The progressive school system has pretty much eliminated the role of the parents in any kind of disciplinary matter. They dole out condoms without parents knowledge, they frown upon the Bible in the classroom, often the school counsellor is more interested in digging up dirt on the parent’s than in dealing with junior’s discipline matters.
So much of the school’s involvement in the student is now in loco parenti, believing that the child is the property of the state.
It is a miracle anymore than any child can go through this evil system without being mentally maimed for life.
While I do believe you are correct re the school system, I think the parents are still the best first line of defense with their own children.
My own kids - I used to sit with them every night, go over their homework and lessons, and if I found something that I felt was disagreeable or factually wrong, I told them, and explained why - and also provided another source of information that backed up what I was saying.
And even though I sent my kids to Parochial school, there was STILL enough liberal/prog bullsh*t laced in some of the work.
We bring children into the world, and we should NEVER abdicate our own responsibilities in making them into good, decent, moral, intelligent Citizens.
“Der Staat” will ALWAYS be willing and ready to step and impose whatever lunacy they deem fit; but at the end of the day, it’s Dad and Mom who decide what the kids will learn by actively and forcefully intervening when it goes against our values.
Just my .02.
