Are you a government teacher, an education student, your parents government teachers, or does money come into your household by way of the education-industrial complex? ( Just curious)

No. I do have a Master's in Education and have written several papers on the state of our public school system. Sometimes I forget that no one else can hear the little voices in my head and, what seems to be a cohesive thought to me sounds like babbling to others.

The point that I failed to make was that society has shifted the burden of raising our children from the traditional family to the government. Our school system has replaced traditional parenting and now you have liberal commitees making decisions about what moral norms should be taught.

There are a hundred theories on how this happened, but in the end it's the parent's responsibility to object and to change the system. As conservatives, we are the ones who should be voicing our objections to this. We also need to develop alternatives, such as home schooling and charter schools, that aren't going to teach out children values and behaviors that are objectionable.

My point about the oriental children was that traditional oriental families play a much greater role in their child's life when they aren't in school. Instead of sending their kids into the dining room to do homework, they sit down with them and guide them through it. It might not be the perfect solution, but it's better than letting the school system and the liberal media raise your children for you.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I am afraid that we are almost past the tipping point.

With so many single moms dependent on the government, with so many people with government jobs, with so many fatherless children,with the demoralization of so many men regarding marriage, with so many people on welfare,,,I think it is now almost hopeless.

There is only **one** possible solution that I see.

If Marxists can have as their goal the indoctrination of children, then Conservatives ( Christian and non-Christian) must have the education of children as one of their primary goals.

Conservatives could do this by forming private scholarship foundations that would give private vouchers to private schools that upheld traditional Judeo Christian values. Welfare moms value a good education for their children and many would be attracted to these schools.

With enough children in the private system, a massive school tax revolt could be organized that would permanently shut down every government school in this nation!

I see this as our nation’s only hope.

It is either that or peacefully seceded, as Walter Williams has suggested.
