In 2004, while researching the Open Society Institute, The Tides Foundation and Codepink, I stumbled on an arm of the Code Pink/George Soros nexus that promoted ‘teaching materials’ to lazy socialist teachers. It was all anti-american, anti- capitalism, enviro-nazi propaganda. They gave away ‘free materials’ and course planning to teachers and did lots of networking on education websites. These people have been at this for a long, long time and we had better dig them out, branch and root, before it is too late.
Home schooling is the answer for some, but unless we stop them from indoctrinating the millions of students that do not home-school, we are not going to stop the coming commie cataclysm. My son is grown now, but I plan on becoming very active at our local school board meetings in the very near future. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! These people are nothing but anti-american communists and it’s time to take our schools back!

While I agree with you that we must fight the Marxists on every front, I disagree with you that we can “take back” our government schools.

Please let me explain:

Government schools **are** socialism and always have been. From the moment the first child stepped foot in a government school in the mid-1800s, children have learned that it is OK for the government to take money from their neighbors to pay for a service that their parents want for free. Then to compound this daily object lesson in socialism, teachers for 13 years teach the children it is their **right** to have the government threaten their neighbor with police action so they can have tuition-free education.

Government schools **are** socialism. How can you “take back” and fix socialism. Answer: You can't.

Solution ( do all simultaneously):

1) Remove your own children from the government schools and encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same. Government schools need two things: Students and money. Taking children out of the government system does both. It starves the government schools of students and the money that is attached to these students.

2) Encourage vouchers, tax credits, and charters. This will build the infrastructure needed if and when all schooling is finally privatized. Wherever charters, vouchers, and tax credits are allowed, there soon form LONG LONG waiting lists of children with parents desperate to get their children into these schools. These parents are highly organized politically, and politicians will respond to their pressure. Geeze! Even the Democratic mayors of Milwaukee, Newark, and Washington are now firm supporters of vouchers.

3) In one California high school the teachers, themselves, voted to make their entire government high school into a Green Dot charter school. We must encourage more of this.

4) Conservatives themselves must start private educational foundations that would fund individual teachers who would open tuition-free, private, conservative, mini-schools and one room schools.

As the government schools disappear parents would be expected to take the responsibility of paying tuition. Charity would pay for the poor.
