"Only this time he seems bent on terminating what's left of childhood innocence in California public schools."

That's something that's been gone close to 40 years now.

Why in the world would this man take the innocence of children?

Don’t get me started. This junk filters down from the national level after its importation from (as the artcle states) California. If the parents rise up, boards of education will listen, but the voices of teachers are merely irritants. Most of the parents are like your neighbors, and many don’t know because they really don’t care; they just want good grades and lean on teachers to get them.

You can take your child out of public school and also support overturning SB 777, as I posted on another thread. The two actions are not in opposition to each other.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. If you want on/off this list, please freepmail me. The main Homeschool Ping List by DaveLoneRanger handles the homeschool-specific articles. This is becoming a fairly high volume list.

It seems to me that if parents didn’t want this stuff taught they would be out in the streets protesting, writing letters, making phone calls etc. Because I don’t see this happening, I have to imagine that the vast majority of these parents either think it’s a great idea, or they simply don’t care.
Either way, it’s a sad situation, but until the public rises up en-mass, this will continue. The people do have some power, but they seem unwilling to wield it.

Saw it coming in the 50s. The disgruntled kids then became the parents and then got on the School Board and it was over. There were a lot of disgruntled kids in the 50s. There are more now because gruntlement was not properly managed.
