“If you choose to send your children to a public school, you must be a liberal.”
Or too poor to send them to private school or working too hard to home school.
Then it is not a choice, is it?
Parents who want to find a way. I’ve known single mothers with several children working low income jobs who homeschool. It is a question of priorities and facing up to the learned educational helplessness a government school habit creates.
It doesn’t matter even at a private school. We know that firsthand.
My kid was very good at Kadukenbo Kung Fu. He was warned not to use it at school except in case of self defense.
A boy in his 5th grade class had been expelled from the public shcool system and placed in the parochial school my kid attended. The large boy, who had been held back twice, mercilessly picked on my kid.
Finally, my kid had enough and after being assaulted, defended himself. The school principal suspended my kid for defending himself, but not the agressor boy.
We took him out of RC parochial school and home schooled him. No surprise, he has no tolerance for the self-righteous and religous.
