WASHINGTON, D.C. – Valentine’s Day may be a time of love and chocolate for most people, but to the National Education Association, it’s also an opportune time for students to learn about mob murders with guns.

The NEA is offering “Ten Free Things for Valentine’s Day” on its website – a list of classroom resources teachers can use to make the special day come alive for kids.

For young students, the union’s suggested activities range from Valentine’s Day worksheets and coloring pages to “The Story of St. Valentine.”

For high schoolers, the union suggests “twelve short videos on the history of Valentine’s Day; chocolate; the science of attraction, kissing and love; and, more.”

The “bonus” suggestion? A nearly 18-minute video featuring ballistic tests on a shot gun that may have been used in the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre in Chicago.

Here’s a screen grab of the site, as it will likely disappear once word gets out that the union is promoting savagery in the nation’s schools:

 

The 1929 mob murders known as “the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre” were the culmination of a conflict between the rival gangs of Al Capone and Bugs Moran.

Most high schoolers would certainly find the story of the massacre to be wildly interesting, but considering that the slayings had nothing to do with the actual holiday, the relevance of it all is nonexistent.

Apart from being strangely out of place amongst the kissing and candy, why is the union suggesting teachers show a video of guns being fired?

Aren’t schools now teaching students to fear guns?

Nonetheless, the NEA suggest students watch the video, which is a portion of an episode of the PBS show “History Detectives.”

Here’s a description of the program from the show’s website, which the NEA recommends to teachers:

“History Detectives stares down the barrel of a shotgun for clues that one of Al Capone’s men fired it in a Chicago gang massacre that shocked the nation.

“The gun came to our contributor’s family after it was handed down through two generations of prominent Chicago families.  It’s a Western Field single-barreled repeating action 12-gauge shotgun. The barrel and the stock were once shortened just the way the Capone gang liked its guns:  easy to conceal and with more destructive force.

“History Detectives tests the gun’s firepower, consults with ballistics experts, and combs through physical evidence to see if the gun can be placed at the scene of the crime”.

We’ve seen students suspended or expelled for having things supposedly shaped like guns from Pop Tarts, paper and fingers. One student was even punished for telling friends about her Hello Kitty bubble-making gun – which she kept at home.

But it’s okay to watch videos of guns being fired?

Oh wait, it’s the NEA. They can do whatever they want in our schools because they’re the “experts” and they “care” more about education than the rest of us.
