Only drastic action will save us.

Obviously, there must be good kids in this school. Why aren’t we rescuing the decent kids?
If legislators will not act, if they are dominated by the NEA, then why aren’t we acting privately to rescue the good kids?
One thing is for certain.
Churches are NOT going to step forward to rescue these kids. There are too many NEA teachers, and people directly and indirectly sucking a living from the government school industrial complex for any minister to act. Few ministers will bite the hand that puts money in the collection plate.
That would be discrimination.
Part of the huge problem in this country is that of the Christian churches being hijacked by Leftist indoctrination.
They have taken ‘help the poor’ to mean: support socialism.
They have taken ‘judge not that ye be not judged’ to be: moral relativism is God's way; there is no right and wrong, everything goes.
They have taken the concept of faith and sympathy and repentance to mean: if it is something makes you ‘feel’ it is good and right.
Too many Christians have bought into soft Leftism by a wrangling of Biblical text. Most see the public schools and teachers sympathetically, not as the enemy of religion (Christianity, that is, non-Christian religions are fine exercises of diversity) in general that is probably the majority of government-run schools.
If legislators will not act, if they are dominated by the NEA, then why aren’t we acting privately to rescue the good kids?

My wife, former teacher, pointed this out to me today: This is a case that shows the value of the Teachers Union. The administrator (principle) in this case said that the teacher used a “trigger word” (reported on the Today Show this morning) by saying she would “defend herself.” In other words the principle is not backing up the teacher. But the union is . . . when the beatdown went on youtube it was the union that ok’d the woman going on the media. The administrators in the schools are so craven that they don’t back up the teachers, the parents don’t, and who does the teacher have left to defend her (and there are good teachers, many, in the public schools) . . . she has the union and only the union.
I don’t usually write this sort of pro-union paen, especially about a politically dangerous and benighted and counterproductive group like the teachers union, but backing up the teachers in this sort of situation is where they have a legitimate role.
“Obviously, there must be good kids in this school. Why aren’t we rescuing the decent kids?”
Do you mean the ones who were cheering, the ones who recorded it, or the ones who didn’t help the teacher?
On what do you base that statement? The article mentions that this cesspit of a school was one of those created when the state broke up an even larger (and more chaotic?) cesspit of a school.
Why must there be good kids there?
