Presenting one’s conservative case to a teacher, principal or superintendent does little more than get your kid or kids out of otherwise required programs in the school.

I see. The 3rd grade teacher had to re-teach the 2nd amendment to her entire class. The district utilized its automated phone system to notify every student household that viewing of the president's address would now be optional.

Yes, clearly I had wasted my time. Clearly I cannot make a difference, and should give up immediately, as you suggest.

You might want to see if your homeshooling network has anyone familiar with the concept of courage. You've got defeatism covered.

Why don’t you go back to my original post? I said “if I had it to do over ... I would homeschool.” As it is, my kids went thru public school.

I was the most visible front and center person for one high school, one middle school and 6 elementary schools, representing thousands of families, before the school board and our local governing board. I served on the Superintendent’s Advisory Council and countless other boards/committees, etc. in one of the largest public school districts in the country. I don’t have enough time or interest to recount all the changes I effected in our schools, often at enormous personal sacrifice.

So big whoop dee doo that you got your 3rd grade program changed. I am really, really impressed.
