No, he's just going to rile up others to violence, much like all of the other GOP traitors (Gohmert, Gossar, Jordan etc.). But Cawthorn is dumb enough to blurt out that he's conspiring to perpetrate more violence.

Come and take it.

Rep. Cawthorn: If China Attacks With Microaggressions, US Students Stand a Chance
written in crayon by Madison Cawthorn

The battleground for America’s future is found in our schools. The shortest distance from freedom to tyranny runs through the classroom, and whether they know it or not, our children are on the frontlines.

Progressives do not view the classroom as a learning environment, but rather as an incubator for radical postmodernist and Marxist ideology. They have fundamentally hijacked our classrooms with their polluted worldview, and instituted radical, dangerous concepts cloaked under the guise of social justice, tolerance, and equality.

Today, instead of being taught to stand for the anthem, to pledge to the flag, defend America, and prepare for their own future in it, students are being taught that America must be fundamentally dismantled and rebuilt. The Left knows that if you want to fundamentally change America, you must fundamentally change the curriculum. Tell the children America was not founded in freedom; it was founded in slavery. Tell them they shouldn't love America; tell them they should be embarrassed of her.

This is not learning, this is brainwashing.

Our schools should be institutions of growth, development, and inspiration for the next generation of Americans. We should be nurturing the future of our country with practical education opportunities, preparing them to lead our nation far into the 21st century with pride and patriotism. But if we were to assess our school system today, it would receive a failing grade. Social justice has replaced core competencies; indoctrination has replaced education.

It's time to reclaim our classrooms. It’s time to repair our laboratories of learning. The war on our kids ends now, and reform starts at the local and state level. Here’s how we restore our education system.

School reform starts with school choice. Your zip code should not dictate your future. Learning and innovation thrive under competitive options. Let’s give power back to the parents to make decisions for their own children. (So let's divorce school funding from property taxes, and put into place a more equitable system without the need for poor school districts and rich ones.)

In those schools, let’s institute common-sense, real-world education opportunities like personal finance classes, apprenticeships, civic engagement classes, STEM courses, and virtue classes. Without these key concepts firmly rooted in students, the next generation will graduate woefully unprepared to function in a modern society or defend the American dream. If China attacks the United States with microaggressions and binary pronouns, students in today’s radicalized classrooms can fight back. But I believe if American adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party had lobbyists, they wouldn't change a single thing about American classrooms today. Our adversaries don’t care if Americans can navigate the social justice minefield. We need a new generation of capable, smart, dedicated Americans ready to defend us in the competitive global arena. (We can do both, Madison.)

Lastly, end the progressive assault on our classrooms. Replace radical, Marxist-based lies with applicable real-life skills. Reinstitute critical thinking in place of critical race theory, teach 1776 instead of the 1619 Project, explore personal finance instead of reparations, replace BLM with STEM. End indoctrination and restore learning.

America’s classrooms have begun replacing foundational American ideas of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness with stories of oppression, injustice, and failures. Our students should be planning, dreaming, training, and growing up in an environment that reminds them the American dream is for everyone. The kaleidoscope of learning and brainwashing ends today.

If we do not change course now, instead of America being my children and my grandchildren's home, it will just be another bolded term on the pages of their history book. I refuse to let that happen.

Then why so antagonistic against them getting their science degrees, why so angry against science?

Since then, Cawthorn’s constant partisan tweeting and media hits have only elevated his profile and allowed him to cultivate a national network of small-dollar donors. It’s paid off spectacularly: in the first six months of 2021, he raised $1.8 million, more than all but a handful of lawmakers.

Bringing a knife to an "educational property" is a Class 1 misdemeanor, according to North Carolina General Statute 14-269.2.

MT20110: Borka Blades SBD Double Edge Fixed Blade, Stonewash
Microtech
The SBD fixed blade is a menacing piece from custom knifemaker Sebastijan Berenji, AKA Borka, based off his SBK design. It's an evolution of the SBK, which had an upswept Persian blade shape, replacing it with a wide double edge dagger shape, hence the D in the name. It features four gorgeous bevels that culminate in a perfect tip, a nice finger guard, and a blood groove with lightening holes. The handle is made of beautifully milled G10 for a nice ergonomic grip, creating the perfect harmony between user and instrument. It's contoured in just the right places to allow you to index the knife in multiple grips. The compact SBD emanates tactical prowess with the styling that is a staple of Borka Blades and comes in a friction fit carbon fiber finish Kydex sheath with Tek-Lok. Made in the USA by Microtech Knives.

The proper blade making term is a fuller, and it's used to make a blade wider & lighter without sacrificing strength. [/pedant]
