Step by step, the heat is turned up with the push towards dehumanisation. The goal is to completely break down the support system and self-sufficiency of communities and family units so that the single being is left alone to the ravening wolves. We properly resist by maintaining our humanity, support and care for our families, neighbors and communities. By saying no, as best we can, to these infringements on individual sovereignty without giving into the base emotions of anger and fear.

School to Put Students in ‘Prison’ Jumpsuits as Punishment
July 30th, 2008

Via: Local Six:

A school in Texas will force students who don’t follow the rules to wear prison-like jumpsuits in a controversial move this coming school year.

Gonzales High School has new navy blue jumpsuits that students will wear if they break the dress code.

Violators will be forced to wear the jumpsuit for the day, the report said.

Some parents said the jumpsuits will make students feel like prisoners but the district said it’s just a way to keep the children dressed appropriately for school.

A school board official said it’s “worth a try” because it’s a way to keep the district’s conservative values intact.

Some students said the plan may backfire on the school.

“I talked to some of my friends about it and they said they are not going to obey the dress code just so they can wear the jumpsuit,” high school student Jordan Meredith.

Before the jumpsuits students who didn’t follow the code had to sit in the office and wait for their parents to bring them clothes or face in-school suspension.
