We can proliferate all we want, but until we stop sending our children to leftisit schools, where they turn away from the teaching of their parents, it will just be the breeding of more leftists!Homeschool...send your kids to community colleges and find small Christian schools to finish their degrees. They might have a chance then.

Amen, Sister! I have been preaching the same for years!

ALL government schools are an daily object lesson in socialism. This can NOT be reformed.

Government schools were a socialist idea from their very beginnings in the late 1800s to early 1900s.

Just by attending government schools children learn every school day for 13 years that it is OK for the government to take money from their neighbor to pay for a service that their parents want for **free**! If the government can get their neighbor to pay for schooling, why not medications, retirement, disability, college, transportation, and even entertainment?

It is my belief that we have the IRS, FDR's New Deal, Johnson's Great Society, etc.)because one to three generations of Americans had been acclimated to socialism simply by attending government schools every day. Even worse, they are taught by their government teachers that it is their **right** to do this! .

This can NOT be reformed. Prayer in schools, local control, eliminating teacher unions, ( etc.), none of this will fix government schools because taking money from a neighbor to pay for a service that parents want for free is a **DAILY** lesson in socialism. Socialism can NOT be fixed!

This shouldn’t be surprising... Medical students (I was one, once) are simply college students with the vast majority having the sole responsibilities of caring for their own needs while someone else (parents, govt, etc) is paying the freight. Once out in practice, as several of the practicing docs on the show stated, you not only have the increasingly onerous responsibilities of patient care in an ever growing 3rd party payer world combined with the landmines of treacherous trial attorenys, you are also a small businessman(person) with responsibilities of meeting payrolls, paying exorbitant taxes, leasing/purchasing incredibly expensive equipment, battling with insurance companies and gov’t bureaucracies, and raising families. As a practicing physician, I don’t know too many of my colleagues who are flaming liberals. True, you do find a higher % of Dr. Moonbats in academia and other non-private practice positions. But, the vast majority of docs become like most small businesspeople - conservative or libertarian. It would be most enlightening to take the same audience in Beck’s show (I saw it and it was the most honest and forthright portrayal of physician sentiments on this topic that I’ve ever seen) and reconvene them (esp the medical students) say 5 years after they graduate (don’t forget they have 3-8+ years of post-graduate training staring them in the face). I’d bet any sum that their viewpoints would be diametrically opposed to what they expressed on the show.

The popular culture used to be able to bring this up Maybe not overtly but it could be discussed. Give this a listen and tell me that the networks have no effect

BTW I think if we get rid of property tax and make the schools compete for tuition the majority of the socialist doctrine would die as well
