you the next week. Anyway, I was looking over the stuff for sale and I happened to pick up the order sheet clipboard and underneath it was a book about guns...Field & Stream's, The Total Gun Manual. I said loudly, to no one in particular, "Hmm WHO was hiding THIS book under the clip board?" And I propped it up, front and center of the book display. Later I walked into the copy room looking for a decent pencil sharpener (you'd think that would be an easy find in a school...not so much)... and there were two teachers, with their backs to me, looking at the book display and I heard one say to the other, "My friend asked me, 'so is your State the one that let's people carry guns around?' and I said, 'yeah because apparently our legislators have nothing better to do." I froze in my tracks, let what I just heard sink in for a second and said, "It's the 2nd Amendment ....good grief." They didn't even turn around.. I just walked out muttering "unbelievable...wow."
These are people who are educating our kids and they don't even understand OR appreciate the Constitution. Every day around there is another disappointment.
(I just counted it up. I have 30 working days left before I never have to go back there again.)
