There once was a time when we learned that it was not right to go around punching and hitting people, especially if the only reason was name calling and chiding. Many parents teach their kids to defend themselves but only when someone hits them first.
Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.
Today it's being re-written.
Sticks and Stones may break me bones, but provocative words are worse.
The new moral of the story, attack anyone who uses words you don't agree with. Especially if they threaten someone else. You need not wait for them to attack you directly.
Can you imagine?
Mother - Billy, why did you punch Bobby in the nose?
Son - Mom, Bobby was going to hit Kyle first.
Mother - Bobby was going to hit Kyle, but he didn't actually hit Kyle?
Son - Yup. That's what I learned from watching Fox News. It's ok to attack someone if they were going to attack your friend first.
Mother - Oh, that makes perfect sense....
Really???
Is this the new lesson we are going to teach our children?
