"There is no parent who wants to get a phone call where they hear that their child no longer has two good seeing eyes because there was a scuffle and someone pulled out a knife," said George Evans, the president of the Christina district’s school board."

Of course he has no actual incidents like this to reference.

We will never regain the country until we eliminate the labor unions from the school system, wrest control from pussified, leftist, one-world "Educators" and return our schools to control of dedicated, well balanced, teachers whose only agenda is to teach children instead of indoctrinating them with leftist dogma.

There used to be fights, dare I say “back in the 50’s”, where two boys would fight, wrestle, and tussel about,

and NO ONE DREAMED OF “PULLING A KNIFE”.

Because it was WRONG. The perp would be perpetually isolated from EVERYONE else for pulling such and egregious breach of decency.

But, we can’t have “shame” these days, you know, too “damaging to the psyche” etc, and of course, standards of right and wrong are just too “ethnocentric” and judgemental.

And if there was a kid who would knife another kid in the eye, I bet they are carrying a knife every day, but concealed so they don’t get caught.

It’s not going to be the spork brought in by the cub scout.

When I was in 6th grade, a couple of the black girls they had bussed into our school for integration got into a fight, and one of them stabbed the other in the shoulder with a metal fork.

Things happen. You can’t really stop them. Remember that when the black kids beat up the white kid on the school bus, they didn’t have weapons, and they still nearly killed the kid.

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

Government schools were **never** in the control of well balanced people. The leadership driving and promoting government education has **always** been leftist!

The first activists and education leaders in the mid-1800s pushing the idea of government schools were radical socialists! The goal then of the leading education intellectuals (those with the real power), was and always has been, to turn Americans into compliant workers for the fascist state. They have succeeded in and are continuing to succeed admirably in that goal!

The only way to do that is to get government **completely** out of education on every level!

It is impossible to have a religiously, culturally, and politically neutral education. Even if school districts were the size of a few city blocks or a suburban subdivision the voting mob would be indoctrinating other people's children with their anointed worldview and using the government to force their neighbor to pay for it.

Also...ALL government schools teach socialism! ALL of them. Just by attending the child learns ( every day) that the government can use the threat of force to take from their neighbor to pay for something their parents want for free. It is my belief that we have the IRS, social security, FDR's New Deal, Johnson's Great Society, etc. precisely because one to three generations of Americans, simply by attending government school every day, had learned to be comfortable taking money from their neighbor.

It amazes me how limited conservatives are when viewing government schools. They consistently fail to see that government schools ARE SOCIALISM! SOCiALSIM CAN NOT BE FIXED!

Yes, I am shouting. I am exasperated with my fellow conservatives that somehow believe that government schools can be reformed if only the unions were eliminated or they were somehow more local. Again! Government schools are socialism. Socialism can not be fixed!

Government schools are **not** broken. They are working **exactly** as planned! If we want reform we must get rid of them and move to a completely private system of universal K-12 education.
