Defund the “public school”.

The “public school” is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.

The “public school” is better understood as the “government school collective”.

It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is collectivist.

It is hypocritical to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally disagree. And children dislike hypocrites.

Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.

If you want to win the culture war, have lots of children (see my tagline) and homeschool them or form your own school cooperative with your church or synagogue and like-minded friends and relatives.

Nobody loves your children more than you do.

Nobody can teach your children better than you can.

Nobody knows your children better than you do.

Your children would love nothing better than to be taught by you, if you start doing so before they are corrupted by the government school collective.

If you have children, make whatever sacrifices you must to get them out of the public schools.

>>Stanford economist Caroline Hoxby also has studied how teacher unions affect education. While there is evidence that teacher unions have a “pretty big positive” impact on how much is spent on public schools, there is either no impact or a negative impact on student performance, she said.

In other words, they unnecessarily drive up costs without providing any benefit to the students.

Government employee unions should be outlawed.

Lawmakers are moving to undercut the tenuous power of teachers unions by barring them from using voluntary paycheck deductions for politics.

Tenuous? Good grief.

I'm guessing the Kansas City Star is written, edited, printed, and distributed by loyal Union members.

Governor Brownback is hated by the RATS here. The papers (all RAT-controlled) are full of hateful editorials by editors and lefty poly-sci professors.

Teacher unions and other public unions must be terminated, throughout USA. This perversion of government on government should never have been.

Know your enemy and their tactics. These are from Michigan but I doubt things are done much differently there.

"Tenuous power"? Teachers unions are as entrenched as it gets. What are these idiots at the Red Star smoking?
