1) Are government teachers advocating that government take infants from their mothers in the delivery room and raise them in 24/7 Infant Schools? Hey! Their parents might abuse them. /s
2) You don't know the stats either because who gets to define abuse?
—It is abusive to FORCE children to think and reason godlessly against their will and that of their parents and **every** godless government school in this nation does exactly that, to every child. Children must think and reason godlessly simply to cooperate with the classroom indoctrination, school assignements, and school policies.
— Are you counting only the abuse perpetrated by teachers? Why not the abuse suffered by children from other children? When children are treated like prisoners why are we surprised to see prison gang abusive pathology in the schools?
—Then there are the schools in this nation that sooooooo horrific, in the school and getting to and from the school, that it would be better for the child to NEVER attend. Illiteracy and innumeracy would be better than for these children to suffer the abuses they face every day. ( Do a Google on the Chinese students in the South Philly neighborhood of Philadelpia, for only **one** example.)
— Then there are the First Amendment Rights ( human rights abuses) that **all** children are subjected to in their godless and socialist-funded government school. Once in the school they are marched around like prisoners to the sounds of bells. The only crime these children have committed is the crime of being born! The government and their government masters ( oops! “teachers”) crush their right to free speech, press, free assembly, free expression of religion, and force upon them the government religion of atheistic secular humanism. ( Great people those teachers!)
— There is the abuse that comes to subjecting children to reading and math programs that have been proven failures and leave children permanently dyslexic, illiterate, innumerate, and emotionally crippled. What about **that ** abuse?
Abuse! Are you kidding?
When Clinton was elected I read in the Sacramento Bee an editorial by his newly proposed Sec. of Education, that children should be in public schools from, IIRC, 6 months of age until 18, twelve hours a day, all year. I think the plan was one and a half days off a week, but I’m not sure, this was many years ago. So that of course the kids could be properly indoctrinated and not be have the malign influence of the eeeevil parents.
Just like in Soviet Russia and under Hitler. The State owns the children. It is entirely evil and vile and interesting how those two words are anagrams.
