Parents who have their kids enrolled in the public school system need to re evaluate what kind of 'education' their kids are getting. If they can't afford or don't want to enroll in private schools, independent study or home schooling are easy options.
" . . . independent study or home schooling are easy options."
No they're not. My mother started homeschooling my siblings years ago in order to let them skip ahead a year, but because she's so busy working, they're left on their own to study, which means they get away with learning next to nothing. I worry about whether they'll do well in high school, or be accepted into a good college.
And even if parents do take this option, what about all the kids whose parents are less concerned about their welfare? Just because their parents let the state teach them, does that mean they should be brainwashed by the liberals. I've attended American public schools since second grade, and believe me, they do indoctrinate you with certain philosophical ideas (the Civil Rights movement gets almost as much attention as the rest of history combined, tolerance and open-mindedness are preached constantly, etc.).
I also worry that alternate types of education will be viewed with suspicion and contempt, especially as the difference between them and public schools increases.
On a happier note, each year my high school allows Aim For Success assemblies to be held, which promote abstinence until marriage as a safer, healthier lifestyle.
