I was checking my 8-yr old son's classwork assignment grades. He was so demoralized that he was getting C, D and F on many assignments. I was shocked and delved deeper. Turns out he is assiged a letter grade on these assignments even though he is "making progress" getting up to 70 or even 80 percent of the questions right. Worse, he was assigned an F grade on an assignment because he did not get the meaning for terms "Human Rights" and "Tolerance".
WTF is an 8-yr old supposed to know this shtuff?
Damn....I am seriously considering pulling him out of school and home schooling.
Private school maybe?
You could get a lot of good advice on that here, from what I can tell.

Do it. Do it now!
It will only get worse.
The “public school” is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.
The “public school” is better understood as the “government school collective”.
It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is communist.
Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.
If you want to win the culture war, have lots of children (see my tagline) and homeschool them or form your own school cooperative with your church or synagogue and like-minded friends and relatives.
Nobody loves your children more than you do.
Nobody can teach your children like you can.
Your children would love nothing better than to be taught by you, if you start doing so before they are corrupted by the government school collective.
It is hypocritical for you to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally disagree. And your children will know it.
If you have children, make whatever sacrifices you must to get them out of the public schools.
DO NOT FEED THE BEAST!
Especially not with your own children.
Homeschool. He’ll thank you later. Maybe later this week.
Signed, a homeschool graduate
Then give your 8 year old a vacation to Disneyland ;) /sarc
They wanted some kind of an “affirmation of depravity” and “rejection of Biblical principles” answer.
I will clear the halls in my kids’ school if that starts up.

Definitions:
“Human Rights” are what justifies absolute government control over the entire planet.
“Tolerance” is the organized hatred of white male heterosexual Christians who are not leftists.
And it didn’t occur to you to actually look over any of the things they are teaching your kid?
I’m assuming you kid has school books? Did you read them yourself?
No trying to be sarcastic, but how can parents be outraged about what’s happening in schools when they don’t take the time to learn what your kids are being taught.

Decision time? I can sympathize.
You won’t beat your public school system in time to help your kids.
Private home or move are your choices.
BEST IDEA.
Help him write a paper on free speech and tolerance of views that fly in the face of Government. Explain the Declaration of Independence as the source of the founding of America.
Public school should always be the LAST choice, not the first
They don’t teach your child, they indoctrinate him.
Private school is no better. My kids still have to take standardized tests from the government. My 9 year could not wait to tell me that one question was:
“What happens when taxes are cut?” and the answers were:
“Schools lose funding”
“Police and Fire Departments lose funding”
something else he did not remember
and “All of the above”
He told me if the government takes less of our money we can go to McDonalds or the video game store and buy things with OUR money. I was sooooo proud.
dont consider it... DO IT. You can teach your own kid in a shorter amount of time. Better and have fun. we have home schooled our kids all the way through. They start at 9 done by noon. of course they are constantly learning so they are really not out of school... shhh dont tell them.
