When I was a kid, I attended public school in Diamond, Missouri. The education was first rate and there was none of the indoctrination that is going on today.
The administration and staff were dedicated to teaching the children their ‘three Rs’ and developing good loyal citizens that practiced the golden rule.
If schools had remained steadfast in those goals, I wouldn’t have a problem with public schools. They didn’t, and I think it’s high time we called them on it.
We need a person with the fortitude and character to decry what is going on today.
I understand where you are coming from. If you want the NEA and the Department of Education to be destroyed, we’re on the same page for sure. Local run public education is not a problem for me, providing it is put back on track with sound values.

Local control is a problem for me. Even if districts were as small as a suburban subdivision block, two neighbors could gang up on another.
Freedom of conscience and government schools can not coexist!
Any government school powerful enough to force my ideas on my neighbor’s children is powerful enough to force my neighbor’s ideas on my children.
By the way,,,this really is an excellent article. I did what you suggested. I bookmarked it in my favorite education articles folder.

The education of young children is always “indoctrination”. Always. It is axiomatic.
Children are incapable of critical thought, and they are blank slates. If as the author of this article proposes is true ( Judeo Christian values are universal for all people), then it is important that we indoctrinate our nation’s children with these principles.
The enemy ( The Marxists who run the schools) are doing just the opposite.
