That being said, does anyone have any information pertaining to the following little snippet? I'd like to learn more.
In the fall of 1999, Ridgewood, N.J., students, aged 11 to 18, were required to answer questions about their own drug use, sexual life, and any illegal activity in which they had been involved. The 156-question survey asked students to name how many times they had tried to kill themselves, used contraception, or made themselves throw up after eating. Parents took the school system to court and, after a two-year battle, won a victory for the First, Fifth, Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments.
That was just one. The rest still give the questionare plus more the parents don't know about.
It's part of their "life file" for the Goals 2000 "changing society through the minds of the children" program.
Unless children can prove they "think correctly", they won't get their "certificate of merit."
Those who can read and "think correctly" get their diploma, for now. That too shall pass. One of the goals of the 2000 program is create "entire life files" to be used as resumes. Business will go to the schools for employees, rather than the employees going to businesses. That's why Homeschool Legal Defence had to fight the public "School to Work" programs. It left out private and homeschoolers out of the work force.
The schools are trying become the "unemployment agencies" for the country.
Get the kids as soon as they're born into a public daycare, keep them away from their parents influence as much as possible (before school, after school, free summer school, free food - the village!) and employ them until they die. It's the deal the NEA made with the Marxist, and it gives the NEA power over lives from cradle to grave.
When people say "indoctrination of little robots", they're not joking. The NEA is creating the worker bees, a slave type work force, for labor and the pleasure of the elite - too programmed and uneducated to disobey them.
(When the acedemia claims "tolerance" and lowering the age of consent, it's not for the sake of the children.)
Remember Hillary Health Care? Goals 2000 is similar.
My wife does most of it, however, just to let nay Sayers know, I as a military officer who can be deployed a lot did take a 30 day period off from work and did ALL the teaching and home schooling. I found it to be the best month with my kids I have ever had.
No increased costs in clothing,
No transportation expenses except for what we WANT to do,
No indoctrination of our children by the state of everything we object to on moral, religious or personal grounds,
No problems with our kids coming home with bad habits or ideas from other children whose parents don't care and whom the state will do nothing about,
No problems with adverse socialization as we are involved with over 100 other kids through LEAH (Loving Education At Home),
Total flexibility in teaching and schedule,
Better focus for the children,
One on one instruction without interruption,
3 to 4 times the amount of education in less than half the time,
And the list goes on and on and on and on and on.
Home schooling shows the current system how poor it really is. Here in the police state of New York, they spend over 10,000 per student on average and yet they CAN'T produce students like my wife and I can. And we do it for less than $850.00. NEA hates us, many teachers hate us, liberals hate us, NY State Ed Dept hates us, Washington Dept of Ed hates us...........Fine. Let them. At least my children can read 2-3 grades ahead of any of their peers, actually know more about George Washington than most Elementary teachers, have already read the Declaration of Independence and recited much of it, Have read the Amendments to the Constitutions, have learned about the Federalist Papers, Know about many ancient cultures and religions, sing in a choir, and while the state says that my 2nd child should only be learning how to count this year he is already doing math that state sponsored 3rd graders seem to have a tough time with.
All this and they have more time for Baseball, Church groups, field trips, Air Shows, than any of their peers.
I'll never let the state have the most precious part of my life, my children. They do not deserve them, cannot help them and seem only able to warp them. I will, however, provide the state with intelligent, critical thinking, informed citizens..................the politicians most feared adversary.
