Quick! Someone call CPS for him raising his son as a boy!!!

Don't you know, boys these days are supposed to be playing with Easy Bake Ovens and ponies.

my son does. We are worried.

One of my sons played with an Easy Bake Oven and now that he is nearly 40, he bakes cookies, cakes, pies, bread and a whole host of things I like to eat. I feel it was a worthwhile investment.

Don't get me wrong, I love baking. I make an awesome apple crumble and lebkuchen (German gingerbread), but boys should be playing with guns and hot wheels, not ponies and barbies.

Parents fault for not paying attention to the news about public schools. If a product is crappy then dont buy it.

I learned to cook in home ec and from my parents. I let my sis play with the ez bake. The food those things pump out isn't even very good.

Sounds like a "teachable moment" to me ... "Son, this just goes to show that your teachers and their administrators are full of shit. They may suspend you - hell, their kind steals the money I make to take care of you (they call it "taxes") - but don't ever let the system get you down, boy. Don't ever become one of them, and don't ever let them convince you that you are the bad guy. You aren't the bad guy. THEY are ..."

So what would be a good course of action?

Remove your child from that Degenerate Environment.
That is the only logical action.

My batman whooped the shit out of some barbies in the day. Kidnappings, decapitations, no sexual assault.

And me fresh out of rep for you.... This^^^ and then follow pcosmars advice and get them out of there while they still have their sanity.

None? You did it wrong.

 

[Confederate]

Killing horses, sexually assaulting barbies...all the warning signs were there...

covered.

You know what the problem is? Either the politically correct and other insane people go running to lawyers far, far too often or we sane people don't go running to lawyers anywhere near often enough. Perhaps we should all get lawyers on retainer, and sue for every insane suspension. You know, all that mental anguish and all those attempts to permenantly disparage the characters of our children should be worth something. People are scared of their lawyers; obviously it's past time we made them scared of our lawyers.

Fight fire with fire.

lolz As if you didn't do it.

We had BB gun fights.

Heck we played cowboys and Indians. Guess that would be politically incorrect nowadays. "Pow!, you're dead." Of course then there is the obligatory 'fall down' to show you were really dead.

I guess paint ball sort of took the place of that. I remember digging out those nasty BB's. It was best to do it in cold weather so a heavy coat would help, but that didn't help when you got hit in the legs or of all places, the butt.

Anybody here have safety razor fights?
