Hell, the poor kids of this country would probably be better off without public education teaching them about evolution, atheism and homosexuality.

But would the country be better off with millions of feral children growing up without the ability to read, write, and do math? And please don't give me a line about how it's happening now. There are districts that do a very poor job, but the overwhelming majority of kids do have a basic education and many have an excellent education. It goes without saying that many schools can do a MUCH better job and some teachers are worthless and should be behind bars rather than a desk, but I believe they are the minority

Please remember that these children growing up illiterate and innumerate still carry the right to vote. And the dumber people are, the easier they are to sway with 'bread and circuses.' So it makes me wonder if the people here on FR calling for the destruction of public schools and claiming it would be better to grow up that way are simply shills for DU and the Democrat party trying to destroy the one thing in this country that does help the poor.

I don't believe I'm reading this. I'm the one who is against an unconstitutional, socialistic and secular educational system, but that makes me a "shill for DU"? Surely you jest.

Listen, for the first 150 years of this country's history, we had virtually no public education but we managed to become the most powerful nation on Earth. Why? Because we had God's hand of protection on us. That matters more than "education". Most people back then only read enough to read the Bible and that was good enough for them. The uncomfortable truth is, most people dont need to read or do math or things like that.

Knowing the Bible, going to Church and working hard in life (for men), and keeping a good home (for women) should be good enough for everyone. If people want to be educated as a doctor or lawyer, they can pay for their own education. Theres no reason why we need to pay enormous taxes so that kids can go learn about evolution and gay sex when they should be in Church, helping out the family business or on the farm.

Yes, I know my viewpoint isn't in the majority, but I don't care. I don't live my life according to the World's standards.
