And if private school is not affordable, home schooling is a great option.
Transgender is the new gay.
I think you hit on an important point. Many private schools subscribe to the same leftist ideals as their public school neighbors. Private school guarantees nothing on this front.
Agree 100%. A REAL Catholic school, that is.
Short of that - home school.
By the way, a parent doesn’t have to do all or even most of the teaching. Tutors and retired teachers can be employed on a per diem basis.
I'm actually disappointed that it's 2017 and people are still publishing columns suggesting that it might be a good idea to get your kids out of public schools.
Really, it is the ONLY choice parents can make for the welfare of their kids. Take them out. It will be a huge personal sacrifice for many but I don’t see any other way.
School administrators and teachers that push this crap are the enemy within.
There is another option. It involves paying visits to the sick creeps doing this to small children.

My home-schooled 15-year old was getting all amped up watching Tucker Carlson last night (I think she’s in love with Mark Steyn).
All good parents need to get their daughters and sons into private schools that will stand up against destructive forces.
It is the only sensible solution for educating your children. If your children are merely status symbols- lifestyle accessories as it were, then leave them in Public School. If they are actually humans in development and if you care at all about their future, you will have already removed them from that acid vat.
HS ping.
We chose to home school and there are a multitude of on line classes, textbooks, training aids and everything you could possibly imagine for anyone to homeschool with ease.
There are college which will provide a full DVD course for each year with the same teachers who are on the DVD available for online or telephonic help if the child needs it.
All the way down the price list to youtube videos of classes where you can learn anything if you want.
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.
My child goes to an independent private Catholic school run by Opus Dei. Most diocesan Catholic schools are garbage-peddling bastions of Common Core & watered down catechesis. There are very few, and I do mean few, “real” Catholic schools remaining in the United States. Please pray for their protection.
If enough parents withdrew their children from public school, changes would be made fast. Less pupils = less loot to the school district.
I’d like to see homeschool cooperatives. Similar to credit unions. Charter schools are in thrall to the state, and getting worse with every turn of the screw, but perhaps a homeschool co-op could avoid state regulation and accreditation standards that few public schools ever live up to (to judge from the test results of the product).
While I’m on the subject — homeschooling does not entail enormous personal sacrifice...unless the building and development of a child’s mind and character are regarded as a form of suffering, in which case one shouldn’t be a parent.
and being Black makes it close to free, Catholic or not.
Suppose you were the parent of a kindergartner or a first grader in a school in which a child is claiming “transgenderism” and the school is forcing every other child to agree that a boy is a girl (or vice versa). Suppose, additionally, that you believe that a boy is a boy and a girl is a girl, and you believe it would be confusing or harmful for your child to be misled over something so scientifically basic and verifiable.
What specific actions would you take today in order to protect your 5- or 6-year-old child from, for example, being removed from class and threatened with punishment for deliberately or accidentally adhering to reality (”misgendering”) in his interaction with classmates?
