"Solution: Remove your child from government school."

That's not a solution. That only helps a little, as in decreasing the brainwashing of ONE child and reducing the empire-building resources of the current oligschoolopolists $30 or so a day in Average Daily Attendance monies.

We the People OWN those schools. We are PAYING EMPLOYEES to operate them CONSTITUTIONALLY. And we are going to take our turf BACK.

Working together, people can make a difference. I do it in my own classroom. I absolutely love the parents this year as I have every year. My little first graders are SO excited about learning and progressing rapidly too. We need to get the petty politics (in my state that means both sides) out.

<> ( Doug) So....hm?....How can it be constitutional to herd unwilling children from homes with unwilling parents into buildings for 6 or 7 hours a day? If they refuse, police with guns on the hip ( real bullets in those guns) and social workers threatening foster care or juvenile prison will FORCE attendance. Don't we have a thirteenth Amendment to protect us from this type of government imprisonment? Then once in the so-called "school" the children are forbidden to assemble freely with people of their or their parent's choosing, the child can not express his most deeply held religious and cultural beliefs, nor can he freely publish them. On the other hand, if First Amendment Rights to freely speak, freely publish, freely express religious belief, or free assembly were allowed a few things would happen: 1) Chaos 2) The rights of the other children not to be indoctrinated in another's religion would be violated. Then there is the sticky problem of a curriculum and school policies that do not establish the moral and religious worldview of some while trampling that of others. This is impossible to do since education of the young is the transfer of moral, and cultural belief than can never be neutral in its political, cultural, and religious consequences. This is axiomatic. Gee! Isn't there a clause in the First Amendment that says government must NOT be in the ESTABLISHMENT business? Solution: Remove your child from government school today. Work to establish a universal system of private education for every child in the nation. The following is a good essay explaining why government schools are not constitutional on either a state or federal level: http://www.newswithviews.com/Stuter/stuter9.htm
