“The left has been incrementally taking over the state established school systems for 40+ years”
While it is 40+ years, a more accurate statement would be 100+ years. There are several places that a person could learn about the formation of our current public education system. I would suggest the book, “Clergy in the Classroom” by David A. Noebel. It presents several quotes from the founders of public education going back to 1897 spelling out what the plan was and is...everything is going as planned.
“And yeah, taking kids out of public schools is a good way to make a point...”
The idea is not to make a point, but to do what is best for the child. How many more generations are we willing to offer to the other side while we “try” to improve the system by school boards, open enrollment, school choice, etc.?
My answer is...”NONE of my children”
I know from personal experience that UW-Madison has been preaching liberal socialism for at least the past 40 years. Like the “ends justify the means” behavior that has been on display over Walker’s budget reforms....
It is over 100+ years. It started before John Dewey but Dewey is the main criminal behind this takeover.
