that was my thinking ... like middle class families want their kids indoctrinated day in and day out by and about homosexuals. The parents, as singles, may have been all for the homosexual agenda, but once kids come along, they tend to change their thinking.

5000 kids 17 and under, school aged kids, around here represents two full high schools. That really is a lot of kids to lose. I’m sure, tho, that the teachers unions in SF will find a way to keep every last teacher, and administrator, fully employed.

Not to mention that SF probably has more pedophiles per square mile than any other city in the USA. SF would be a very bad choice to raise a family.

You must not have children! A child brutally killed is the worst fate possible. It would be a curse far worse than living in any city, regardless of how sinful and abhorrent that city may be. Shame on you.

A little much, wouldn’t you say?

Why not just say evacuate the children and be done with it?

Sorry, but it’s not about gay people, folks. I work in SF and live elsewhere. One problem is that the city insists on bussing kids from middle class neighborhoods to schools in the projects. Parents won’t put up with it and leave. Also, a “starter home” here runs about $800,000. Most families can’t afford that. Anyone who lives in the Bay Area can see where SF’s middle class has gone: to Alameda and Contra Costa counties, on the other side of the East Bay hills. Those areas are full of families with kids and have good schools. More evidence? SF’s population is almost 50% white, but the percentage of white school kids is only 9%. The white population is mostly older people and single adults. Those with kids leave.

Once I saw the pix of that alley festival or whatever it is, I decided I would drive through but never go there again, no matter how pretty it is.

What sane parent really wants to raise their children in San FranFreakshow?

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

I’d like to see an end to the expression, “Good Schools”.

Why?

Reason: **None** of the following is **good**!

**ALL** government schools in this nation are godless in their worldview. **ALL** government schools teach children to think and reason godlessly. The children must do this simply to cooperate in the classroom and do assignments. At best, they learn to compartmentalize their faith.

**ALL** government schools are socialist-modeled, socialist-funded, collectivist managed by the voting mob ( school boards), and are compulsory. Simply by attending children learn to be comfortable with taking money from their neighbors, government compulsion, and having their lives ( and even their thoughts) controlled by the voting mob.

**None** of the above is **good**!

You forgot:
9. Institute a school voucher program.

I think this one thing would bring back people more than the other 8.

Are SF’s abortion statistics available? Curious to compare live births to abortions in mass and by ethic groups. Can anyone show us the facts? trends?

I lived in Pacific Heights for 6 months in 1979. My fiance (Mr. Prince of Space) and I quickly decided it was no place to raise a family....and we high-tailed it back to SoCal to be closer to our families. And like I said, this was in 1979. I imagine it's much worse now.

But I’ll bet the school budget hasn’t been revised downward to reflect reality.

I think it can be summarized as simply saying that San Francisco has a “toxic culture”, that is “unwholesome” to children.

Importantly, with this suggestion most people would think of crime, pollution, poverty, squalor, and things of that sort. And those can be problematic, in some places. But people can overcome and adapt to many such things, with their own initiative and internal fortitude.

San Francisco generally doesn’t suffer too much from those things, but its problems are deeper and more insidious. And they are far more difficult to overcome.

‘Tis education forms the common mind,
Just as the twig is bent, the tree’s inclined.
— Alexander Pope, 1734

Compare a child raised in San Francisco with a normal, healthy child raised elsewhere. Can the San Francisco child claim normality? Is their version of the world truthful, or is it filled with the distorted and even bizarre zeitgeist of strange and perversely idealistic people?

Are they educated to be educated, or as witnesses to the soapbox agendas of people filled to the brim with the compulsion to preach their whims?

A child could be raised in a zoo, to have neighbors better than those found in San Francisco.

It sounds like the Darwin theory was right after all!

You mean they're not having children? Who would have guessed that? And normal people don't want to raise their children in the SF atmosphere? Again, I'm surprised.
