Where did this all come from: the vitriol and vice, the anger and hatred, the looting, the riots, the destruction, the nihilistic confusion, the science-denying gender-bending sexuality, the suicidal infatuation with socialism, the adolescent whining for safety rather than freedom?
Just look over your sons or daughters shoulder, and you might find the answer.
Mr. Kay, who teaches English at... a Philadelphia public school, expressed his concern about the damage that parents might cause if they overheard the lessons he had prepared for their children.
Mr. Kay then described how conservative parents are his chief concern when he and his fellow teachers are engaging in the messy work of destabilization.
This past week the parents of students who attend Rutherford County Schools (RCS) in Tennessee were sent a note telling them that they must sign a form agreeing not to monitor their childs online classroom sessions...
In other words, parents in the heartland of Tennessee are being told to sign a form agreeing not to observe their sons and daughters education or their child will be expelled from class. Unless, of course, teachers such as Mr. Kay, out of the benevolence of his heart, grant these lowly parents permission to engage.
Maybe it is because we have allowed ourselves to be removed from the No.1 obligation we have in raising our children: Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6).
Call me crazy, but if Im paying the bill for my kids education (which I am), I have the right to be involved in and informed of everything everything! youre teaching him, and there isnt a snowballs chance in Texas Im signing a form forfeiting that right.

No do not send kids to the leftist colleges. Most can start at community colleges or conservatve tech schools.
Technically, I have every right to go in and audit my kid’s class if he’s at the physical school. Obviously, I don’t have fewer rights when they’re borrowing my living room to use as their school.
And that is whats coming Im afraid. There will only be one way out of the mess weve all allowed to happen in this country. I pray not but God may have the only way. We patriots may all be wearing the full armor of God sooner than we thought.
Sounds like you had a great dad. Sorry for your loss at such a young age.
Even at the community colleges, the same things are happening, but at least the students aren’t there 24/7.
It’s a lot worse than you imagine, I have had quite a few job offers of 150k just because I am able to speak to people. It turns out personal communication, you know TALKING to each Other, is now a Lost Art, and those under 30 are wholly incapable of holding a thoughtful, rational conversation with anyone, oh they can text and tweet, but they can’t Talk, Read or Spell.
Can I borrow 35 dollars?
Yeah man you drive with kids in the car today and they don’t say a WORD. it’s RUDE and stupid.
I drove a cab in my 20s overnights and it was so fun with the customers.
I did it as a second job 7 years ago and it was SO LONELY.
No one said a word to me. Just read their phones
Agreed but one can pick and choose courses. In our area many of the cc and voc school teachers are less pc
We have a puncher’s chance if we can win in November with the downvotes that allows us to get to an Article V Convention.
If we can get there and not limit it to 2 issues, like some prominent conservatives want to do, we have a REAL chance of saving the Republic. But it will take everyone to be active.
- amendment mandating a balanced budget
- amendment clarifying the US Constitution needs to be interpreted by the original intent of the founders
- amendment for citizenship, natural born citizen, and anchor babies
- amendment to restore the militia back to its constitutional form
- amendment redefining treason and sedition
- amendment for capital punishment limiting time and scope of appeals, rules of evidence, and clarifying “cruel and unusual punishment”
- amendment prohibiting membership in international organizations infringing on US sovereignty
- amendment prohibiting trade with any nation with a national defense strategy to subjegate the United States
- amendment prohibiting reparations
- amendment to eventually shift social security and medicare to states’ responsibility (death blow to liberal policies)
- amendment asserting English is the official language and no taxpayer monies will be spent translating into any language except customs forms for visits.
You need to stop drinking this late on a Sunday night.
Did anything I said was wrong? I am a student of history. The US is done if we don’t get to a Convention, no matter who wins.
I saw Virginia change right before my eyes. Demographics.
Keep children away from public school teachers!
........................................
Any parent who cares about their children and their country, needs to review what enormous psychological damage is being done to children in public schools everywhere. Government/union run schools are extremely detrimental to the mental and moral development of children from pre-school through graduate school.
The parents should go to the school and drag these assholes out by their hair. I can imagine how bad these lessons are if they have to hide them from the parents. These people better wake up and stop paying for their children to be brainwashed into hating themselves, their parents and their country.

Well and truly said and every word of it!
If you’re not homeschooling, start. Now.
Pink Floyd was right - Hey! Teacher! Leave those kids alone!
Rudolf Flesch, Why Johnny Cant Read ? And What You Can Do About It (1955) explained it.
About 20 years later, he wrote "Why Johnny STILL can't read".
BTW, when we were homeschooling, I figured Americans were the most literate in the Victorian era.
So I looked for books teaching reading from 1830 to 1860.
I quickly found two sets of phonics rules that have been forgotten since then.
The table of substitutes and the table of silent letters.
I put them on my edsanders.com website.
Scroll down there, and look for "phonics" and click on it.
Do it soon, as I am going to be working on that site, and they may disappear for a while.
They are made to be printed out as "cheat sheets".
Sending your kids to most public schools is child abuse.
So is using the public schools' "distance learning".
“The philosophy taught in the classroom in one generation becomes the policy of the government in the next generation’’.- Abraham Lincoln.
This is done when a mother teaches a daughter to cook.
It's done when a father teaches a son his trade.
It's done when the family together goes to worship with the rest of their community.
It's no wonder that Western European surnames are often based on occupations: Baker, Butcher, Butler, Carpenter, Cook, Cooper, Fisher, Gardner, Hunter, Mason, Miller, Potter, Smith, Tailor, Wheeler, Wood...
Families passed down their customs to the next generation. Towns only had enough population to support a few hinters and a butcher, a carpenter and a smith, a miller and a baker, a carpenter and a mason...
By taking parents out of the lives of their children, the schools are trying to break the passing of heritage and culture in America.

I see you’ve collected a lot of eclectic information on your site, including tables of phonics rules. I don’t think I have seen those before. When we were learning to read it was a blended approach in which we got Dick, Jane and Sally readers at school and a more phonic approach at home. We had a lot of spelling tests and gradually absorbed unusual spellings and pronunciation through reading, daily school work, and magazines. I remember liking the vocabulary builders in our newspaper and my parents’ Readers’ Digest magazines. We don’t seem to see those ongoing reminders to develop our vocabulary even in adulthood.
