The rural public schools still have a chance. The urban/suburban public schools are cesspools of pop culture indoctrination, not education.
I live in a rural community in one of the reddest counties in the nation. ALL of the government schools in my county are utterly and completely GODLESS in their worldview! All of the government schools in my county are a socialist entitlement.
1) The children **will** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate in the classroom. How could be otherwise? Seriously. This is a serious question. How could it be otherwise?
2) The children risk learning to be comfortable with socialism. They are taught by their socialist teachers that they have a **right** to wealth of others just so they can have tuition free schooling! Well! Gee! If government and its threat of police action can take money from a neighbor for tuition-free socialist schooling, why not use that power for **lots** of socialist yummies? ( Franklin D. Roosevelt was an accident. He was the result of one to three generations of children being made to feel comfortable with socialism in socialist government schools!)
3)All of the government schools in my county establish the religious worldview of godless secular humanism and force citizens ( under the threat of armed police action) to pay for this religious abomination!
4) There are no private schools in my county because our county and state are running a price-fixed, monopoly, cartel! If private CEOs tried this they would soon be in prison! The only other option is homeschooling. If this is not possible, the child and parents will face armed police action if they refuse to cooperate with the government schools functionaries.
5) Finally.... Our socialist schools are the single largest employer in the county. No other business comes even close in the number of employees, payroll, or capital investment in buildings. These armies of socialist workers go to the polls and every time the vote to make sure their sinecures remain intact.
Government schools in my county are disgusting. ( And...The they look like minimum security prisons, too!)
