Anyone on FR that defends government schools must read this article!!!!!
Yes I did this 8 years ago...and please do not respond with one of those, "well you can afford it" messages....
The education, not indoctrination is worth more to me than a new home or a new automobile.....
I read that some group (Eagle Forum, Focus on the Family?) had developed a Parental Rights Statement which lists several pages of things you have NOT given your consent to, on behalf of your child. The school:
--must NOT teach sex/sexuality or gender/family issues without previous parental approval of the text and the content;
--must not subject student to any kind of psychological testing or therapy w/o parental consent;
--must give student the opportunity to opt-out of any assignment which the parents deem harmful to his spiritual, religious, or moral formation;
etc etc.
This statement is backed up with a multitude of legal references. The idea is that the parents present this to the the principal and teachers of the school and requies them to sign it before the parent enrolls the student in that school.
Does anybody know where I can get a copy of this?
