Should add the poor man’s James bond. The anarchist cookbook. The army survival manual. There is an old army improvised munitions manual.
There are lots of fun reads that should probably be held onto.
Will already told you that wasn’t something he was interested in. Janet showed mild interest. She’d be up for it. But it wasn’t something that’s a priority for her.
So when you sent over the events and she talked to her husband about it. He could have easily expressed that he wasn’t comfortable with his wife walking around naked or having her walk around with other naked people. She doesn’t care about doing it enough that it’s worth making her husband uncomfortable.
It’s not about him telling her she can’t. It’s about each of them respecting each other enough not to do things that make each other uncomfortable. They are mature enough to have a conversation about things, express their emotions to each other, and value each other’s feelings.
Bullying is a one directional situation. It’s straight physical and mental abuse. And saying zero tolerance is right because it’s two way or the bullied kid can tell an adult is akin to saying a woman could just leave the man beating her.
It’s naive. It’s harmful. And it’s ineffective.
Your middle school principal you discussed with this is only a single administrator. I’m sure different schools have had various rationale for implementing the policy and any anecdotal response doesn’t speak to the entirety of school administrators.
Schools are in loco parentis. Essentially they act as parents while children are at school. Children at school are not afforded all the same rights as normal citizens against the government. Like searches and seizures. School officials, in loco parentis, can approve for police to search a students belongings while the student is at school. Even if the student themselves tries to invoke their right to protection for unreasonable searches.
Same with speech, as parents can “ban” words in their homes. Schools can ban and restrict speech as in loco parentis.
I thought CA got rid of Jay walking bullshit in 2023.
