From Mass GOAL legislative hotline
A Quincy member recently sent GOAL a copy of material being issued in
his local school system. The homework assignment on the Brady Law,
issued around June 18 to a 9th-grade class, featured an editorial
cartoon showing the "NRA gun lobby" shooting a target labeled "Brady
Bill" with the caption, "Have you hugged your gun today?"
Similarly, a Milford member sent us material provided by a Rhode Island
teacher: a notice from the American Federation of Teachers stating their
positions on gun restrictions, and a message to contact congressmen at a
set of telephone numbers provided. Reportedly, area teachers were being
encouraged to hand this material out to parents.
At a shoot in southeastern Massachusetts, we were told of children
coming home from school and chastising their parents for owning guns.
Another member's sister was told by a psychologist interviewing her
child that she should not allow him to be around his uncle, because his
uncle owned guns -- this without the psychologist even knowing the
uncle.
Who is raising our kids? Should government-run schools be supplying
political propaganda to students and parents?
