Thanks for telling me about your experience.

why should we surrender this nations educational system to the radicals?

That's a good question. What I think will help you better understand government schools is to read John Taylor Gatto's The Underground History of American Education. It's a real eye opener.

You can read it online if you want, just click the "Read the Book" link. I'd give you a direct link but I wanted to make sure you read the above linked page first.

Basically, what Gatto says is government schools provide a slaves education. If you want more than that you need to send your kids to a private school or homeschool. Our kids are getting an education you can't get anywhere. It's a custom tailored classical education for each kid.

Gatto doesn't think the current school system can be salvaged, and he knows. Check out Gatto - who he is and from where he's coming. About the only comparison I can give you is Gatto is like Spitzer is to homosexual issues.
