I have always supported the public school system and plan to do so for the rest of my life.

Let the education begin.

REALLY! I read through, and he restates that after all the horror-story experiences, such as this one that shows the problemS:

In my Health class, also this year, our very first homework assignment included writing down four activities you do as a person currently and four things you want to do in the future. We were also assigned to present in front of the class.

In one of my four boxes, I wrote down that I was a conservative speaker. When I presented in front of the class, he asked if I supported the Tea Party. I said yes. He rolled his eyes and told me believing in the organization was “weird." He also told me he knew nothing about the Tea Party. This teacher then told me to explain, in front of the class why I supported the Tea Party, so I did.

When I left the class, I thought about what had happened. Why was I being called “weird?” Why was I being questioned so much?

The simple truth reveals that some teachers want to obstruct and block my personal views from looking valid. If a teacher asked why someone was homosexual, Atheist or Muslim and called what they believed “weird”, there would be serious consequences.

I decided not to report this to the principal because I realized it wouldn’t help. I had experienced the fallout from reporting prior instances and I didn't want a repeat situation.

I'd like to hear why. I wonder if this is just filler or something that needs to be said to cover one's rear when you're stuck in public schools.

I grew up in a public school. My mom taught in a public school. I have no intention on sending my kids to public schools and will be making sacrifices to put them in parochial schools. A fundamental part of understanding one's world comes through understanding scripture and through personal relationship in Christ. If our public schools are so interested in removing this element, I have every intention of removing myself and my children from them and consider them enemies of a proper education and proper values. The backward and failed methods of public education have caused enough damage to our society.
