I recall an assembly where the entire school was shown a film on the environment, in 1960-something. It showed cartoons of thick air pollution created by factories that lingered while exhaust emissions from cars simply vanished. GM produced this educational film.
How can people be surprised that a public school will become a cess-pool of politically correct groupthink and Liberal clap-trap. It's absolutely inevitable.
If you don't like it, don't send your kids to public schools.
As a parent, my 'wake up call' about liberal teachers endoctrinating children, came over 10 years ago when my then 2nd grade son came home and proudly told me he knew the difference between the democrat and republican parties. He said: "Republicans help the big businesses, and democrats help the little people."
Let's not forget the arms of NAMBLA infiltrating the schools, known as GLSEN and P-FLAG.
I am stunned at what the kids say, but honored to be a Stealth Tutor. haha.
Keep up the good work. It is sorely needed.
My mom taught in the L.A. Unified school system and preferred teaching kindergarten because the kids had yet to be indoctrinated.
Any chance that David Horowitz would finance a documentary illustrating some of this? I think it'd be enlightening to some of those who are not as familiar w/ our public "schools."
I love your suggestion. That is what I have suggested at the college level. The videos should be kept for at least 2 weeks, so that parents can request them if they have complaints. Just the fear of a parent complaint, and the video to back it up, should put at least a small amount of proper fear into the leftist teachers.
I agree. I homeschool my child because the schools are a mess. but most do not and we will eventually lose. WE need to be fighting this as actively as if our kids were in the school system.
those kids indoctrinated to day will soon be voters.
that said, how do we fight this? where do I start ?
And they wonder why kids can't read? Clearly, the priorities of teachers are in the wrong place.
***How you word the question is very important....***
In THIS, case it's only important if you're a nit picker.
My daughter's pre-school installed little web-cams in all the classrooms. Parents could log onto the website and get the feed from any internet capable computer. The cameras had no audio and would send out an updated 300x400 picture every 20 seconds, so they were pretty useless for monitoring what was going on.
But, I gotta tell you, the attitude of the teachers took a 180 overnight. All of a sudden they were the best behaved, most on-the-ball bunch you ever met in your whole life. Everybody was working all the time and happy. The difference in the school was like night and day.
And that was with cheap piddly little web-cams. If you wired a public school with full motion cameras with audio, it would completely transform the educational landscape.
This is a great idea, and it's cheap to do. Well, not so cheap if we put in the hands of the educational bureaucracy. But, done right, it need not cost a lot of money.
| parents "have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students." |
Exactly.
When I pulled out my buck folding hunter to help my 6 year old granddaughter carve a pumpkin, she gasped and said officer (some woman's name) told us to tell our parents that they shouldn't have that kind of knife around the house. Then she went on to tell me that guns are bad and people shouldn't have them because they are dangerous.
When she gets older I will have to have a serious talk with her.
I sent an email to David Horowitz's organization suggesting that they push for students to, at least, have the right to record all of their classes. Again, I hope that it would be a little bit of "the fear of God" (or fear of a lawsuit) into the teachers. I also liked your idea of you using top teachers to circumvent public schools. I think that technology will soon be changing the need for the big brick-and-mortar of both colleges and elementary and secondary schools. Add in some educational vouchers and we could have a true revolution in education.
Yup, we homeschooled too! I am on my knees daily thanking God for the opportunity. The more I see, the more it turns my stomach.
Um, where did I get it? That may not be the exact title. It's down at the office, I can get it Monday and post it (where?). To your mail.
Thank you. It is a high calling that I am pleased to have. Bboop, tho -- it's on my business cards and everything ....
