It's a self-perpetuating problem at this point, then. The brainwashing is complete.

Dependence upon government for protection from harm is a multigenerational problem at this point, what we engineers call a positive feedback loop.

It's amusing to hear public school teachers complain about parents who are themselves products of public schools.

It's not terribly amusing to hear my wife's sister, a teacher in a California elementary school, worry about how to afford to keep her own kids from attending the school at which she teaches.

It's not like it's an inner city school. Her whole city has a population of less than 50,000.

My sister-in-law doesn't like the curriculum, the changing demographics, or the quality of education provided by the school district. She votes Republican, if you hadn't already guessed.
