Nope! I disagree. These parents shouldn't be protesting. Protesting implies that reform is possible.
No! No! Instead, these parents should simply immediately and quietly withdraw their children. No diploma, certificate, credential, or scholarship of any kind is worth subjecting their children to this moral filth. They should then work mightily to see that all government schooling in this nation is abolished.
ALL of the socialist schools in this nation are godless in their worldview. There are NO “good” socialist government schools anywhere in this nation. Godlessness can not be reformed. And...Simply by attending children must think and reason godlessly just to cooperate in the classroom, read and understand the godless textbooks, and turn in assignments.
ALL of the government schools in this nation are socialist. Every one of them! Simply by attending children learn that the government has enormous police power to take money from a neighbor to fund this socialist single-payer program. They learn, simply by attending their socialist schools, that the government has the power of armed police to **force** citizens to use the socialist school program. Well!...Gee!...If government can give children tuition-free socialist schools, why not other socialist goodies?
I'm with you on every word -- except "quietly." Don't hide your light! :)
Bump your post!
The public schools are the very front lines of the engorged modern State’s total war against human society.
At this time, it is hard to be optimistic, except in the very long run.
“Nope! I disagree. These parents shouldn’t be protesting. Protesting implies that reform is possible.”
My POV is based on Texas schools which do not have teachers’ unions dictating to administrations. In fact, most teachers at my former district had joined professional organizations for the liability insurance coverage. A small minority of the teachers were members of TEA which is a regional arm of the NEA.
Although, I have been retired for six years and not at all involved with Texas schools, at the time I was teaching the school administration was most responsive to ‘blocs of angry parents’ and bad PR.
The older teachers were upset at having to get more involved on social issues and giving up time from academics. Younger teachers loved the social lessons and seemed unconcerned about reaching curriculum objectives from which time was taken.
The older teachers were very frustrated at the indifference of parents who had no idea of what was going on in the classrooms.
