Does your son own a gun? Wendy Rittenhouse would not say if her son owned a rifle, but said she has no problem with teenagers possessing guns. Her son ran into a little problem when he shot at people with his semi-automatic rifle.

No, my son does not own a gun...Btw, Michigan school shooter used hand gun to k**l his classmates...Should we ban hand guns now too??🙄

DASHY

Should high school kids be afraid to go to school without a gun in their backpack so they will be ready to k**l a fellow student in self-defense. The 15-year old Michigan shooter used a semi-automatic handgun purchased by his father on Black Friday. Maybe the father should be charged with the murder of 4 high school students. In the wake of the shooting, police seized a number of weapons from the shooter's home. Everybody is shocked, life goes on, and nothing is done about violence in our schools.

Not when you provoke the situation that places your self in mortal jeopardy ; that is the dumbest s**t I have ever heard in my life ,also The protesters had a lawful constitutional right to be there Rittenhouse did not.Read the constitution - darling, the right to assemble and protest ,etc,etc,etc.where in the constitution does it give Rittenhouse the right to inhibit or intimidate ( by brandishing a weapon) those Americans that were excercising their uncle Sam given unalienable right to petition and protest.Rittenhouse did what the Chinese government did in Tienneman square.Go bigger darling.

What a silly post.

I agree with what you wrote here. Thanks for writing that.

I think there's a contrary detail though; if there was property destruction then the people destroying property were not entirely within their rights. Not that that would excuse Rittenhouse showing up with a provocatively ostentatious big gun, nor k*****g nor maiming people.

proud republican Loc: RED CALIFORNIA

He didn't show up with gun, the gun was already in his friend's house...And he did not cross the State line, he was already in his friend's house!

"a provocatively ostentatious big gun"

Is that why criminals attack police? Because they are carrying 'a provocatively ostentatiously' pistol in a macho looking leather holster?

Quit trying to make excuses for criminals who attacked Rittenhouse. And he is "excused" because he acted in self defense - the death and 'maiming' are the responsibilty of the criminals.

The r****rs noticed he had a big gun when he began shooting at them.

Déjà vu to the clinton shut down!!! Raising a bunch of mushy little pansy ass twits… Don’t you know that’s the agenda of the Democrats?

The only thing salvageable about the p******c was the first need for homeschooling where parents got a pretty good view of what is in is not being taught in our schools and all the changes coming because of it. There is hope yet!

TexaCan Loc: Homeward Bound!

We have our problems, no doubt, but our school system is not yet under the complete control of a C*******t Party like it is in China! We have seven family members that either teach or work in the Public Texas School System and a South Texas College….…..all is not lost yet………BTW, they are conservative Christians and they don’t hide it!

This one statement from this article just about covers many of your anti-American, pro-China comments!…….now who’s enjoying popcorn! I have a little more to add than your usual snarky “one-liners”……..Professor! 😉

“Their job is to carry out propaganda work and implement the central party line, as decided by Beijing, it said.”


https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/ccp-universities-04302021083055.html

The ruling Chinese C*******t Party (CCP) is tightening its ideological grip on higher education in the country, ordering structural changes that will allow a far greater degree of party control in the day-to-day running of colleges and universities.

Institutions are now required to ensure that their in-house party committee "exercises comprehensive leadership" over their teaching, scientific research and administration, according to a revised set of rules issued on April 22.

"All major issues should be collectively discussed and decided by the party committee," the "Regulations on the Work of CCP Grassroots Organizations in Colleges and Universities" said.

Party branches should also be set up to guide the work of teachers, researchers on specific projects, undergraduate students and other sub-groups within a university, it said, choosing members with "a strong party spirit."

Their job is to carry out propaganda work and implement the central party line, as decided by Beijing, it said.

They are also charged with "resolutely preventing and resist all kinds of illegal missionary and infiltration activities," it said, in an apparent reference to religious organizations and political dissent.

Full-time CCP staffers should number not less than one percent of the total faculty and student body, with at least one teacher of political ideology per 350 students, it said.

China will make university students undergo political education in CCP leader Xi Jinping's personal brand of ideology, dubbed "socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era," experts say. Credit: RFA Graphics
Xi Jinping's personal brand of ideology

The new rules mean that many more people will be hired just to deliver political education in CCP leader Xi Jinping's personal brand of ideology, dubbed "socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era," according to Carl Minzner, professor of Chinese law and politics at Fordham Law School.

"That’s Beijing – in small but significant ways – steadily increasing proportions of people on university budgets committed to political ideology, rather than academics," Minzner commented via his Twitter account after the new rules were published.

He said the move comes hand-in-hand with a growing number of ideological research centers embedded in Chinese universities dedicated to the study of Xi Jinping Thought.

"This is Beijing telling the schools (and all of academia) 'don’t think you’re special'," he wrote, citing a string of firings of outspoken Chinese academics in recent years.

Chen Kuide, executive chairman of the Princeton China Institute in the United States, said the CCP is keen to expand ideological education in all areas of life ahead of the centenary of the CCP's founding on July 1.

"It looks as if they will be putting a huge amount of further effort into this [under Xi Jinping]," Chen said. "It will definitely work for a while."

He said the move appeared to be in pr********n for a change in diplomatic policy in recent years.

"Internationally, they are preparing for the next phase of competition [on the world stage]," he said.

In December 2019, students at Shanghai's Fudan University staged a rare protest after the school joined other top institutions in removing references to "freedom of thought" from their charters.

The revised charters now refer to "patriotic dedication," and state that party committee is "the core of the university," and will be responsible for setting its direction and making decisions.

Since taking power in 2012, Xi has launched an unprecedented set of ideological controls and boosted the institutions needed to enforce them.

Xi has repeatedly warned members of the political class not to go off message in public, and set up a nationwide monitoring agency to supervise and detain anyone remotely connected with the government, including civil servants, teachers and academics, journalists, and contractors.

The authorities are stepping up monitoring of staff and students at the country's higher education institutions through the use of personal data, surveillance cameras in classrooms, as well as via student informants. who are the ruling Chinese C*******t Party's eyes and ears on the ground.

Student informants are continually being recruited at China's universities and typically report back to the authorities around once every two weeks, according to online documents.

Xi's approach stems from a 2013 article titled "Improving Ideological and Political Work Among Young Teachers in Colleges and Universities," and from his reiteration of the "Seven Taboos" that mustn't be discussed in public by servants of the state, including teachers.

The seven banned topics are: universal values of human rights and democratic, constitutional government; press freedom; civil society; citizens' rights; the historical mistakes of the Chinese C*******t Party; the financial and political elite; and judicial independence.

Interview: ‘China wants to make sure that the Uyghur genocide is never discussed’
UN whistleblower Emma Reilly discusses how China gets the names of dissidents from the Human Rights Council.

RFA: Why were you fired?

Reilly: I was fired for doing my job. … It was telling the t***h to member states and in public that didn’t work. It was telling people about the U.N. policy of handing names over to the Chinese government. The irony is that in court, the U.N.’s argument is that the policy is public. So, I've been fired for making public something that, when they’re in front of a judge, the U.N. says is public.

RFA: Are these names given at China’s request or does the U.N. take it upon itself to hand them over? How does it work?

Reilly: What happens is that the Chinese delegation sends an email about a couple of months before sessions of the Human Rights Council or other U.N. meetings. The Chinese delegation always talks about it as being a favor. They know they have absolutely no right to have this information, but they ask for this favor, and then the U.N. replies and does the favor. They ask about specific people. The number of people on the list varies sometimes. There are about 20 or 25 people. And then the U.N. will tell them that these people will be coming. Of course, they send Chinese police to their homes. They arrest them. They put their families in concentration camps. They disappear people. They torture people. And they have them phone their family members. Why on earth is the U.N. human rights office doing this?

RFA: How many names in total have been handed over to the Chinese?

Reilly: In total, I can’t be 100% sure because the U.N. stopped copying me on the emails, handing them to China pretty quickly. But what I can see is that after they get them, China writes a letter to U.N. security saying, ‘We don't want these people to come.’ I know whose names have been handed over when I can access those letters, [which] are on a central database within the U.N. where you can see the communications between member states and the U.N. Not all of them are there. From the ones I have, it’s somewhere between 50 and 70. But it’s more than that. I don’t know how many more.

RFA: Which names of Uyghurs were given to the Chinese? Was it only those who are about to present information to the Human Rights Council or those who have asked for assistance in finding information on their families in Xinjiang?

Reilly: I know that it’s people who applied to attend the Human Rights Council [and] some of the treaty bodies. I have evidence that a few, [such as] the Committee on Economic Social and Cultural Rights, gave names to China the last time. I don’t think it affects the working group on arbitrary detention, … which are the cases where people are most likely to be asking about specific family members. But I can't rule it out. That’s why they need to investigate it, and people need to know for sure. People need to be able to confidently contact those bodies.

I’ve given people private email addresses of the members of those bodies when I’ve had them to stop them from going via the U.N. and to get to the members directly. … Frankly, nobody knows, apart from the people who are handing over names, and that’s the problem. I knew that names for the Human Rights Council were handed over at least in 2020. I don't know if the fact that I've gone so public in 2021 means that it has stopped. <snip>

The unarmed criminals were trying to disarm the kid with the big semi-automatic rifle before the pretend cop k**led someone. The r****rs failed in their efforts. Kyle k**led two of the r****rs and was charged with murder. He was found not guilty of the crime of murder by reason of self-defense. 175 protesters in Kenosha were arrested for violating curfew, carrying concealed weapons, burglary and drug possession. Kyle Rittenhouse was the only protester who was charged with murder.

I don't get your point. Are you for or against the Office of United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)? The American education system promotes freedom of thought rather than patriotic dedication. This may change. Recently most Republican politicians are opposed to teaching critical race theory (CRT) in public schools.
