Huh? More subordination of individual rights (elementary school version) in the interests of “safety”, when they can’t even define how this helps “safety”…
Via Daily Mail:
Dana Carter is neither king nor pope, but until this week, the principal of a California elementary school had a policy in place requiring his students to kneel before him.
School district officials in San Bernardino County announced Tuesday that kids at Calimesa Elementary School will no longer have to ‘take a knee’ at various times during the day and wait for Principal Carter or other school officials to dismiss them.
Carter, who was appointed to head the school only three months ago according to his LinkedIn profile, apparently instituted the kneeling policy as a safety measure.
According to a flyer that had been circulated among parents, the former gym teacher-turned-school administrator aimed to enforce safety in ‘a positive way’ by requiring children to drop down on one knee before classes and after recess.
