This Common Dreams article is one of many (see here and here, for example) that point out the hypocrisy of unmasked libertarian GOP members of Congress complaining about having to walk through metal detectors while school children routinely attend “hardened” schools with protective fences, guarded entrances, restricted entry that make it difficult for parents to enter, and legally mandated shooter drills to protect children from potential freedom loving “patriots” brandishing AK-47s that they can but on line.

The logic of limiting free speech on line while offering unlimited access to the acquisition of combat level weapons on line is head spinning, as is the logic that speaks of teaching children about the glorious freedom they possess while harboring them in secure de facto compounds protected by armed guards and cameras.

We seem to be living in a world where adults seek unrestricted freedom while children are being trained to live in a totalitarian state… and the actions we are taking to “protect” children are doing just that. It’s time for a total reset.
