re: “Mama punched the government enforcer. . .”
That’s what YOU call this child’s kindergarten teacher? A “government enforcer”?
I don’t know if this teacher deserved what she got, but your term for this teacher is meant to be de-humanizing.
I know there are hard feelings among many freepers here regarding public schools and public school teachers.
Public schools are built by your state and teachers are hired by your local school districts. School district trustees are voted on by you (at least they are in my state). Public school teachers are NOT federal employees - and, yes, I know the Dept of Education farms out millions and millions of tax dollars for programs that states may or may not participate in, but usually teacher pay is not from the federal government, but from the individual states the schools are located in.
My point is, local public school teachers work for you, the taxpayer. I respect and admire homeschool parents - you are doing a terrific job. My wife homeschooled some of our kids for awhile, too.
I don’t like federal government intrusion into our lives or when the federal government bullies the states into doing what they want either.
I think we also, as parents or citizens in the local community need to raise holy h**l with local schools when they or individuals within the public schools do stupid outrageous things. I would do the same thing with a private school where my kids attended as well.
Having said all that - NOT ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS OR PUBLIC SCHOOL PRINCIPALS ARE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE “GOVERNMENT” AUTOMOTRONS! They are people with feelings as well. Most teach because they love working with kids and WANT to do a good job. Don’t equate teachers unions agendas with all teachers.
I know this is probably just going to get me flamed, but I don’t give a rip. Dehumanizing people whether they are police, fire fighters, national guard, or school teachers ARE NOT SIMPLY “GOVERNMENT ENFORCERS” - for God’s sake try to see past the labels to the person.
I respect and admire homeschool parents - you are doing a terrific job. My wife homeschooled some of our kids for awhile, too.

Guess what?
I think government schooling is soooooooo EVIL that I will NOT have a government teacher for a friend. I won't have an abortion worker or a concentration camp guard for a friend, either. They are too evil, too stupid, or too much of a useful idiot to be a friend.
One reason the K-12 schools exist is because armies of workers **willingly** agree to run them. The same is true for abortion centers, and concentration camps, too!
So..If the institution is horrible then the people who run them are horrible by default.
It is HORRIBLE that children are under police threat to attend prison-like schools that are GODLESS and the very definition of a single-payer and socialist-entitlement. It is HORRIBLE that taxpayers are under police threat to pay for it.
Government schooling is a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination and millions of **willing** workers make it happen day after day.
It is HORRIBLE to force a child into a godless school where they **will** learn to think and reason godlessly . They must just to cooperate in the godless classroom. How could it be otherwise? And **millions** of socialist-entitlement school workers agree to do this every school day. I am to praise them for this? You are kidding? I hope.
It is HORRIBLE that children are FORCED under police threat and court action to attend a socialist-entitlement and single-payer school where they risk learning to be comfortable with socialism. Hey! If the voting mob can give them tuition-free schooling, why not use the voting mob to get lots of “free” stuff? Teachers and principals WILLING **seek** to do this horrible act to children. This isn't wonderful. IT IS AN ABOMINATION!
