Rarely do we see it so plainly stated.

Behind every government K-12 school principal and teacher stand armed police, courts, and threats of prison, to force the use of the socialist single-payer schooling service and to force its funding.

I've been hammered by some here on Free Republic for using the words "all" and "every". So?....If anyone knows of a government owned and run K-12 socialist school district where the above paragraph does not apply, please send a link. Hey! It is possible that I am wrong.

Every day they skip is federal $$$$$s that don’t go into the pockets of the teachers unions.

Halifax County Community Child Protection Team”

Awesome...we need one of these in every county in the world! WHY AREN’T WE PROTECTING THE CHILDREN??!

They better not TOUCH Halifax County homeschoolers. In North Carolina, we have a separate department for non-public education. The educrat gestapo has NO authority over them.

The main ...and greatest point...in this article is that schools are making parents responsible for their kid's conduct...as far as school attendence is concerned.

At least the schools are placing the blame for the kid's absence directly on the ones that are responsible...the parents. A first for sure. Too bad this wasn't done 20 years ago.

I mean, ask yourself...would you rather have the kid out doing drugs, breaking into houses, impregnating their girlfriends or watching Jerry Springer...or sitting in school?

Just abolish government schools and be done with it

The public school system should be dismantled.

But don't whip those little gnomes if they give you a hard time when you "encourage" them to attend school or you will go to jail.
