Thanks for the links. If I remember correctly, this San Juan school district which was threatening the mother for truancy also had a child come to school with a gun and threaten to blow the place up. Must be one helluva place to go to school. From what the mother says, it sounds like Lord of the Flies Middle School.

Actually, when I read the article, I e-mailed the principal of this "school" and told her what I thought about her and her school.

Check out this link to find out why public schools will never be any better than they are:

"That they all killed at school is a fact worth pondering. The explanation for all these shootings might very well be found in the destruction of the minds and souls of America's young people by an education establishment bent on using our children as guinea pigs for their bizarre experiments in schooling. The fact of the matter is that most of our public schools today are intellectual and moral wastelands."

I'd say that about sums it up.

INterestingly enough ... I'm not an Ayn Rand fan because of her immoral personal behavior and ardent atheism. It's curious that this particular organization would have concern for morality. Maybe the see some flaws with Ayn Rands philosophy.

Oops! Forgot to say thanks - for a good read. This doesn't happen too often for me.
