The following is a comment I posted on another thread about this topic:

If Texans are clueless about the horrific damage that socialist-funded, compulsory, and godless government schooling is doing to their communities, then it is hopeless for the rest of the nation.

If **Texans** can't see that government schooling must be abolished then, I do think our future as a representative republic is doomed.

I am very discouraged.

Get a grip.

Your school is what you make of it.

Elect a conservative board. Start and support bible and pro-life student clubs. Teach your kids to stand up for their beliefs in the classroom, and as parents, challenge mushy-headed teachers as they catch your attention.

We’ve done all of the above, and our schools continue to be great.

If yours are too far gone, or you’re living in a liberal mecca, move or look at private schools. But don’t tell the rest of us to throw up our hands and cry for our country.

You don't know the half of it.

On thread topic: If the Spanish teacher wants to teach Mexican patriotism, I have a better idea for the vehicle for it. Require the students to memorize Mexico's immigration laws!

That would provoke thought, and understanding of Mexican patriotism!

On topic of abolition of government schooling, what is your take on khanacademy.org?
It looks to me like Mr. Khan is building the killer app for homeschooling - or at a minimum, has drawn a template of what that killer app will one day be. Maybe others can do what he is doing, better than he can. But why aren't they doing it?
After all, it's for the children.
