Parents of kids in public schools-STAND UP! Even if you are the only one, others will follow.

Great! If more people thought like that and actually followed through with action, in numbers, we probably could rid the public school systems of a few of it's ills...most importantly today, the elevation of islam as 'acceptable'.

I realize not everyone has unlimited funds...however, I do see plenty of people who say that private school is too expensive...while they move into large homes and drive nice cars.

Seems like more conservatives should either sacrifice financially or participate in revolting againt the government schools.

We still live in the modest/nice home we moved into 7 years ago in order to have the extra $1000 per month to send 2 kids to Christian school. Could have bought more house, but decided not to.

BTW, glad to have you on our team. My wife was also a 'seeking' liberal when I first met her. She's a full fledged VRWC member now! Looks like you have come a long way. Congratulations!

Thank you; yours is one of many very gracious welcomes to FR and it really is wonderful after years of being disparaged by liberals because I did not toe the party line on every issue. My husband and I would sacrifice gladly if it would give us enough $ for private school, but we live pretty humbly. I'm praying, literally, for a school voucher program to pass in our area, because that would really help. I would still fight the public school fight though, because we don't want the public schools to go unchecked and become terrorist mills, full of willing martyrs and I don't think that is an exaggeration.
Congratulations to your wife for finding the light! It feels great, after years of darkness.
