Why 178 Public Educators in Atlanta SHOULD BE in prison…

The majority of the nation doesn’t know that investigators have turned up a hatched-scheme in which Union bosses coordinated efforts with public education officials. Further that 44 of 56 school districts in the Atlanta Public Schools system strategically convinced Superintendents, Principals and teachers to cheat–primarily by going back and erasing answers on tests and replacing them with correct ones–in order to have a higher means score for the No Child Left Behind funding qualifications.

The evidence is overwhelming.

2100 Interviews… 178 educators involved… 38 principals involved… 80 confessions to the schemes… 800,000 documents as evidence…

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

I wrote a vanity essay on the myth of the “good” government teacher. How many times have we heard a Freeper write that their child's teacher was “good”. Nonsense! ALL government teachers willing accept money to uphold, establish, and support godless government schools that are socialist-funded, compulsory, and run by the collectivist voting mob! Merely by attending children learn to be comfortable with socialism, collectivism, the government collectivist mob.

Anyway...I value your opinion.

Here is a link to my vanity essay, “The Mythical ‘Good’ Government Teacher Lives in the Land of Unicorns”:

One more thing:

Any so-called conservative who is still using the collectivist government schools is a poser.

The only “good” government school teachers are the ones telling parents to get their children out ;-)

So...you don’t believe that some teachers might be trying to change the liberal overbalance from the inside?

The US Attorney General, Eric Holder, will not prosecute these criminals. They are "his" people. Google the names with APS (Atlanta Public Schools) added and see what the perps look like.

They need to be hit hard by RICO, pay massive fines, and be imprisoned

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

There are two aspects that must be addressed. They are the godlessness, and the fundamental collectivist foundation of all government schooling.

First the godless problem:

By **law** government schools are godless. Any teacher who attempts to teach from a God-centered point of view in any effective manner is breaking the law. The children will conclude that Christians are law breakers and the teacher will soon be fired.

If a Christian teacher attempts to sneak in a little Christian belief, enough so that he won't lose his job, he is teaching the children that Christians are sneaky.

Finally,...Anything that a Christian teacher might sneak in would need to be very generic and lukewarm. It would need to be merely to accommodate the many denominations represented by the children sitting in the class. What does Christ do with the lukewarm? He spits them out of His mouth!

The Christian teacher also risks teaching the children that Christians are hypocrites for taking money from a fundamentally godless school system that stands in compete opposition to the core belief of Christianity ( that God lives).

Now, to address the socialist-funded, compulsory, and collectivist foundation of **all** government schools:

Merely by attending children learn to be comfortable with government force taking money from their neighbor for a tuition-free service. They learn to passively submit to the government's collectivist voting mob.

Again if the teacher were in any manner effective in combating this he would already be fired. If he attempting to sneak in conservative principles he is teaching the children that conservatives are sneaky and hypocrites, as well.

While the conservative may touch the minds and hearts of a handful of children, teachers ( as a group) are fundamental to the very existence of collectivist government schooling. By joining the ranks of government teachers, the conservative is **willingly** agreeing to uphold, establish, and support these schools. Merely by attending children learn to be comfortable with socialism, collectivism, and government compulsion.

Conclusion: Any Christian and/or conservative who believes they can make a serious difference by teaching in the government schools is a Useful Idiot. It is like fighting a raging, godless, collectivist forest fire with a water pistol.

Again: Every bit of the above GENERALLY applies to the godless and collectivist nature of ALL government schooling. My comments are NOT NOT NOT directed at any specific individual here on Free Republic.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
