Government schooling is fundamentally evil.

I find this not to be the case. This is YOUR government. Take some responsibility for the mess YOU created through apathy and non-participation.

Sorry, if my post generates guilt in some Freepers...But ..what I posted is fundamental to **all** Government K-12 schooling.

All government K-12 schooling across this nation is godless in its worldview ( by law). The children in these classrooms must think and reason godlessly just to cooperate. How could it be otherwise?

All government K-12 schooling is compulsory unless a parent can pay the ransom to privately school their children or home school. The children in these government compelled schools eventually figure this out and are at risk of learning to be comfortable with government compulsion.

All government K-12 schooling suppresses free speech, free press, free assembly, and free exercise of religion. Both private and government schools must do this to maintain order. Unfortunately, when government does this the children risk learning to be comfortable with the government trashing their First Amendment Rights ( human rights).

This can NOT be fixed because it is fundamental to the very system of compulsory-cartel and monopoly-socialist-entitlement schooling.

I am apathetic? Really?

I did something significant. I homeschooled three children for their entire K-12 education. That adds up to depriving the local government gulags of approximately $5,000/ year/ child for 12 years. And....My efforts were certainly significant for these individual children.

That adds up to $180,000. That is what the local schools would have received in tax funding had my kids had been warming the seats.I call that significant.

GingisK, there are whole counties and even whole states where the government K-12 system could immediately implode and utterly collapse All that is needed is for Christians and conservatives to immediately remove their kids from this **evil** system.

Finally,....Entrenched and intractable institutions can lose their legitimacy seemingly overnight. Some examples are the Protestant Reformation, the American Revolution, slavery, and Jim Crow. Compulsory, socialist-entitlement, godless, and government cartel K-12 schooling is not immune.
