I wouldn't want this guy within a mile of any elementary school.

4. Sounds as though McGroarty should read up a little on research in child development, with some

focus on their cognitive traits in how they are not the same as adult thinking in some very important ways, but then, perhaps McGroarty mistakes being a reactionary for thinking, so I suppose my point is moot, as McGroarty may not be capable of mature cognition himself, outside of following the rules associated with the letters after his name.

In regard to rules, it's sad and has horrendous consequences for child development that adults don't know the difference between freedom and there being no consequences for one's actions, for the latter is indeed slavery to whatever triggers the "lowest common denominator" and the former is the strength and ability to process reality and CHOOSE behaviors respective, or otherwise, as to the consequences of those actions.

It's also interesting that there is apparently no concern about "justice" in McGroarty's response to the 2nd-graders' pledge. Perhaps McGroarty assumes that justice is a given as long as there are no rules, so we should be asking ourselves who is the REAL fascist here.
