Finally, the best way to fight the government schools is to work to shut them down.

That's never going to happen. Face it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I grew up in a time when we thought the Berlin Wall would never collapse. It did though. Please consider the following:

* All that is needed is for enough parents to remove their children. Private school enrollment is growing, and homeschooling continues its 15% to 7% increase **every** year. Do the math.

* Also,,,please remember that those parents who are privately are politically very savvy. Homeschoolers, especially, are very, very highly networked.

* Then add to the mix the THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of children desperately languishing on waiting lists for charters. Do you really think that legislators will be deaf to their cries. I don't think so.

* Do you honestly think that having the homosexual agenda pushed in the government schools will help increase enrollment? I don't think so.

* We now have the Internet, talk radio, and Fox. Government school outrages and abuses are now getting the publicity that they deserve.

* Finally, homosexuals are moving into government teaching and administration. Homosexuals hire homosexuals. Parents will take note of this.

Conclusion: I am very hopeful. The cracks already exist in the government school citadel foundation, and the cracks widen every year.

If people take their kids out of public schools and put them in private school or home school, the public schools will have to shut down. In some states, there are counties that don't have public schools. If people there can't afford private schooling the county gives them a voucher to attend a private school.
