Homeschooling is the only thing that’s going to save this country.

I have watched whole communities try to take on the school board over sex ed curriculum that should NEVER have made it into the school in the first place, and the school board totally ignored everyone, even the superintendent and did what it wanted anyway.

You might as well be trying to save the Titanic.

Public schools are such an abysmal failure that they deserve to crash and burn. And homeschoolers certainly can and do vote and try to reclaim the public schools, but it’s not going to be done by sending your kids to the public schools. It’s going to be done at the voting booth and getting on the school board.

I don’t like paying school taxes either, but there’s simply nothing that can be done about that.

But no way in hell am I going to sacrifice my children on the altar of liberalism by sending them to have their minds laid waste by a public education.

Prayer outlawed in school...folks fought to fix it, sex ed...folks fought to fix it, sex ed for kindergartner...folks fought to fix it, lunches changed...folks fought to fix it. I am seeing a pattern. Homeschooling looks like it fixes all these problems.

Public schools should be done away with.

“But no way in hell am I going to sacrifice my children on the altar of liberalism by sending them to have their minds laid waste by a public education.”

This is what I did. I taught my children about our great country. They attended weekly religious services, they learned to play a musical instrument, they played competitive sports.

I taught them to think for themselves and not to be taken in by group think. I taught them what it means to be a good citizen, how to give back to their community and be respectful of their parents, teachers, peers.

They both went to very liberal public schools. On several occasions, I spent mornings in the principal’s office, with teachers and guidance counselors, having them explain to me the curriculum.as I present proof of fallacies in the text books.

Both of my kids are now attending very liberal colleges. Neither one is in a liberal arts program.

If there is one thing I learned from all of this is, if you do right in the home, your kids will do right in their lives. No liberal will ever take that away from our children as hard as they may try.
