I hope he wins. He understands key points very well. One of the most important points he makes is the following:
“Teachers and parents worked together on the content of curriculum, student discipline, and all aspects of school life. In addition to being academic institutions, public schools became centers of sports competition, social events, and other aspects of community life.”
This is missing to a GREAT extent in our present culture. ONE of the reasons it is missing has to do with the breakdown of the family. And many political activists have been responsible for advocating policies that further damage families.
Of course, we must all share in the blame ... because, as a nation, we began to ignore God and His Wisdom. I am encouraged to see that this economic/political crisis has been a catalyst for several people to realize this...and begin to remedy it....for themselves as individuals AND their families. The family is the most crucial building block for any healthy society. Sound education springs from healthy families.

Nope, I don’t share the blame nor will I take the blame and the sooner that conservatives learn this the better.
The people fighting to get your kids are doing just that, fighting. Tooth and nail. Tons of conservative parents felt wonderfully self-righteous sending their kids to the belly of the beast to fight this. It’s failed.
Others have rationalized sending kids there while singing, not my school. Sorry, you’re wrong. All it takes is one substitute teacher to wreck your kid. While the school apologizes for letting a sub tell your precious little one what “Golden Showers” are, you are cleaning up the pieces of your child’s innocence. Or unteaching the Green movement, anti-Christianity, etc.
Get your kids OUT of public schools. Starve the beast. Those who have put kids through school, please get on the school boards or at least attend the meetings. Help us.
I’m not going to take the blame, but I’ll take the ball. Time to get serious. Public schools are broken and a generation of kids is left by the side of the road while we experiment with fixes.
Well....Sending generations of kids to socialist schools that were at first a lukewarm Protestant, then secular with a nod to God, and now utterly godless hasn't helped any.
At there very best our modern socialist schools offered the children a lukewarm and generic Protestantism. What does Christ do with the lukewarm? He spits them out of His mouth! Children who attend schools like this risk learning to be generic and lukewarm about their faith.
My grandmother ( born 1894) attended secular socialist schools that merely nodded to God in the morning. Children who attend these schools risk learning to think godlessly and occasionally nod to God.
Today's socialist schools are utterly godless, and merely to cooperate in the classroom children must think and reason godlessly. How can they not, at least while there?
If you are wondering how America lost its way, maybe the local godless socialist school is a good place to start looking.
Socialist schooling is an abomination. One more generation of this and I doubt we will survive as a free people. It's like looking a train wreck happening in slow motion.
