Here is food for thought, especially for those who support “public education” and rally about the doctrine of “socialization” that they claim is lacking in “homeschooled” children.
Let’s look at what “public education” has to offer:
1. Cliques and rampant bullying, quite often the victims of bullying are punished more harshly for fighting back. Many times, bullies are part of a “protected” class–racial minorities, jocks, etc. There is strong official disapproval of students making friends outside their grade level. “Peer pressure”is used to push conformity.
2. Teachers that don’t teach reading writing and arithmetic. Pushing communist principles such as rabid environmentalism, blaming humanity for conditions beyond our control as well as pushing “communitarianism” (“it takes a village”)–actually communism. This also ties in with teacher-recommended feminizing and drugging (mostly boys) to make them “less fidgety” and more compliant–all for the “benefit” of the teacher.
3. Non-existent moral guidance…the communist concept of “values clarification”, allowing each student to set his own moral standard with no discussion permitted as to guidelines. A student dare not mention God or the Bible in “public school”–not permitted…discussing Islam is OK…even field trips to mosques are encouraged.
4. Sex education that normalizes homosexuality, transgenderism and other deviant practices, actually encouraging deviant behavior and downplaying and marginalizing heterosexuality and abstinence.
5. Insane zero tolerance practices, punishing students for pop-tarts shaped like guns or a student having an “unauthorized aspirin” or plastic butter knife. Of course, abortions and birth control are available without parental notification.
6. Lockdowns and backpack/locker searches by police utilizing “drug dogs”, getting the upcoming generation used to random unconstitutional searches. Quite often, students are “roughed up” by “school resource officers”…just because they can…Lockdowns should be reserved for prisons–not schools…
Since these “socialization” practices seem to be the norm in our “public education” systems, parents who send their children to these dysfunctional “indoctrination centers” are guilty of child abuse…
Children who are homeschooled actually do much better in life as they are comfortable with people of all ages. True socialization takes place outside the classroom.

Public schools were and are a deliberate choice by government to DIS-MIS and MAL Educate children.
As a 70year old grouch, I remember our textbooks telling us how the “Commies” heartlessly remove toddlers from the mother and put them in indoctrination schools and teach them how to be good Commies and to snitch on their parents while Mom and Dad work all day in the factories.
Sounds like us.
As for me an 80yo grouch, I quit school in the 7 th grade. I just wanted to work. And work I did until 2000. So now I am able to think. And to prove colledge people wrong.
Jack- Some of the most clueless people I have know had fancy edumacations and some of the most successful never made it past the 8th grade. I have known wealthy men who were just damned good at what they did and a degree meant nothing to them. One in particular was the founder of a large power equipment company that became a national brand known in every household, he only had a high school education but left behind tens of millions when he left this world.

I’ve worked in “PUBLIC” education for 15 years now and have been trying to sound the alarm for nearly as long!
Between No child left behind and anti bullying campaigns along with the far left agenda of destroying the millennial generations understanding of gender and sex….we have a whole generation who has been taught to live their lives as victims and to be offended by everything, then, with the introduction and encouragement by school districts to use social media, the youth are encouraged to tell the world that they are offended!
This HYPER SENSITIVE society is part of the social engineering program designed to lead us towards conflict at every level of society from the individual, familial to larger social institutions including religious, corporate and governmental!
The DSM of psychological disorders is littered with labels to define overly sensitive and narcissistic thinking and behaviors!
Everyone will have a social worker in the not too distant future because the Nanny State that runs the planet knows what’s best for you!!

The history (esp the current spate) of Communist Political Education Programs, failed academics and the massive creation of delinquents is ample justification to sue the public education system for treason, insurrection and multiple damages to children; sue it out of existence as if it was the KKK and replace it with School Choice Vouchers. Parents should be storming political meetings and marching on weekends for School Choice.
I’ll ask because someone hasn’t already asked you. Are the vouchers equal to the value of the dollars you paid the government, or do you wish the THEFT from the rest of society to continue unabated? And if just the money you put in, why steal it in the first place?? Government is the problem. Just get them out of the way (and out of education 100%). So long as the money passes through their hands FIRST, it will always be subject to “terms and conditions.” COUNT ON IT.

Bravo, sir. Keep putting the colledge boys in their place.
