The government schools wouldn't last a month if every Christian family pulled their children out. Most depend on the state's daily attendance funds, as well as local property taxes. Take those little Christian bodies out of those desks, and the school systems wouldn't be getting the bucks from the state's taxpayers. When Christians realize that they have nothing to gain and only the souls of their children to lose in the hostile anti-God/anti-Christian environment of today's schools, they can change them by simply not participating in the evil.

Thank you!
My point



Radical left-wing writers, including Alexander Cockburn and James Ridgeway, incessantly rail against parental "interference" in schools, because, as they openly acknowledge, "The Left can't survive politically without a public school system to spread leftist attitudes."[3]

Bingo. This is how you fight this battle. Cut off the funding, and send your kids to a good private school or homeschool them.

No sense fighting the local school system for change. They are the symptom, not the disease. That good teacher your kid had in 1st grade will be nullified by the idiot he or she gets in the 2nd grade.

Vouchers are such a good and fair idea I can't believe we don't have them. We need to keep pushing our representatives on that issue.

You have to pay school taxes (through your property taxes) whether you have your kid in school or not. There are some exceptions but very rare.

Pulling kids out wouldn't make a dent - its the ballot box that matters.
