Each of the people which I have pinged commented on the parenting of these youngsters.
While there are many contributing factors, our government's socialist-entitlement schooling has been a major contributing factor in the disintegration of the American family. There is a reason that Bill Ayers ( a terrorist and open communist) chose education for his career. And...He had lots of mentoring help to get to his position from other educators of my father's generation ( born 1913.)
Obviously, this communist destruction of our culture has been going on for a more than a century, but we are now seeing the full-blown infection.
When schools are utterly and completely godless since the 60s and we now have grandparents, parents, and even great parents who are graduates of these schools, what do we expect?
Oh...And our government's socialist-schools before the 60s haven't been that great, at best they merely nodded to God. My grandmother (born 1894) attended secular government schools that merely winked at God on occasion. And... Before her children were fed a generic and lukewarm Protestantism. ( What does Christ do with the lukewarm? He spits them out of His mouth!)
wintertime can you stick tot he topic rather than hijack it. Chessplayer told you that this godless souless school mantra is getting pretty old.
Most of you have seen this before, but I repeat it here for those who haven’t and to reinforce the concepts for those who have.
The “public school”, including the “charter school”, is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.
The “public school” is better understood as the “government school collective”.
It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is collectivist.
Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.
If you want to win the culture war, have lots of children (see my tagline) and homeschool them or form your own school cooperative with your church or synagogue and like-minded friends and relatives.
Nobody loves your children more than you do.
Nobody can teach your children like you can.
Your children would love nothing better than to be taught by you, if you start doing so before they are corrupted by the government school collective.
It is hypocritical for you to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally disagree. And your children will know it.
If you have children, make whatever sacrifices you must to get them out of the public schools.
DO NOT FEED THE BEAST!
Especially not with your own children.
And DO NOT TAKE GOVERNMENT “EDUCATION” MONEY!
He that pays the piper calls the tune, and that’s especially true for any government entitlement program.
