You advocate continuing to let the inmates run the asylum. Continuing to use 'schools' as warehouses for feral hominids is insane. Privatize the schools, expel the feral hominids, treat the students like the growing citizens of a free country that they are.
The PTA, nor the NEA, nor the School Board have any interest in doing these things. They derive their power from the current abominable situation.
I did not advocate anything, and certainly not the present condition of our schools. But in their present condition, I am not of a mind to have my kid going to school with other kids being allowed to carry a knife with them. I'm happy for you if your kids go to a school without the daily challenge of gangs.
