Will Grigg's Liberty Minute

March 20, 2008

The bureaucratic mind may be mankind?s single greatest impediment to justice and genuine progress. The government school system provides the bureaucratic mind with unique opportunities to maximize human misery.

Take the case of Amanda Rouse, a 15-year-old high school student from Seaside, California. When she took ill on the way to school one recent morning, Amanda didn?t get off the bus as she normally did. Instead, she stayed on the bus, with the driver promise to take her home following the morning run.

Near a grade school, the driver was suddenly thrown from her chair and knocked unconscious. Amada quickly took control of the bus, bringing it to a stop before anyone was hurt.

How was Amada rewarded for her quick thinking and heroism? School bureaucrats hit her with a weekend in detention for supposedly cutting class.

This is a perfect specimen of what passes for logic in the mind of a government bureaucrat.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
