 When I was a newer parent, my son was probably about a year, year and a half. My wife and I were at this party for one of his childhood friends and it was their birthday party. It was like a two-year-old's birthday party. And my son is standing there right in front of me and he's on this little light kid's chair. That's probably about this tall-ish, something like that. And he's standing on the kid's chair. My wife and I are standing there hanging out at this party. And this lady from across the party sees my kid standing on this chair, comes across the yard, probably like, you know, it's probably covered a distance of like 15, 25 yards to grab my son and set him on the ground because she was super worried that he could fall or something. And my wife and I, of course, just kind of stood there and were like, what's the problem? I tell that story because I find it super ironic that in the age of safety, people are failing in droves to protect their children. Hey everyone, Dylan Schumacher, Citadel Defense. We live in this extreme culture of safety, protecting your kids and you've got to keep them safe. A lot of people confuse their primary job, what should be preparing your children with protecting your children. I find that super ironic because I would not consider myself one of those people that thinks my primary job in life is to protect my kids. And if I'm not doing that, then I'm failing. And that's what we need to do. We need to be proactive from everything all the time. I think that a lot of people like think that, right? You especially see that in like new parents where they bubble wrap the whole house and, you know, put the electrical things in and, you know, they're all worried. But that's not your primary job as a parent. Your primary job as a parent is to prepare your children for the world. And I don't think very many people really consciously think through that as a parent. So against that backdrop, like I said, I find it super ironic that people are failing in droves to protect their kids. I'm going to put this tweet up on the screen here. This is just an example. So I'll probably block out the name because it's just one of many and I'm not picking on this person specifically. But I am sick and tired of people complaining about how their kids are being treated in school. They're saying, oh, my, my 10 year old, you know, has to go to school and wear a mask and at lunch he's can't talk to anyone. He's in solitary confinement and he's not allowed to talk to anyone in the halls anymore. This whole deal. And I'm thinking, why are you still sending your child there? You are an adult. If you're not going to stand up and protect your kids, who's going to? So all these cowardly or ignorant or selfish, I don't, I don't know parents out there who are just continuing to send their children to these indoctrination camps so they can be quasi-tortured on a daily basis. And I say quasi-tortured because I mean, we're putting kids in quasi solitary confinement, you know, where they're not allowed to talk to anybody to pay them what school where. I know this is different all across the country, different schools. But some of these kids aren't allowed to talk to other kids. They're supposed to sit at lunch and put their folders up so they can't see other kids. They're being forced to wear masks all day long, which has a whole host of developmental issues that we're not going to cover right now. And so you as a parent are continuing to send your child to that. But then you'll turn around and tweet about how it's so unfair. Stop sending your kids there. It's that simple. We need to completely bankrupt the public school system. There is no reason you should be sending your children there whatsoever, not zero. Not only do they learn to doubt themselves and hate you and distrust their country. You know what you're teaching your kids by sending them to school? You think, because you think, oh, I need to send them to school. Otherwise, you know, they won't get an education. That's, I'm assuming that's what most people would think something along those lines. Well, we can't, we can't pull them out of school. They need an education. But the primary thing that you're teaching them is that mom and dad are cowards and they're afraid to stand up for their kids. That's the primary thing that you're teaching your children when you continue to send them to a place like that, where they are not treated as people, but they are treated as commodities. You're teaching them, mom and dad don't love you. We're not going to protect you. We're not going to stand up for you. We're going to continue to send you here. I'm sorry, but you know, that's just the way it is. So don't send those tweets anymore. Stop sending these tweets about how, your poor children are at school. Stop sending them to that school. Find a different school. Find a homeschool co-op, homeschooling yourself. Do something so that your children stop growing up to be a compliant generation of slaves. That's literally all you're doing. You're raising kids so they'll make excellent surfs someday in the world who don't have a notion of freedom of expression, who don't have a notion of rights, who don't have a notion of inherent self-worth and value as a human being. Rather, they've been taught that their parents don't love them and won't stand up for them. They probably won't love themselves or stand up for themselves because no one else will. And then they're getting put through a system that treats them as a commodity and not as a person. So if you're a parent out there and you're one of these people, you're like, well, I feel trapped. Dylan, what am I going to do? Stop sending your kids there. I have kids in school age. They don't go to school like that. Okay? And they never will. Stop sending your kids to those horrible places. Find some courage and apologize to your kids for your behavior. Do brave deeds and endure.
