Fascism is force. Fascism is indoctrination. Fascism is ostracism, punishment and intimidation of those who violate its tenets, however far-fetched the crime, however young and unwitting the perpetrators.
For several years I have watched in increasing anger and dismay at the severe indoctrination and intimidation of grade school children by progressive fascists, mainly over guns and knives. The
latest example is here, where a 7 year old was suspended for allegedly eating his pop tart into the shape of a gun.
The extremism of local school boards has reached unprecedented levels of absurdity, but it is not without purpose or design. The current generation of grammar school children will someday grow up to be the adults who vote. By then these new adults will be so terrified of guns that they will vote away the Second Amendment in a heartbeat. To create the new docile and manageable American adult, any and all discussion or depiction of guns must be ruthlessly suppressed.
One must never be allowed to think about guns, mention guns, depict guns in any way, either by toy replicas, or by drawing guns, or by pointing one's fingers to simulate a gun, or by eating pastry into a gun-like shape. Those who do will be severely punished, not for actual deeds, but for thought crimes.

It is time to counter such insanity with strong measures. If it were up to me, the Maryland community that is served by this school would picket the school, hoisting signs and placards that depict real guns in photographs and drawings. Informational pamphlets would be handed out to passers-by with pertinent facts, such as "this is a picture of a real gun. It does not shoot. It cannot harm anyone. Depictions of guns harm no one! Know the difference. End anti-gun fascism now!"
They could hand out toy guns to school kids outside of school grounds, offer free pastries baked into gun shapes, post pictures of cartoon guns on telephone poles, patrol the school perimeter armed with super-shooter squirt guns, bubble guns and toy guns with barrel flags that say "BANG!" Candy makers could make bubble gum in the shape of tiny handguns; women could wear handgun earrings and (fake) bullet necklaces, men could wear gun-shaped lapel pins. Informational pamphlets depicting real guns, and how they differ from imaginary guns, could be mailed to every member of the school board and teachers' union. Planes could be hired to drop leaflets depicting comic guns with "bang" flags over all local school grounds. T shirts with Yosemite Sam brandishing cartoon six-shooters could be worn by all protesters. (What are they gonna do, arrest Walt Disney?)
In other words, absurdity should be fought with counter-absurdity. Everywhere the grade school fascists turn, they should see the comical depiction of a gun. I say comical so they can't claim intimidation or interpret the depictions as any kind of implied threat. The goal is to rub the fascist nose in the asininity of progressive paranoia while deliberately flouting its program.
