Teach the children well
Teach the children well. Wasn’t that a song released in the late 60’s by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. It seems to me that we went through race riots and calling police pigs at that time. I had thought that those of that generation had learned valuable lessons and were changing things. So, what generation didn’t teach a younger generation these lessons? Was it our kids or another generation of kids? I would hope that the cycle of unrest doesn’t have to be repeated every 50 years or so. Maybe some youngsters just always need to rebel and protest. I hope they can teach their children well and or teach your parents well.
Now let’s think about “It’s getting better all the time” by the Beatles! Last edited by twoplanekid; 06-09-2020 at 09:36 AM. |

I see families at these marches , clergy , police officers , senior citizens perhaps they are all teachings us well . My mother marched in Birmingham, at Selma and spent the freedom summer in Mississippi, she was arrested a few time . She was in her 50’s she didn’t just teach her children well hopefully by her actions she taught many others to respect all people and that means all people of any race or religion

The problem is too many people used the murder as an excuse to loot and destroy and most getaway with it so next time the same things by the same people. |

teaching in public schools is just indoctrination and the results speak for themselves.

I used to think this was just another opinion or prejudice......but I am increasingly becoming a believer.......as one looks at the "results" that surround us currently!

I have the same feelings. The professors in our universities are overwhelming liberal and way to many expect their students to be the same in order to get good grades.

Teach Your Children Well, by Graham Nash
You, who are on the road, must have a code that you can live by and so become yourselves, because the past is just a goodbye. Teach your children well; their father's hell did slowly go by and feed them on your dreams, the one they pick(s), the ones you'll know by Don't you ever ask them why - if they told you, you would cry so just look at them and sigh, and know they love you. And you of tender years can't know the fears that your elders grew by And so please help them with your youth they seek the truth before they can die. Teach your parents well, their childrens' hell will slowly go by and feed them on your dreams, the one they picks, the one you'll know by Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you you would cry so just look at them and sigh, and know they love you. Nash was inspired to write this song as a result of a photograph of a kid with a toy hand grenade, playing in Central Park in Manhattan NY. He felt concerned that his generation and the one before his were teaching the glorification of violence and war. Basically - it's a war protest song in lullabye form. |

it seems that the peaceful marches that are truly trying to making a statement some how turn into chaos, looting, destruction and riots once they leave and the cover of darkness arrives....how's that happen???
are the peaceful people to blame for the rampart destruction of property that always seems to follow???...because they know not what they enable??? |

Protesters typically don't show up with the plan of committing violence against any one or any thing. However, if others show up and attack a protester, the protester might fight back in self-defense. The burden is still borne on the attacker's shoulders. |

Most people are beginning to recognize the need for this ... diversity of thought drives out the bad ideas and ensures a better outcome

Why does peaceful protesting include paint and destruction? Do these people ever work?
