The core of this problem is the legal concept of In Loco Parentis, whereby the schools stand in place of the parents. This is chiefly a local matter, which is a good thing insofar as you GENERALLY don't have to battle D.C. on what your kids are fed by the local school district.

However, what this means is that while you can try to pack the School Board or PTA with Deplorables etc., the fact remains that the school remains in control of your kids and what they learn while in school (and in some cases, out of school depending upon the State). Therefore, while you may have some temporal wins, e.g., removing pro-Antifa propaganda from Social Studies, re-instituting learning the Constitution, the rot of governmental involvement funded by taxes remains. This is akin to addressing a terminal disease by eating healthy.

I'm not arguing against being involved in your local district. But what I AM saying is that as long as Johnny and Mary are going to public school, they won't get what YOU want. Homeschooling is the only option that gets you where you want to go.

I have a friend whose Millenial daughter home schools her four children.

It is a labor of love, and a very demanding task.

I estimate that she represents around 0.4% of women in her age bracket who want to do that.

You can’t win by packing the school board or PTA.. you have to actually get conservatives in as teachers and administrators....

Period.

Conservative think tanks should be setting up funds and programs to encourage this career path.
