Related thread I started a few weeks ago: Our public schools are emailing us incessantly about racism. A few Freepers criticized me for having children in public schools. I have emailed the school principal and superintendent complaining about the antiracist propaganda. Some conservatives will homeschool or send their children to private schools (some of which are as politicized as public schools), but other conservatives need push back against public school excesses.

Train your children to spot their teachers’ B.S.. It’s a lot more effective to prepare your children, arm them with the truth, than it is to try to change their minds once they become Leftist zombies.

The culture war, if that’s what it’s called, has been in the schools for at least the last two generations. That’s why even so many grand parents fall for the lies of the media.

It’s been in all public and most private schools for at least a generation, 2 in the dim states.

But hey, it’s better to have ‘free daycare’.

And at least you kids won’t be ‘homeschooled weirdos’.

Much better to have commie anarchists who burn the country down than ‘homeschooled weirdos’.

The culture war has been “on” in our schools for decades. For the most part, only the left has been doing the fighting.
I taught and coached in public HS for 30 years and I used the A-V materials and textbooks as points of reference to pause and show the kids how demonstrably slanted and outright false the published materials were. That was my role. But I was swimming upstream.

Silly me. And here I thought school was all about teaching kids reading, writing and arithmetic.

Now they’ll be even more ignorant of basic skills but well-versed in communist bumper sticker slogans.

Could be? It’s been there for over 30 years. Remember the SEICUS (pronounced “sick us”) guidelines promoting masturbation by third graders? That was in the 1990s during the Clinton era. The Left has chapioned outright evil in public schools for a long time. First, they kicked God out then they let Satan in through the front door.

I predict citizens will get nowhere with their “pushing back”. Schools have been in leftist indoctrination mode for a generation and they aren’t changing.

You would be insane to send your kid to school in this climate.

I went through the “Chicago Public School System”. It’s one of the many reasons why I homeschool mine.
