Reagan promised to eliminate it. He didn't. Couldn't?
You will never defeat it by depending on ANY politicians. You can scream and holler and make demands till the cows come home. You are wasting your time, you money and your children's education.
the ONLY way they can be brought to their knees and become irrelevant (and bankrupt) is to ignore them and spend the time and $$$ providing alternatives: Home schooling, private schools, church schools, etc.
Your neighborhood churches are all set up for small neighborhood schools. They have class rooms, an 'assembly hall", a kitchen, bathrooms, etc. They could be church run or use contracted out to private entities.
That would also bring schooling back under the stewardship of the parents, the children wouldn't have precious hours wasted being bussed to H and gone, etc.
IOW, Back to parental control and back to BASICS.
so why is this not a national movement????
Stop nattering and start organizing - right in your small group of friends/parents at your kitchen table. They can then bring in their circles, etc and it can grow to fruition. Talk with your local pastors. There should be at least ONE in the neighborhood that would see the need to save our kids - which then saves our families, our neighborhoods, our towns - and, to paraphrase Gov William Bradford's famous quote: "as one small candle may light a thousand so the light here kindled hath shone unto many yea in some sort to our whole country."
Do it quietly at first. No fan fare, No 'publicity". The quiet revolution could grow 'under the radar' until, when the enemy gets wind of it - it's too big to stop.
Time to atop cursing the darkness - and start lighting candles.
In Pennsylvania all schooling was through parochial (parish) schools until the 1840's.
