Protecting Kids from Bathroom Bullies

Original Article

Perhaps because I was bullied as a child, I made sure to enroll my kids in a “Bully Proof” Jiu Jitsu class. The first rule of dealing with bullies is to “avoid the fight at all costs.” That’s the second rule too. But, at some point, you have to defend yourself to avoid becoming a victim. One of the hardest parts of standing up to a bully is that they’re often loud and aggressive, narcissistic and angry. Some bullies are even skilled at making it appear they’re the victim. To defend against a bully, you must set good boundaries. That kind of boundary setting

Good for Alabama!! Hopefully Florida will pass a similar bill.

I was bullied by a boy my age when I was a boy. Some years later at a High School reunion he approached me and apologized. I later learned that his father was a victim of chronic depression who did not treat this child well. We all have a past.

Our problems with liberal policies can be summarized in the person of that bubble-headed female who “mentioned that she was looking forward to having a nice day — the last day of the session — and had dressed up for the occasion and, now, her plans were ruined by this “horrible” bill.” That’s the mentality we’re dealing with. Lord, give us strength!

Students cannot count on teachers or principals to protect them anymore. So they definitely need to learn how to protect themselves. The best protection of all during these times of a broken society - home school.

The liberals are changing their terminology on sex in the classroom like Global Warming changed to Climate Change, they are now saying no sex education for young kids, but teachers should readily discuss Gender Identity with these very young kids. It’s a loop hole for them to get around Florida law.

FTA: "The first rule of dealing with bullies is to “avoid the fight at all costs.” " Wow, am I ever glad my dad taught me the opposite. You will be the victim for as long as you play the part of the victim. Find the loudest of the bunch, draw blood and then it's over. Punch him right in the snout and the others will back away. One of my proudest days was when we got a call from our daughter's 5th grade teacher. Twins, a boy and a girl had been tormenting the class all year long. On that day my little bundle of joy hauled them both out into the hall and thrashed the two of them. It ended right there. She did what the teacher wished she was allowed to do. Teacher told us she knew it would not stop until a student stopped it and she knew it would be our daughter.

Funny how we didn’t have these problems when I was in school. Any kid who caused any kind of trouble in the classroom or on the playground was promptly sent to the principal’s office where a wooden paddle awaited him. And I say “him” because I don’t ever remember a girl being the perp. We “girls raised in the South” were taught manners and good behavior before we were school age. The boys were too, but boys will be boys.

The first rule of dealing with bullies is to “avoid the fight at all costs.” Really? I have to disagree. Throughout third and fourth grade I had to contend with a bully. I could have handled him anytime, but 'we are supposed not to get into fights'. Finally, one day the creep pulled a switchblade comb on me. He got suspended for three days and wasn't allowed to return to the school after the year was over. One punch to the face would have ended it. Bullies don't go after you because you are weak and small (I was neither), they go after you because YOU WON'T DEFEND YOURSELF. After that, any bullying ended with me cutting my knuckles on their teeth. Once that happened the bully left me alone. Never got in trouble. The teachers knew I was being bullied. It would be different today. If you stand up to a bully both get suspended. Also, now bullies come in groups and some of them are armed. Bullying has become much more dangerous.

We had one bathroom where all the haters hung out! Full of smoke and testosterone! Use to go in occasionally! Great fun to swap one liners with them! They knew better than to bully me! I was tall and skinny but also really intense! I liked most of them and was friends with the toughest guy in school! A Mexican!

The Loudon county 'gender fluid' (BS) boy should have had an after hours training session in behavior. I am firmly convinced that with proper training, any of these miscreants actually can learn. But it takes some firm training methods. Sometimes bones are broken, but the can learn not to do this sort of thing again.

My son in grade school when he saw a little guy being beaten by a bigger guy he got right into it and knocked out the lout. In junior high, some idiot put LSD in his pop. When he came to, he knocked the snot out of him. One boy robbed his grandmas house which was close to the school. Every time he ran into this punk at school he slugged him. That is how it is done.

23 People on Terrorist Database Stopped

What was once known as the Southern border of the United States is essentially nonexistent in this second year of Old Joe Biden’s misrule, and so it was no surprise Monday when it came to light that in 2021, the Border Patrol had caught at least 23 people at the border who are on the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB). Terrorists can see what’s happening at the border as much as anyone else can; why shouldn’t they take advantage of the mess Old Joe has made? And those 23, of course, were just the ones who got caught.

Following the arrest of a prolific criminal home invader, a Florida sheriff is encouraging residents to take gun safety courses and be prepared to stand their ground in the event of a break-in occurring at their own homes. In a press conference on Wednesday, Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson told homeowners they are “more than welcome to shoot” at burglars as he announced the arrest of Brandon Harris, who Johnson described as being one of the “frequent flyers” breaking into local homes. You aren’t just more than welcome to stand your ground, it’s actually preferred if you do, Johnson stated.

A woman who accidentally dropped her cellphone into the hole of an outhouse in a national forest and fell in while trying to retrieve it had to be rescued by firefighters in Washington state. Brinnon Fire Department Chief Tim Manly said the woman, who was at the top of Mount Walker in the Olympic National Forest northwest of Seattle, had been using her phone when it fell into the toilet on Tuesday, The Kitsap Sun reported.

After a Federal Judge found that the CDC overstepped its authority by mandating masks, the left stepped in to declare, among other things, that the judge was too young.

I haven’t previously written Taylor Lorenz’s doxxing of Libs of TikTok, the popular Twitter account that simply reposts videos from wild-eyed leftists talking about grooming children and the like. That’s not for any particular reason except that other RedState writers covered it thoroughly, but her appearance on CNN on Sunday morning offers the perfect chance to share my thoughts. While speaking with Brian Stelter, Lorenz managed to make her actions even worse, pointedly lying about what she did, and then suggesting Libs of TikTok (I’m not going to use her real name) could have been a foreign agent.

Teflon Don: Is a Trump Return to the White

If we were to conduct a snap poll on social media and ask: If Donald Trump runs for president in 2024 (it’s inconceivable at this point that he won’t), will he win back the White House? Responses would range from “Hell yes” to “Hell no” — with a myriad of other responses and plenty of heated debate in between. While favorability ratings, head-to-head projections, and various other projection tools are of course based on currently available sentiment and data, and numbers can change in a political heartbeat as situations or future developments warrant, Trump bests Biden in virtually every poll and survey. It’s hard to see that changing.

Of all the reasons for leftists to be fake mad at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, this has got to be the absolute dumbest. After the governor held an event in which he signed both the Stop WOKE Act and a bill stripping Disney of its special status into law, high-profile black progressive tap-dancers began their typical tap-dance routine and hurled false accusations of racism. In this episode, they took issue with the fact that DeSantis had the temerity to have black people on the stage during the event. The fact that there were black children seemed to be of particular concern for some reason.

With the cost of energy skyrocketing and record-breaking inflation, the Biden administration came out last month and warned the public about “food shortages” hitting the US. Naturally, like with the ‘Putin price hike’, fingers were pointed at the war in Ukraine for causing the shortages. Biden himself was even trotted out by his handlers, warning that the shortages in the US would be nothing short of “real.” Well, something odd and concerning has been happening ever since the Biden Administration made their ominous prediction. Over the past month, there has been a mysterious wave of destruction hitting the US food processing infrastructure

The separation of children at the border has been going on for years. Heck, it happened throughout Obama’s presidency, and no one cared. The 2008 law dictating the separation of adults and children at the border was designed to prevent sex trafficking of minors, but that was suddenly a bad thing once Trump took office. And guess what? It also stopped being a bad thing once Joe Biden took office. According to a report from the New York Times, Ukrainian children are being “separated from relatives, friends or older siblings with whom they have traveled to the southern border.” Yet there’s no outrage from Democrats about how evil the Biden administration is.
