Don't Start Nuffin, Won't Be Nuffin #AssaultAtSpringValleyHigh

by Kim D.

In 1818, Londoners began reading Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by an anonymous author who would eventually reveal herself as Mary Shelley on the second published edition. At the heart of the story is Victor Frankenstein, who is obsessed with understanding the secret of life. Armed (and warped) by a wealth of knowledge, Dr. Frankenstein fashions a creature out of body parts which he brings to life. His success horrifies him and he is further traumatized when the monster kills his brother (revenge toward his creator) and subsequently haunts the doctor's every waking moment.

A modern day translation of Frankenstein might include the monster vehemently spewing at the good doctor, "Don't start nuffin, won't be nuffin." This is the state in which we find ourselves in this country. We have created monsters with hardly any values and basically no moral accountability, and we are left to wonder why our culture has been so perverted.

The drivers of American culture knew the secret to an excellent life and regulated what they saw was a deterrent and promoted what they thought would be liberating. The Millennials and Generation Z have run with it (how could they escape it), and with the lack of solid, moral guidance in the home, they are miserable and angry. We are guilty of creating Frankenstein's monster and then look to scapegoat those who have to deal with cleaning up our mess.

Thus brings us to the latest case of #BlackLivesMatter outrage and police demonization with the assault at Spring Valley High:

A South Carolina sheriff’s deputy is under investigation after videos were posted online Monday showing him violently throwing a high school student from her desk in a classroom.

Students who were in the classmate say the girl was asked by the teacher to get off her cell phone, but refused, and then would not leave the class room when asked by an administrator, so police were called. She allegedly refused the deputy’s requests to get up from her desk, and that is when the videos begin. 

We can all sympathize with the student even though she was creating a classroom disturbance. If she had been taught to respect her teacher and classroom rules, this incident wouldn't have happened at all, but, alas, she most likely has been warped by the culture which has promoted and condoned such disruptive behavior. 

According to _the.kidd on Instagram, the student had it coming:

Excuse the spelling and grammar issues - evidently Common Core hasn't kicked in yet at this school. But, the point is rather clear - this student was given multiple chances to comply with classroom rules. When she refused, the police were called in to remove her. When she didn't willingly leave, she was forced to. She started it and the police ended it in rather an unpleasant way.
