I do realize that some children manage to go through the public school system with the ability to think cognitively and have good character, but they are the exception. Generally speaking, public schools are leftist indoctrination centers. I saw how grade school text books became pure unadulterated propaganda when I started reading them during my years of home schooling my own and other peoples’ kids. I quit using any text books and just used library books. I didn't have money for any good home school curricula. And Gabz - I realize that you are at loggerheads with those who criticize public schools, but surely you must agree that most public schools are not very good. Maybe the schools in your area are much better than average. But generally speaking, they are not good and kids going through them are terribly short changed and badly influenced. I know a mother who raised 8 children and much of the time had to send them to public school, against her own desires, due to personal and family difficulties. Almost all her children have turned out very well. So it can be done. But it takes extra effort by the parents as well as the luck of having a school which is not a bad as most.
Yuri Besmenov called it “demoralization”.
Our nation is now soooooo demoralized that more than 50% of the nation's voters could not see that having a natural born citizen was a constitutional requirement and **important** for the security of our nation ( especially our soldiers at war.)
Ask the average person on the street what Article 2, Section 1, is and you will get the “Deer in the Headlights” look.
I have never said any different.
I live in the 6th poorest county in Virginia, in part, because the school system here is far superior to even the wealthiest school district in Delaware. The schools in southern Delaware are so bad I wouldn't even consider having put our daughter in the local Catholic school - and I spent 12 years in Catholic schools.
