Take your children out of public schools.
That's what James Dobson, founder of the conservative Christian organization Focus on the Family, told more than five million American listeners in a March 28 broadcast of his daily radio show.
"In the state of California ... I wouldn't put [a] youngster in a public school," Dobson bluntly stated. His words sparked a campaign that reveals the extent of parental discontent with public schools.
Why are they discontented? Some parents worry about the lack of religious or "moral" values; other parents point to low academic standards or bias against male students. (Dobson objected to "homosexual propaganda" that teaches, for example, that "bisexuality is normal.")
The common denominator is that parents wish to choose the values and standards by which their children are educated.
The campaign against public schools snowballed April 9 when the popular radio personality Dr. Laura Schlessinger declared, "I stand with Dr. James Dobson." Indeed, Dr. Laura did not restrict her comments to California. "Take your kids out of public schools," she advised. The same day, in his Christian talk show Point of View — broadcast over 360 American radio stations — Marlon Maddoux added his agreement.

Large seemingly intractable institutions can lose their legitimacy seemingly overnight. And....This is a major news network reporting on this. I'm impressed.
Better that than an event horizon, my friend.
So the discussion went back and forth. The whole business made me almost ill to think that any parent would alllow their daughter to be defiled, yes defiled by such behavior on the part of any male at the dance.
If that's what it's come to, what else is going on at that school? But the alternatives are difficult as two parents have to work so not everybody can home school and private schools are very expensive unless you can get a scholarship for your child.
“Large seemingly intractable institutions can lose their legitimacy seemingly overnight. And....This is a major news network reporting on this. I’m impressed. “
Yea, but you know the drill, even here. There will be public school apologists saying stuff like:
“...of course public schools suck, but not in my town...we (parents) have control, they don’t get away with any of that garbage they do in the other 99% of the country.”
One question for those parents, are they ACTUALLY in the classrooms 6.5 hours a day watching what REALLY happens? Heck, Everyday Math (the most popular math curriculum in public schools) doesn’t even have a text book, because they know it will scare the living hell out of parents if they saw what was being ‘taught’.
We start our new school tomorrow. Yanked our kids out of one of the supposedly best schools in the area. Went charter that focused on the kids and not the needs of the teachers. The bias against boys is real. Especially in a district that stretches from the hood to the well to do suburbs. Tenure and seniority get the teachers out of the combat zones and into cush-ville. The old biddies can’t handle young boys...or really any of the 5 year olds. Mix in the bitch principal that yells at everyone with a bullhorn in the parking lot and the recipe is not good. The kids will be allowed to be kids and I won’t be committing vehicular manslaughter on the principal....win win!
Good for you. Keep us posted.
The parents are putting their precious “lifestyles” ahead of their children.
I don’t feel sorry for them; I view them with contempt.
“Better that than an event horizon, my friend. “
As long as the school system is on one side and my son and I are on the other, I’m good with an event horizon.
It used to bother me that if you send your kids to private school, you are still obligated to pay for public school, thus being double charged for education. Then I realized, you are actually paying to have your children’s competition in the job market under educated. Not such a bad deal after all. The unfortunate dumbed down public school students can be your child’s employees, if they can tolerate a level of incompetance usually reserved for members of the DNC.
Not that it will make you feel any better, but these days it’s probably more often the girl leaning into and grinding on the boy. Drive past a middle school and see how the girls are dressed; we’ve raised a generation (or more) for whom the term “slut” has lost its sting.
Several ultra-libs got marginalized when the entire town got a look at a video tape showing the supposed highly educated and refined teachers assaulting people with signs spitting on people damaging cars and throwing things through the windows of the school.
It all came to a head when a few of the teachers with the aide of some united mine workers went to the Super's house and took his dog and hung it and gutted it.
Then the local populous got mad and their was some "unofficial deputations" sent to visit the Strike Ring Leader's homes.
Basically the townspeople let it be known there would be no school levies passed until all of those involved who manipulated this strike were gone from our school. And there have been no new levies passed since. Also those "unofficial deputations" let it be known that if one more animal was harmed or more damage done to School property their would be severe consequences. Amazingly it wasn't long after the strike was settled.
Now when some libtard teacher starts up again they are quietly sent a copy of the video of all the shit the teachers pulled during the strike with note attached that sez: "We will never forget!"...
So our local school has gotten better BUT its still lacking far too much but I believe this is more systemic then just our individual school.
In that school, yes, I suppose the parents are mostly to blame. Well, no, the kids who do it are mostly to blame but all who allow or condone it are culpable.

Everything a California student needs to know they learn in kindergarten. Like learning how to put a condom on a banana and learning that little boys buggering each other is normal.
The article I read it was boys, but I googled and you are correct, girls do it, too. I mean initiate it. And they tend to dress like a word I hate to use but does apply. Sluts. Maybe it’s almost a matter for pride to be slutty.
Whether they are or aren't isn't the issue. They should if at all possible, particularly inner-city parents.
My point being that, if we don't have a tipping point, we will have the event horizon.
we’ve raised a generation (or more) for whom the term “slut” has lost its sting.
We’ve raised a generation or more that has no shame whatsoever. There is no stigma in being a slut, a bum or any other ner-do-well type. It boggles the mind
That is just too much.
At my prom the wildest thing we did was “The Time Warp” from “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”.
