Oh I’m quite familiar. Too familiar maybe.
As I mentioned in my earlier posts, the public denigration of FReepers in the name of said “cause” is what I take umbrage with.
You want to debate the “merits” of a public school, fine, do so. But don’t think for one second that any of us are required to sit here and accept the types of abuse tossed about the anti-public school crowd.
You want us to modify our behavior based on your worldview, deny us our freedoms by shaming us into believing that we’re dooming our children to a life of hell. That we will be responsible for the potential demise of America because we didn’t take our kids out of public school.
Calling someone evil and a socialist who hates their children because their kids go to a public school is not only arrogant, it’s downright stupid. Fails at every level of so called discourse or debate. Because, although there are problems at every level in the public school system, it doesn’t make the entire system evil. People are what make the system, and they can be dealt with.
To accuse FReepers of the above without knowing a damn thing about them or, as in my case on previous threads, absolutely dismissing our experiences or constantly moving the bar all in the name of “winning” the debate by dragging the person down to their level is a tactic perfected by one of the students of socialism himself.
It’s nanny statism, only difference is that it’s being practiced from the opposite end of the pendulum.
So, how did trying to reform the Anglian Church from the inside workout, eh? Know your history on that?”
You can take umbridge all you want, take it all personal all you want, but that does not change the fact that the system is socialist, and supporting it is socialist, and there is no middle ground.
It is amazing how people will howl at Ozero, yet will allow the very same policies invade your own children’s minds. The public school system IS nanny state writ large, and trying to pretend it is not leads to moral confusion that does not help this country stay free.
Just amazing.
Here are a few questions, then decide if our socialist K-12 schools are evil.
** Do you know of any government owned and run K-12 school that is not godless in its religious worldview or that is not a socialist entitlement?
** How can that be “good”?
