Yes, they are **that** bad and have been since their beginnings in the mid-1800s to early 1900s. Why?
—Socialist-entitlement schooling is the very definition of socialism. Simply by attending children risk learning that government and the voting mob has enormous power to take money from a neighbor to give them tuition-free schooling. Well?..Gee!...If government and the voting mob can give them tuition free schooling, why not **lots** of socialist goodies. It only took one to three generations of socialist K-12 schooling to produce the socialist Franklin D. Roosevelt for **four** terms!
—While the earliest of the modern socialist schools forced a generic and lukewarm Protestantism on the nation's children, today's socialist K-12 schools are utterly godless in their worldview. Just to cooperate in the classroom, read the textbooks, and turn in assignments the child must think and reason godlessly. How could it be otherwise? ( By the way, what does Christ do with the lukewarm? He spits them out of His mouth!)
—Government socialist schooling trashes every First Amendment Right of the child and ( indirectly) the parents, and the voting mob forces the citizen to pay for this abomination. While in his socialist school, and increasingly even outside it, the child's right to free speech, free press, free assembly and association, and exercise of his religion is vigorously suppressed by government functionaries. By attending, he risks learning to be a compliant little slave to the socialist state. Children who **rationally** rebel against being treated like a prisoner and refuse to attend are hunted down by truant officers, and even armed police, and they and their parents face expensive court appearances and even real hard-prison time.
—It is impossible to have a religiously, culturally, and politically neutral worldview and this is true for education. When government owns and runs schools it establishes the religious, cultural, and political worldview of the most powerful political factions, and trashes those of the less well connected.
—In many ways, government treats children ( whose only crime was being born) like prisoners. It is government who orders children when to assemble and with whom. It controls their speech. It regulates when and what they can eat, rest, exercise, and even use the bathroom. It's buildings look like minimum security prisons, and the exercise yards could be mistaken for that of any prison. The kids are driven about in buses that look like prison work gang buses.
—Yes, it is still possible to escape the socialist schools but parents must pay **ransom** or **jizya** to do so. In my county, there are NO private schools because the price-fixed government cartel has priced its tuition at “free” and created a hostile business climate for the creation of private schooling. If private CEOs colluded to price-fix a market they would soon be in prison. Down on the Animal Farm, price-fixing government school bureaucrats live in the farmer's house. Price-fixing CEOs get prison. OINK!
Finally, Marxists and homosexuals have infiltrated every level of teacher training, curriculum development, union leadership, and administration. Government schools are, now sooooooo evil, in my opinion, that I have made a personal decision:
I WILL NOT HAVE A GOVERNMENT TEACHER FOR A FRIEND!
Personally, I seriously doubt that our nation can survive another generation of children being indoctrinated in our nation's socialist schools. I believe it is **that** serious! Government teachers are either too evil, too stupid, too much of a Useful Idiot, or worship their paycheck and pension more than their Christian faith, to be my friend. That's my personal decision.
Why would God save a nation that does the following:
—Murders its babies in the womb, some having their skulls crushed just seconds before their first breath?
—Sends its precious children into schools where they must think and reason godlessly just cooperate in the classroom?
At least the murdered babies fly directly into the arms of Jesus. Those children who attend government schools risk sad consequences that are lifelong and even eternal.
Government teachers
Get a life.
