Yes and no...it entirely depends on the principal. I don’t think people realize how much power school administrators have. If the principal trusts teachers and gives them independence in the classroom then the old school, conservative teachers can get away with avoiding the worst of common core. If the principal is a lib committed to the cause, the teachers are restricted or removed. That’s why we aren’t hearing these stories from every school.

Trust me when I say the administration sets the agenda, tone and culture of a school.

A conservative principal can moderate the effects of the fundamental flaws of government schooling to some extent but the foundation upon which government schooling is built is corrupt!

Government schooling is fundamentally a government owned and run price-fixed, monopoly cartel. It is a socialist-entitlement. It is impossible for it to be religiously, culturally, or politically neutral.

Fundamentally, government schooled children risk learning that the same voting mob that gives them tuition-free schooling is also powerful enough to give them **lots** of free stuff.

Fundamentally!...A child in a godless government classroom **will** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate in the classroom, do their godless homework, and read their godless textbooks.
