Obama’s education secretary: Let’s boycott school until gun laws change

by Casey | May 20, 2018 | Blog, Idiocracy

In an interview, Duncan said a provocative approach is needed if gun laws are ever going to change.

Former Education Secretary Arne Duncan pushed a radical idea on Twitter: Parents should pull their children out of school until elected officials pass stricter gun control laws.

This is brilliant, and tragically necessary.
What if no children went to school until gun laws changed to keep them safe?
My family is all in if we can do this at scale.
Parents, will you please join us? https://t.co/Yo4wsFuJI5

Not only is it not ‘brilliant’ it’s illegal to do this as he suggested. Let’s not forget liberal Democrats have fought against homeschooling and school choice for decades. As a result, the laws in many states wouldn’t legally allow for a mass school withdrawal like he’s calling for. Ironically, because of the same liberals advocating for this radical new idea.

How about parents boycott until appropriate school safety measures are implemented instead of just ignoring the threat assessments done on their facilities like what happened at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School?

Then there’s the fact that the weapons used in the Texas shooting are always ignored in any liberal anti-gun proposal because they aren’t the dreaded AR-15. If fact, anti-gun advocates always say they want to leave shotguns and revolvers alone. Nevermind that shotguns were used in more homicides than all rifles combined annually until 2016.

This is just another dumb attention seeking idea from intellectually deficient radicals.
