My wife and I just started sending our three-year-old to a Montessori pre-school outside Boston. I knew they were a bit demofascist from the get-go, but I didn’t give it much thought beyond their celebration of U.N. Day on October 24th. So my daughter came home from school last Thursday and said that they were talking about the election. Then she blurted out, “I like Barack Obama!” This is a girl who just turned three, but she got his name perfect, as if she’d been practicing it. I asked her who told her that and she said, “Jen,” which is her teacher. The next day, I told the story to one of the other parents who was sporting a McCuda sticker on the back of her SUV. She told me her kid came home and said the same thing. Rather than give the teacher an earful about it, where she could take it out on our kid, my wife and I decided that we’ll just have to counterprogram for the next 20 years, including college. We’ll do that over the dinner table. Because nothing can beat the power of the dinner table. Not even The Pretender.
I’m sure you mean the best for your child,
but you don’t really think that 1/2 hour a night at the dinner table is going to “counterprogram” 14000 seat-hours in a public/secular humanist liberal school, do you?
You mean you're going to continue PAYING this school to indoctrinate your daughter? You know, it is not required to send a 3 yr old to school?
I don't mean to be rude, but come on....
