Very true. It was like pulling teeth for my brother to get an excused absence for his son from the indoctrination centers. On the same subject, he said they asked him four different times when his son moved to live with him if he had any special education needs. Extra money to be had there also. Same can also be said about reduced cost lunches (which for some unfathomable reason - you don't even have to prove a need to qualify at his district). Thankfully though, noone abuses it. /sarc

As an aside, he graduated this year and is confortably right of center. Most of his friends are too, I think the continuous liberal drumbeat in the public school may be beginning to backfire (we can hope).

I think the best way to have conservative children is to be the parent that is consistent and conservative in their own life. As they grow up then they finally see what it means to be an American.

For all those folks who want a government hand out, I encourage them to go to Mexico where that has worked so well
