This is going to open up a real can of worms, and snakes!! I do not blame the man for wanting a really decent education for his children, nor should anyone stand in their way trying to achieve this. That being said, the problems foisted on public education by governments tying to be "nannies" is staggering. In the black community we have rampant drug cultures, out-of-wedlock births,high unemployment, crappy schools, no parental involement, high crime rates, and a welfare state that has fostered most of this. We have the same thing in the white community too, just not the same percentages. Until we grab hold of the problems involved, and find mutually acceptable solutions and standards, we will continue to bastardize our educational system and continue to fail our people.
That's the ugly secret about liberalism. They refuse, absolutely REFUSE to be responsible people. The elites get off on playing god and the peons get relieved of ALL responsibility and blame. And the cycle goes on and on.
People need to accept individual responsibility for education, health, etc. Government collectivism creates dependency, lack of accountability, and irresponsible behavior. Private enterprise generates solutions, not excuses, reckless spending and economy-killing taxes. Education spending by government should be eliminated. The people who founded the United States, who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, were mostly self-educated, or attended small private schools.
Before I get behind this guy, I'd like to get more information. Who's backing him in this lawsuit? Maybe I'm just cynical, but I'll bet my next paycheck that it's the very same people who have made sure his son will fail in the public education system; the teacher's unions, the race hustlers, the "we must protect their self esteem above all else" crowd and the professional educrats. And if that's the case, that means this suit is just a scam, it's nothing more than another way to shake the government down for more money and to blame Jeb and George Bush for the problems in the schools.
Until we grab hold of the problems involved,
Good suggestion. I'm glad my dad took the time to be a father. Even though, we went to fairly tough schools, all eight of us (children) have prospered because my father and mother realized that they already had the choice on how their children would be educated.
