“My three children received excellent academic educations in public school.”
I would be very surprised if it’s as good as you think. And I can almost guarantee you they are subjected to near non-stop subtle, and not so, far left, PC, multicultural, ideological indoctrination throughout the school day. Maybe that mirrors your own beliefs but if it doesn’t you need to be concerned.
I taught in a FL middle school for one year as part of a “change in career” program they had set up to lure teachers in from other careers. It was far worse than I had ever expected. Students at education departments around the country routinely score at the bottom on college level standardized tests and it shows in school break rooms. For the most part the teachers teaching your kids became teachers because it was the only college course of study they could complete. It’s no surprise they endorse all the garbage of the left, they’re not smart enough to see through it. My personal belief is sending a child to public school amounts to child abuse. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion.

I chose to teach. Not all of us. Of course, I refuse to join the teachers union, and that makes life substantially more difficult, but I do get to teach a decent curriculum at a wonderful school.
Well, it was good enough to earn them all four-year academic scholarships to a Tier 1 research university, where they have excelled in engineering.
And they’re committed conservative voters, to boot.
