If I were still teaching, I’d invite you to my classroom. There’s no “perverted stuff” or “leftist crap.” My school district is in the middle of one of the reddest counties in Texas. We hate perverted stuff and leftist crap. We pledge allegiance and have a moment of silence every day of the school year.
I thought so too. I have neices who go to Texas schools. Their homework assignments amaze me with their leftist bias. My 13 year old neice was invited to an after school program called “Big Decisions”.... it’s all about sex being their choice.
I look through history books and english books and the leftist bias is just amazing.

Don’t get too comfortable there. It won’t last. You’re just further down on the priority list.
Does the teachers union there send their money to the Democrats the way most other unions do?
My told us before Christmas break that he refused to shop at stores that said happy holidays and hoped we would as well because it should be merry Christmas.
I call the following “leftist” ( I will not follow that with your scatological crudity):
Government owned and run schools are by definition a socialist-entitlement welfare program. They are compulsory for all those whose parents can not ransom them by paying the jizya needed to attend private or homeschooling. Simply by attending children risk learning that government and the voting mob can give them tuition-free schooling. Well?...If government and the voting mob can give them tuition-free schooling, why not use that power to get **lots** of socialist goodies?
Regarding “moments of silence”:
Such moments teach children to be silent about their faith. The children risk learning that faith and prayer is something to be hidden as if it were a bathroom activity. It is so taboo that there must be silence about it. Do you remember, in the book, “Brave New World”, where the word “mother” was never to be said aloud? This is the lesson being taught with these moments of silence. This is not only **not** religiously neutral, it is, indeed, a negative lesson about faith.
The rest of the day, they are subjected to non-stop godless secular humanism. Simply to cooperate in the classroom the child must think and reason godlessly. How could it be otherwise?
Regarding government schools and compulsion:
Government schools are compulsory for all children whose parents can not ransom them. Simply by attending these children risk learning to be comfortable with government compulsion.
Regarding government schools and the First Amendment and freedom of conscience:
Government schools trash every First Amendment Right. Speech, press, assembly, and exercise of religion are all strictly controlled by government functionaries, and the government establishes the religion of godless secular humanism ( by law) in its schools. In many ways, children ( whose only crime was being born) are treated and marched around like prisoners. Even their schools look like minimum security prisons, and their play areas look like prison exercise yards. Merely by attending children risk learning to be comfortable with being prisoners of the state.
Conclusion: I too live in one of the reddest states, and one of the reddest counties in the nation. It does not matter. Whether red, blue, or purple, socialist schools teach children to be comfortable with socialism. Whether red, blue or purple, godlessly secular schools teach children to think and reason godlessly.
High Fives, here in Va it is the same way.
Is it still like that? I’m looking for a warmer place to move.
