In the 60s, it was "Pigs."

All education should be defunded and privatized.

First time I’ve ever seen an article on this subject not titled something like “Watch out SAT.”

Anyone else remember when stupidity was not a source of pride?

So?....How many so-called “good” teachers cooperated with this evil and made this possible? Where are the protests?

Crickets!

Remember! Nearly every teacher in this nation was trained by godless Marxists in Marxist run colleges and universities. They are soooooo indoctrinated that they don’t recognize evil even when it pokes them in the eye.

Solution: Close down the evil government socialist-entitlement schools. Privatize all education.

Another Reason to Homeschool.

And...Another reason to shut down this evil system of indoctrination. Where are the protests from the “good” teachers? Why are teachers cooperating at all with this evil?
