Pencil Panic: Teaching our Kids They're Number 2


After finally winning the battle to keep JCPS from muzzling our kids with their fabric suffocators, protecting our children from reading books that may cause them to feel like they're not alone in the world, and keeping them from the dangers of a diversity, I think it's time that we focus on something that woke educators have been pushing on kids for decades.  

Since I was a boy we've pushed standardized testing.  Booklets of questions from the government, all to be answered on a little sheet of bubbles.    

And is it any wonder that we as a nation, state, and city are failing in these tests?   We subliminally impress upon them they're not winners from the time we announce these assessments of success or failure.  

How, you ask?  

Think about what every child is told he or she must bring on test day to complete his answer sheet.  

A pencil.   And not just ANY pencil, but a Number 2 pencil.   

Why a Number 2?  Because clearly our public school unions are dedicated to the pursuit of telling our children it's not okay to be number 1.   

We love to hand out trophies to runners up and give them stuff just for participating.   And when they take a test, we tell them "hey, don't try too hard.  Number 2 is good enough.  It says so right on your pencil."  And as if that's not enough, the pencils we sell are yellow, the universal color of cowardice.  

The sad thing is even our media encourages this.  Just look at this story about shopping for school supplies.  The liberal rag Courier Journal talks about multiple types of, you guessed it, Number 2 pencils they bought.  

Yeah, some hippie friends of Nancy Pelosi will give you bellyaching stories about how Number 1 lead is too hard, and the lines it leaves aren't dark enough unless you put a lot of effort into it.  That's just the kind of socialist propaganda that got us into the inflationary mess we're in.  Nobody wants to work anymore.  Thanks, Brandon.   

So I ask you to find yourself a number one pencil, if you can in this Democrat run city, and join me at the next school board in protest of also-ran pencils.
