Um, what exactly does this have to do with the "public school system"? I'm as disgusted with the public schools as much as anyone, but...get real
It's the more the policy of forcing degradation and subservience on people when they're in school. Some people don't react well to that. You can only poke an animal so many times before it bites back. As long as things remain as they are, this will continue. On a related note, it's going to be private or homeschooling for my children.
