Don’t abandon the fight, empower vested parents to defeat the beast.
Either way, we got our kids through and they are off on their various paths, but yeah, it was a struggle fighting some of the idiocy the lefttards tried to inflict. We helped get at least one teacher kicked out of the system, so one down…
