Last Friday would be the last day my child stepped into a school in this man’s district.

He doesn’t own my kids.

"...He doesn’t own my kids..."

You are correct, and I can tell you clearly see the issue at stake.

The problem is, he doesn't own your kids in the same way the government doesn't own my house. I own my house, but if I don't pay my property taxes (government mandate) then I lose my house. The government has behavior it mandates, and then has mechanisms to adhere you to compliance. It is not a far stretch to say that this kind of thing could be government mandated (if you regard the school district as government, then it IS mandated) and if you don't raise your kids the way the government sees fit, then there could be consequences. In this case, the kid will get penalized somehow because they didn't watch this statist propaganda.

Then, if we buckle under to this with all of its content (whether that content is good, bad or indifferent) the door is open to whatever the government says must be watched. Once you concede that the government can force your children to be subjected to something as innocuous as "volunteer more", "do your homework", "stay in school" and "eat your vegetables", then the door is open to whatever the statists in power think is appropriate.

And with people like Bill Ayers and others like him who have the ear of Obama, we know damn well that what they think is appropriate will end up in these things. "Social Justice", "Global Warming" and so on.

Once that camel's nose is in the tent, then does anyone doubt that there are no limitations on what they will do to radicalize young children? It is, after all, the stated goal of Bill Ayers, who has helped to shape Obama into what he is today.
