My Kid the Drone

When did teachers begin
Turning our children into drones?
Instead of respect and values
They’re teaching griping and moans

If there is something you don’t like
Simply erase it and throw it away
Tear it up, tear it down 
And burn it all away

No more teaching history but
Teaching 'em they’ve been oppressed
Creating more hate and rage
Life’s becoming a big ole mess

Instead of racism going away
The fire has only been fueled
Creating more discourse and pain
Making us all look like the fools

And then you bring in gender
Gone is a girl or a boy
Asking 'em what sex they want to be
When all they want is their toy

And then there is core math
Which I just don’t understand
Making math much harder
It's time we make a stand

It’s all about the government
And the story they want told
Molding our kids to fit their story
And giving them all the control.

Americans today have very little regard for social resposibility; the seem to see life as me against the world rather than united we stand . . . . .
