Stumpf said he feared the conduct with flags on schools grounds could "pretty quickly erupt into violence."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Would you want your child attending a school that is so racially volatile that a flag could "pretty quickly erupt into violence"?
Would you want to work at a business that was this volatile?
What the government is doing is FORCING children into an environment that is dangerous and would challenge the diplomatic skills of the most mature adult!! For most of these children attendance at this "quickly to erupt" monstrosity is not voluntary. If these kids don't show up armed police will soon be at their doors threatening prison or foster care.
Let's call this what it REALL IS! It is government enforced and perpetuated emotional and physical CHILD ABUSE.
Solution: Begin the process of privatizing universal K-12 education.

1. We homeschool.
2. I'm not in charge of the school - the weak apologist Stumpf is. This is a leadership issue. His decision only draws the spotlight to the condition you describe - weakness in the face of bad behaviour for decades. Hundreds of similar decisions is how you end up here.
3. Any form of privatization or choice will naturally lead to a better situation, and more satisfied customers, and a better product - as it has in all other markets. I just thought of this - re public schools. Think about GM - how long ago did we know they could not compete on product? Ten years? Twenty years+? (Remember - trucks are protected by tarrif) - now look where GM is. How long have we known public schools were underperforming - ten years? Twenty years .... do the math. I'm rambling and going to bed.
