So my daughter brought this home from school. Seems like unusual questions to ask a 1st grader, especially the third question. Would they have asked the same questions while Obama was President? My daughter knows who Trump is but we don’t talk politics with her because she’s 6. She’s being taught about honesty, respect, kindness, responsibility and hard work. Politics have no place at her age. Of course if she has questions I answer in terms & words she understands. To ask these questions seems like indoctrination or propaganda research to me. How would a 6 year old form an opinion on Trump’s kindness? His ability to keep us safe? The MSM? Which has a clear bias against him & is pushing the gun control narrative. Parental influence?

This is child abuse.
All parents should send their daughters and sons to private schools.
And, therein lies the rub.
While you and I may be able to afford to send our children to private school, the majority of the population cannot...or, for whatever other reason, do not.
The leftists (who are in charge of our public screwels, teacher’s unions, curriculum, etc) very well know this.
They know that they have a captive audience, and that they are free to move about whatever indoctrination they choose, all paid for with OUR tax dollars.
What do you propose for a viable solution?
TIA.
The school is attempting to identify the children of its political enemies.
It is like the Florida students telling us what to do and how to run the country.
Now they want the 6 year olds telling us how to run the country.
The brainwashing/indoctrination started in the 40s. Khrushchev even said, “Your children will be taught and they will not know that they are being taught. You will not know that they are being taught.”
I propose a per-student per-year refundable tax credit for parents who send their daughters and sons to private schools in an amount sufficient to cover the cost of the private schools.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
pull kids out of public schools and teach them in groups with one parent or two for each day. It is a form of homeschooling, and it works.
The only way to end the public schools is to remove the children and leave them to the problem kids.
The kid should answer:
1: Yes, he is kind, much kinder than a teacher using children to indoctrinate them to hate a Republican President.
2: Yes, he keeps us safe, and much safer than teachers that won’t protect us from bad guys with guns because they are cowardly liberals.
3: Yes, he should be president again, but you should not be a teacher ever again for asking these questions.
That’s a WONDERFUL idea!!! Sounds very similar to vouchers.
We’ve only been talking about that, here, forever! We’re willing to settle for the amount that we pay in school taxes, be refunded/vouchered.
Now, how to you propose to get legislatures (local/state) to pass this idea?
(That’s where the cheese always get bind-y.)
That’s another great idea.
A private school co-op. I support it 100%. The problem we found with doing this, when our kids were younger, were finding qualified parent’s willing to dedicate the time to do this.
Sad, isn’t it? The organization of the idea is where it always fell apart.
You sound very blessed to have been able to make this system/idea work, with your group/area.
How many years were you able to keep this system going? TIA.
there are coops going in this area that are still ongoing and have been for at least twenty years.
I recommend refundable tax credits over vouchers because refundable tax credits are more a parents-controlled thing whereas vouchers could become a government-controlled thing.
As to getting legislatures to institute them, it is all about standing together, speaking up, making a clear case, and not taking no for an answer.
THAT is a blessing. Are you in a rural, city or suburban area?
To me, that is the best solution to this public school indoctrination system.
You have parent teachers you know and trust and control over what is being taught....members of the co-op’s are invested.....personally!!!
Sounds really great.
Please keep me posted on how this works out, for your area/district/town/state.
The country needs a model process for parents nationwide to follow.
One word
Homeschool
If you really care about this stuff why is your daughter in public school at all?
Several of the young people (twenties, early thirties) of the “alt-light” who do YouTube presentations have long been saying that they’ve received large numbers of pro-Trump messages from even younger people in their teens. They’ve made quite a few videos to talk about the likely conservatism of “Generation Z” in the future.
That’s what the left is so hysterical about. They know that they got all of their political influence by way of controlling information to children and young adults in schools over the past couple of generations, and they don’t want to lose that control over us.
The feminist, queer, socialist left has dominated both political parties and ruled over us with an iron fist in business, academia and politics for several decades, so they’ll be making some more radical moves on the kids.
I remember answering stuff like that when Reagan was president. I was a little older though.
If that came home with my First Grader, I would be at that School bright and early the next day demanding to know who decided this had anything to do with Educating my Child.
^ This + 1 The teacher and i would be having a very frank discussion first thing in the morning before class, then the administration would get an earful. Nobody wanted to test me when my kids were in school, then i became the school board chair.
rural suburban, but can work anywhere.
