Couple this with the readings of "Animal Farm" in high school and it's no wonder it was canceled!

"All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others."

"All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others." ( redlenses)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Education of the young is NEVER neutral. It is axiomatic!

So.....When government runs government schools, the government WILL establish the political, cultural, and religious worldview of some, while at the same time actively and deliberately undermine the worldview of others. THAT HAS POLITICAL, CULTURAL, AND RELIGIOUS CONSEQUENCES for all the children in the schools.

Down on Animal Farm High the worldview of some WILL live in the Farmer's House, while that of others will sleep in the barn.

This incident of Christianity is merely one of HUNDREDS of curriculum and policy issues that are the source of community cat fights every day.

Then, please consider that government schools are a price -fixed monopoly, burden parents with very, very high taxes, have poorly educated the parents themselves, and are compulsory. Then when private schools are scarce, and the parents too ignorant and too burdened with taxes to homeschool, the government offers the parents a "choice": Send your child to the government indoctrination camp or have armed police at the door. Some "choice"! ( sarc)


Not only for this incident but for hundreds of other issues. Government schools crush freedom of thought and will ALWAYS be supporting the values of some families while actively and deliberately destroying the most cherished values of others.

Government schools are NOT reformable!
Government schools are an ABOMINATION!

Solution: Begin the process of privatizing universal K-12 education.

Good point. Animal Farm is one of my favorite books and I love its social satire. Someone should write a book about the socialists' hippocracy in THIS country.
