HOMESCHOOL YOUR CHILD
From the article:
“The solution is to embrace the foundational American value: liberty. Instead of requiring people to fund government institutions, let money follow children to schools or other educational arrangements their families choose. Instead of forcing a war of all against all, let those who want critical race theory select schools that teach it, others pick schools that do not. Let those who want schools with mask mandates choose them, others select schools where parents decide if their children wear masks. Let people peacefully coexist.”
That is pretty naïve thinking, IMO. Unless we have any chances to overcome election fraud in the future, there is no way that school choice will be permitted.
The most important thing that must happen is eliminating Jimmy Carter’s Department of Education.
As a nation we managed to survive all of his horrible policies - except for the DOE which is still destroying our country today
Dear school board members:
If you can’t take the heat, then quit.
I am amazed at how many people in this country fall completely apart when they get yelled at.
When I was a Second Lieutenant, I got yelled at two or three times a day.
I learned to not get yelled at twice for the same mistake.
I think this country could use some more yelling.
I’d love to see some of these tender hearts after The Iceman or No-Slack or Deadeye lit into them.
bkmk
they absolutely MUST listen to every speaker, EVERY ONE, that wants their say.
“That is pretty naïve thinking, IMO. Unless we have any chances to overcome election fraud in the future, there is no way that school choice will be permitted.”
Of late I’ve come to realize that the people that determine a country’s or any organization’s policies are the ACTIVISTS, the community agitators, ie, the ones willing to cause constant pain, suffering and discomfort to the leaders of those organizations until they kowtow to their demands.
The left has been extremely good at using this tactic. They have an army of rabid activists ready to pounce on any politician or CEO if they stray from their agenda.
Our side has none of that, and that is why we’re getting culturally slaughtered.
This rebellion against CRT is the first sign of activism by our side. But the other side controls all the law enforcement apparatus and, as we’re seeing, they are ordering them to come after us.
The question now is do we placidly knuckle under or do we take to the streets and start causing pain and suffering to the powers that be?
“HOMESCHOOL YOUR CHILD”
My parents were probably typical. My father had unrealistic expectations that I would know anything he knew.
Him: “Tie your shoes.”
Me: “I don’t know how.”
Him: “Tie. Your. Shoes.”
Me: “How?”
Him: “Tieyourdamnedshoes, NOW!”
The dynamics between children and their parents is, in my opinion, not set up for education. Also, it’s really hard for a kid to realize that learning the formulae for the hypotenuse is going to come in handy. (I’m 67 and have still never used it.) So, adding the burden of education at the expected levels onto parents who are emotionally and probably intellectually unsuited for it is a recipe for an uneducated child. Also, with both parents working, when are they going to find the time?
My feeling is, we should get back to neighborhood schools with no more than, say a hundred students, that also have the power to permanently expel problem children. Another part is to hand all education decisions to a locally elected board whose children are also in school. Get the government at all levels out of it. If the government wants to set a standard that’s fine. So long as it doesn’t include knowing all 55 of the new genders and their sexual preferences.
I call BS on that.
They are over reacting just trying to make the parents look like the bad guys. They are too used to running roughshod over parents wishes and can’t stand being challenged.
They’re just mini tin pot dictators and if they had a higher political office would be the whitmers, cuomo, and newsomes of the world.
No, your parents were not typical. I never knew any parents who treated their kids like that.
Millions of parents homeschool every year and do a very successful job at it.
Before public school as they stand today were established, parents were the primary educators of children and throughout history have produced some very brilliant people.
Funny how in my suburban district they aren't mailing ballots to all the retired fixed income folks, they have to go to the High School, the ONE location to vote down budgets or elect boards.
Hand them your address and suggest they bring a lawyer and a truckload of cash.
“Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly are all protected.”
“I could use a extra 100M”
Here’s how to solve bitter school board battles without sending in the FBI …Uh, yeah. Merrick Garland is the one you have to convince not to do that, and he listens to nobody with an opposing opinion. He respects the big fist and nothing else, to paraphrase Solzhenitsyn . . .
Yeah right... I think we all know by now that there is NO way any free thinking American can coexist with the left...
With the commies it's "whole hog or nothing." :(
Not at all. Most fathers are kind and understanding. Your father was a dick.
First solution is to not put your kids in the public school system.
Second solution is to change the school board through the election process. Start local and then go for state seats.
And, get those homeschoolers to attend such school board meetings to testify. They still pay taxes, they have a right to attend. At this moment there is still free speech, so they have a right to speak.
Get in their faces. Cause chaos.
Tar&feathers is next.
