This would be the last day my daughter ever set foot in a Public School.

The only thing keeping my kids in the public school is the fact that even though my property taxes pay for the band instructors and all the extracurricular stuff, the school district won’t allow me to get what I paid for unless I also subject my kids to their indoctrination.

We’ve got 4 kids and my husband and I both play multiple instruments, but we can’t make a full symphonic band out of just us.

My son was chewed out in front of the whole class to the point of tears because he muttered under his breath, “Al Gore is an idiot” when the language arts class was forced to watch “An Inconvenient Truth”. (Never mind the f-words that the other kids regularly use and get a “Now now.”)

For his persuasive essay he chose to discuss the global warming hoax. When the language arts teacher asked him what he was writing on he said he was going to show that global warming is a hoax. The teacher said he was delusional.

I believe this is the same teacher he dealt with before on “celebrating diversity”. It was a tough time because Obama’s illegal inauguration was being shoved onto all the kids in school (this was after my kids had been sent to the back of the bus because they were known to be Republican, and the other kids shouted, “Kill McCain”).

There was a wall display taking up the entire 6th-grade wing of the school, saying “Celebrate Diversity” and including photos of people who had only one thing in common: they were neither white nor Asian. Two of the people my kids were being told to “celebrate” were Malcolm X and Fidel Castro.

So I had a talk with my kids about what it really means to “celebrate diversity” and that we judge the things that really matter - the right and wrong - without getting distracted by things that don’t matter, like race. I said that we truly celebrate diversity when we value every human life for its uniqueness and what it has to offer the world. I explained that Scripture talks about the different parts of the body having different functions but we need them all. He was cool with that.

So then when the language arts teacher was talking about the importance of “celebrating diversity” he raised his hand to make the point that celebrating diversity really means celebrating all human life and what it has to offer. This teacher said, “No it doesn’t. It’s really about race. But we don’t have time to talk about this.” And then she went on. She lost him right then and there.

When his Spanish teacher used a communist activist’s “free educational curriculum” to have the class make posters celebrating Latino achievers, my son was given a list of Latino politicians he could choose to “celebrate”. He couldn’t find one person on there who wasn’t democrat and he couldn’t find one person who wasn’t already found guilty of multiple crimes.

He asked me what he should do. I said he should make a poster saying exactly what this person’s “achievements” were. The teacher had no idea that the resource she was using was a communist group. When she saw the poster she said, “It sounds like he was very successful at being a crook.”

Now our local paper had an article that was basically an advertisement saying to any illegal immigrants displaced from Arizona, “Hey, come here! We won’t ask any questions. We’ll treat you like royalty and give you everything you need. And just about everybody teaching and administrating in our school system is a pro-immigration-reform activist affiliated with Soros-funded Appleseed”.

My kids hate school and I hate them being in this school. I spend incredible amounts of time un-teaching what the school tries to cram down them and teaching the academic content that the school tests them on but never teaches.

My kids’ grades would be straight-A’s except they are given projects where they are paired up with the flunkies who won’t do their portion of the work so my kids get the worst grades ever on those assignments which drags down their grades. But it makes it appear that the flunkies raised their grade so it helps with the “No Child Left Behind” concept.

My kids have come to hate communism because they see what happens when you have communal grades: it punishes the people who do the work and raises the belligerent ones who will never do a thing to earn a grade.

My kids are getting a real education on what the world they live in is like.

You mean she still sets foot in a Government school?

That is the correct response.

The educrats would say, “But we were only trying to protect her and keep her safe.”

And the response then should be “That is the exact reason I am pulling her out of your school.”
