I realize that hs students aren't on scholarship, but they do get school credit and a step up in getting scholarships to college...

if they refuse their assignments, then kick them out of the band...

In our local high school -- for at least the last six years -- the academic top ten students (including valedictorian and salutatorian) have always been in the band. And the vast majority of the academic top 10% in all grades are always in the band.

And, for longer than that, our band has always been at least finalists in their Division (top ten bands in the huge State of Texas ) for State Championship.

I pity you and the school you attended...

Or we can stand and fight in the public schools.

Not directed at you, Salvavida, but every time someone posts “another reason to home school”, all I hear is a coward withdrawing from the field of battle.

Sure, you will raise your kid in a conservative bubble, and the liberal agenda will permeate the school system unchecked.

Then your perfect patriot children will be roundly defeated at the ballot box, by all the marxists the school indoctrinated unopposed.

All 3 of my kids went through the public schools, and I called out the teachers, principals and boards anytime a lib tried to push their agenda. Often I prevailed, other times not. But I didn’t cede the fight to the libs.

All 3 of my kids went on to outstanding colleges, and are some of the most level-headed conservatives you’ll ever meet.
