When teachers begin asking children about their parents’ political beliefs and affiliations, the problem of State interference has gone too far. And when children are encouraged to be ashamed of their parents’ beliefs, it has all too many ramifications and reminders of modern history’s political purges and darkest days.
This is not a localized issue. Indoctrination is taking place in schools all over the world. It’s happening in the UK to children of Brexiteers, it’s happening in the US to children of Christians, and it’s happening throughout the Islamic world in Madrassas, shaping young minds into weapons of hate.
The motivations of the “educators” are varied, but the one common thread is that they wish to influence the future by using children as tools, regardless the cost to the children. And this is actually even more insidious than it sounds. The teachers are taking a gamble that their own beliefs will be the dominant ideological system in the future. But they are not betting their own money, they are betting the future happiness, social acceptance, employment prospects and mental health of your children. And in the case of college professors who encourage students to violently protest, they are betting your children’s’ lives and freedom.

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
They have won this fight too. They have the children. Hitler youth.
“Schools Have Become Indoctrination Centers and are Using Children to Spy on Their Parents”
Sounds familiar...

” School provided more propaganda for Joseph and as soon as he was old enough he joined the group Hitler’s Youth. This group not only provided an outlet for more propaganda it also shaped children into becoming good citizens and soldiers. The group also taught them to spy on their parents and report any anti-Nazi criticism. “
“Putting your children into public school is child abuse.”

Oh,come on. Give it a rest.

You public school yours, right? Well, good luck with that.

All decent,hard working adults and young adults.

My daughter is just graduating from public high school. Her education -- particularly around science (global warming) and politics (social studies/American history) -- was a 13-year exercise in leftist indoctrination.
And yet, as she graduates, she is a conservative who has nothing but contempt for the left.
Why? Because I paid attention to what she was being taught, and from kindergarten through senior year, I have been there to counter the leftist propaganda with conservative arguments.
In writing science and history assignments, she was able to rely on me to provide her with conservative sources that made very strong counter-arguments to what she was being taught.
She learned how to to think critically, and to recognize leftist propaganda for what it is.
Any time she was forced to make a choice between her Daddy's perspective and the that of the commie school curriculum, I am proud to say she chose her Daddy.
And today, she has nothing but bemused contempt for the left. I am so proud of her.
I think conservative parents should not be afraid to send their kids to public school, because doing so is an opportunity to teach them how to be independent thinkers -- if you are willing to be an involved parent and teach your kids to how to respect America and recognize right from wrong.
Some of the earliest writings against public schooling addressed this very issue.
Utterly totalitarian. They used to do this in Communist countries.
Parents must teach their children from a young age as to how to deal with scoundrels.
1) Never, ever talk to a reporter about yourself or your family.
2) If someone wants you to do something nasty, that you feel uncomfortable with, leave the area and contact another adult.
3) If some teacher talks religion or politics, or asks you about them, tell your parents as soon as possible.
etc.
Have become? They've been leftwing indoctrination centers for decades.
The younger Freepers missed the Vietnam student activist days and the “teach ins”.
The “good old days” were no picnic...
Sorry but that is REALLY bad advice.
The Barna surveys revealed that 80-90% of children who enter government schools with a Christian worldview, leave at graduation with a secular humanist worldview. Do you think that it is just a random event that most young people today have a Bernie worldview?
“My children played Russian roulette with 5 bullets in the cylinder, and survived. And they made money doing it! Your children should try it too. Great for getting over anxiety!”
No, it is a form of child abuse. Only the foolish or ignorant send their children into the socialist government school environment.
Most of those who defend government schooling in this forum are up in arms about government health care. They are foolish and/or ignorant.
