Anyone who has kids and either can’t or won’t home-school/private school is a monster. For all intents and purposes they are guilty of murdering their own children.

May they experience nothing but sorrow and agony forever.

This would be the definition of “bombast”. You realize you specifically include people who “can’t” homeschool in your homicide charge?

From one homeschooler to another: how could you get your point across in a much more persuasive and effective way?

We're not trying to kill the system. The system is God's to redeem or destroy. We're just trying avoid what seems to us to be an obvious socialist mistake.

A bit over the top. Eventually your kids are going to have to go out there and face "them". The indoctrination and the pressure only intensifies in college and beyond. My own sister, very conservative family, didn't lose her kids to leftist drivel until they were both in their late 20s. Eventually, they both succumbed to the pressure.

My advice to anyone would be give your kids the foundation, understanding and tools they need to understand who and what the left is and how and why they operate like they do.

What a mind numbingly stupid statement.

“Anyone who has kids and either can’t or won’t home-school/private school is a monster. For all intents and purposes they are guilty of murdering their own children.”

I'm surprised you generate enough wattage to breath in and breath out without help.

Please, ss, do not paint a broad brush on those who use public school. I say this has someone who has used both the public schools and successfully homeschooled.

Those who use the public school system see it first as a legal obligation. As long as they use it and their children thrive in that environment (and some do), they do not see it as a system promoting socialism.

That said, I would not call them monsters. Blind to socialism, yes, monsters, no. It is not intentional.

As far as murdering them, I would disagree greatly. If a parent does their job, and communicates the pitfalls of the leftist agenda to their children, a child will be better for it under any educational environment. It prevents the kids’ minds from being sacrificed to the godless. Murder is a strong word. I have seen homeschooling fail too, because the kids have no idea how to defend what they believe.

Our problem in this country is not education as much as it is parents. The public education system is doling out what the parents allow. Try changing it and you will find out that the problem is blind parents. Not monsters and murderers.

Work today to take the blinders off of a parent.

Wow, dude, that's much harsher than I normally call it. I usually just say: unless you absolutely cannot afford it, if you send your kids to public school you are not a conservative.

People who choose to send their kids to public schools are still addicted to OPM (other people's money).

Wow! I’m sure every doctor your family visits, every other tradesman or professional you hire, the police that patrol your neighborhood, and the local firemen, were all homeschooled. /s

There is nothing wrong with homeschooling except for the (comparative few) zealots who post things like this from time to time. In fact, if you were looking for the modern day equivalent of the judgmental self-righteous Pharisees that Jesus condemned so often, those zealots would fit the bill.

The one time I heard R J Rushdoony in person, someone asked what discipline the church could bring upon members with kids in public school. "None," he replied. "GOD will punish them. If we attempt to discipline them, we will drive them away from the ministry of the Word." As long as people show up and sit under a godly pulpit, God will work change in their lives.

Meanwhile, they set themselves up for a world of heartbreak. And it may not be our place to get between an erring soul and God's displeasure.

I'm with you.

Govt education is, second only to abortion, the most pernicious evil in this country.

the number of apologists for it on this board is disheartening.
