I suppose that if we transported these people to a different time and place they’d be merrily dressing up in blackface and singing “Mammy” and praises of fried chicken and watermelon.
The “public school” is the Bus Ministry of the State Church of Humanism.
The “public school”, including the “charter 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 collectivist.
It is hypocritical to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally disagree. Children do not trust hypocrites, so this will undermine your own authority, let alone influence, with your children.
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.
To understand the content and compass of modern education, see ...

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 better than you can.
Nobody knows your children better than you do.
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.
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.
And DO NOT TAKE GOVERNMENT “EDUCATION” MONEY!
He that pays the piper calls the tune, and that’s especially true for any government entitlement program.
We've had our struggles living up to our end of the deal, we are what we are, and we spilled a lot of blood getting back to that deal. On the other hand, we also were chosen to save the world from evil, to save God's chosen from that evil and to restore Israel. That counts for something.
Unfortunately, since then, we've been infected with some of that evil we failed to exterminate, some of that original apple, perhaps, that has caused us to forget and we just went with it.
We broke a seal (and the deal, imho) when we legalized sacrificing our most innocent on the alter of convenience to the god of...well, isn't it sorta obvious which god?
Anyway, back to what I was saying about repeating history and this not being the history we want to repeat...I've been re-reading the chapters on how this road ends and this is a bad place to be.
Freedom of speech is one thing, reaction to what is expressed is another. We need to save each other, but is a comedy like this the way to do it? I haven't seen it, so I don't know, but...
Luke: "I have a very bad feeling about this."
Obi-Wan: "Turn The ship around."
Han: "Yeah, I think your right. Full reverse! Chewie, lock in the auxiliary power."
Chewbacca: "(Grrs)"
Han: "Chewie, lock in the auxiliary power."
Chewbacca: "(Grrs)"
Luke: "Why are we still moving towards it?"
Chewbacca: "(Grrs)" Han: "We're caught in a tractor beam! It's pulling us in!"
Luke: "But there's gotta be something you can do!"
Too sadly true.
