No argument that the public education system is financially inefficient. I'd much prefer the whole affair be privatized, and a voucher program be enacted.

Unfortunately, there's reality. The public schools are here. Homeschoolers aren't going to change that fact. The majority of the populace simply won't, or can't, homeschool their children.

You can raise knowledgeable, conservative, reverend children in your home, but they'll be outnumbered by droves of marxists at the ballot box unless you fight to maintain control of the schools.

The public schools are the battleground. Ours happen to be excellent, and we are working hard to keep them so.

Yours may be too far gone. What have you done, personally, to change that fact? And no, posting witty Jefferson quotes on FR doesn't count.

I’m afraid so. We live in what used to be conservative New Hampshire, now overrun with communists and meddling busybodies from Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and Rhode Island.

Our schools are as Politically Correct as Lexington, MA, but without the academic performance thereof. Worst of both worlds.

You must live in a conservative part of the world where the schools are still at least somewhat responsive to the community.

Our schools are dead to us. They do what they want, and that’s to promote the humanist worldview.

For all intents and purposes, our schools have become the Bus Ministry of the State Church of Humanism.
