Ditto, ditto, ditto.

30 years of kids have been sent to indoctrination camps, funded by our own tax dollars. And we are surprised when they can’t discern a communist when they see one? For heaven’s sake, they’ve been taught to agree with every tenet of communism, they just don’t call it that!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It started when the first government schools ( funded by police threat taxes) opened in the mid to late 1800s.

As an institution, government schools are a relatively new institution. The last state to require compulsory government schooling wasn't until the beginning of the 1900s. To put this in perspective my mother is 96 and our county's high school is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.

The movement for government schooling starting in the 1840s and wasn't common until the mid-1800s to late 1800s.

So?....What was the consequence of sending our grandparents, and great grandparents into government schools that were funded by taking taxes from citizens by police threat? Answer: Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal!

Our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents became comfortable with accepting government taking money from their neighbor ( under the threat of police action) to pay for a service ( education) that their parents wanted for FREE. It was a short step from this to accepting free retirement, disability, reduced tuition state universities and Pell Grants, Medicare, free medicines, welfare, housing, food stamps, clothing...And the slide continues.

If you believe the problems with government schools began 30 years ago, then you among those who do not recognize that it is the institution ITSELF that is flawed and can NOT be fixed. Government schools were a socialist scheme from the beginning. They **always** were a daily object lesson to all the students in being comfortable with taking money from a neighbor. They can not be fixed because SOCIALISM CAN NOT BE FIXED!
