It seems to me, from working in education, experiencing the system as a student, educator, and parent, and from my readings both on this board and otherwise, that the system of local control in this country largely means that schools reflect their communities.

If communities are liberal, so the schools will be, and vice versa.

One can also argue that the larger culture is more decadent than it was, say 50 years ago, but that is not necessarily the fault of the schools and may in fact be a major cause of the problems in schools today.

It seems to me that a major ideological failing in this country is the perception that schools are able to solve all the ills of society, when in fact they frequently merely reflect said ills.

I think I get your point but I'm not sure I can agree totally.

If schools were merely a reflection of the communities, then private schools should have the same results as public schools.

I agree that parental involvement can have a profound effect in the school system; the problem is there simply isn't enough of it.

HOWEVER,

the FEDERAL MANDATES

coupled with

the massive mind bending propaganda at the teaching of teachers Univs; news media, entertainment media . . . Wash, DC, . . .

have left K-PhD institutions as mostly mind controlling factories of robots for hell.

This shooter is merely the logical, spiritual result of such mind-bending projects birthed in hell and managed reasonably well by the NWO for many decades.
