Those who force children into concentration-campuses-for-mind-destruction
are obviously not playing with a full-deck. Same goes for those who merely
threaten parents to submit the child or "face the consequences." Same goes
for those who merely *scribbled* pretended "laws" making involuntary servitude
"legal" (so-called) and said that I have to participate in the game whether I like
it or not (Ha Ha Ha, very funny. Yea, OK, right, what ever you say Master).
Coercion is a sign of weakness. Those who believe the *words* of tyrants are
just creating problems for themselves and loved ones.
