I'm getting patriarchal urges just reading this. [sarcasm/]

This silliness is rampant on our college campuses, that's for sure. But it's even seeping down into our grade schools. My daughter brought home a sheet from her elementary school at the start of the school year that was headlined "It takes an entire village to educate a child"; it was addressed to "Dear Patron" (not parent/guardian); and it was larded with a lot of P.C. catchphrases and nonsense. And my kids informed me that Dodge Ball, Red Rover, Tag, and hide n' go seek had all been formally banned on the playground, because (they were told) someone always felt "left out" or "excluded" when those games where played. Truly disgusting.

Madness! Yet another reason why my kids (hopefully far in the future kids :P) will *never* attend a public school.

Are they intentionally trying to set the kids up for culture shock when they hit the real world?? Having kids in school myself, I'm realizing more and more how much supplemental education I have to do at home, not just in academics, either.

They are destroying your child's individuality and depriving them of a real education. It is a form of brainwashing in every sense of the word and quite deliberate.
