It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is collectivist.

I disagree. If 80% or 90% of kids will be in the public schools, writing off those kids is a dangerous choice that can lead to a generation voting for the next Obama. Many teachers are conservative, and if more conservatives would go into the schools and share traditional values with the kids, those children would have a better chance in life too. Homeschooling conservatives who do not yet have children or whose children are grown could do this without putting their own children in the public schools. Our own kids are not enough to save America as a free country.

Parents who plan to or have homeschooled their kids would not be welcome in the public schools. Heck, they’d never be allowed to graduate from college with a teaching degree.

Control of the public schools began with seizing control of the university education departments. (Take a look at the courses offered by your local college of education.)

As a conservative public school teacher I thank you.
