This is the first time I have heard John Gatto’s voice. This video is **excellent**.
Once again - opinion being pawned off as “news” and not even a description of the purported video.
I don’t do you tube videos as they eat up far too much of my limited bandwidth - and I most especially do not look at them without any clue of the content ahead of time.
Government schooling can not be defended. It is a socialist, single-payer, compulsory-use, compulsory-funded, and godless socialist entitlement backed by the threat of armed police and court threat. It never has been,( nor is it now), religiously, culturally, or politically neutral. These tax-funded government prison-like and godless schools are a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination.
Treating children, whose only crime was to be born, like state prisoners can not be defended, It can not be reformed. I consider it to be evil for the child and a threat to the future of our nation.
So....Government school defenders, please feel free to comment on this thread. Please feel free to use my name freely, and to comment on my posts, but please do not ping me or send private mail. I'd rather not have that clutter up my ping and private mail lists.
If you choose to ping me or send private mail, you will receive a polite request from me not to do so.
I have made a decision. To engage those defending an abomination is to give the abomination a veneer of legitimacy.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
