Let’s say you go to McDonaldsand spend $20 a week there. You get mad because McDonalds supports leftists so you quit going there but you still give them $20 a week. Who wins?
Yes, it would be best to be able to deny them our tax dollars as punishment for promoting a harmful ideology on our society, but at the least, get your kid out of there.
1 Cor 15:33
Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
Ephesians 4:14
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
There are no passages which say that good character affects bad company, especially among children.
Think of it this way - McDonald’s food is not the healthiest for your kids, so even if you do give them $20 per week and don’t go, your kids would be better off.
The child wins if he is taken out.
In many states schools receive funding based on the number of children who attend. When a child withdraws money leaves the school. That's how it is in my state.
States do lay off teachers and close and combine schools when enrollment drops.
If property taxes remain the same at least the money is going to other services other than Marxist schooling.
As more children leave the government schools there is less support for the government schools in the voting booth.
With fewer children in the government schools the influence of the educational-industrial complex is lessened. ( For instance, in my county the government school is the biggest single employer, has the largest payroll, and expends more money to employees and vendors than any other business in the county. That adds up to a lot of support in the voting booth.)
Let's say that the reason you stop going is that you find out the manager has been putting arsenic in the burgers. Still sending your kid and patting yourself on the back for your fiscal sense?
I understand some folks think that working within the system or some such is the right approach, but IMHO, unless the system is replaced with a system that is 100% free market, efforts to reform the current system, up to and including going after school boards, is like trying to plug the hole in the side of RMS Titanic.
"Don't get in the lifeboat, dear...our luggage is too valuable to leave."
Your child and their family are the winners in the scenario you paint. Stop paying your taxes and you will eventually be forced to pay for them, with your paycheck, your home, or your freedom... Pull your child out of the school and although you are still paying your taxes, your child will not be subject to the indoctrination...
We do what we can at this point... And homeschooling IS one way to defend against the agitprop within our government schools.
Others may choose to take on every teacher/Principal/School Board, but think of the ramifications to the child... It WILL get back to them in one way or another - a “slighted” teacher WILL make the child “pay” in one way or another (for the most part — I suppose there are a few out there who wouldn’t, but they are probably very few and far in between).
