While I am a fan of private and homeschooling. I also recognize that we cannot expect a our current population as torn down as it is by the costs of Government taxation and regulation both direct & indirect to be able to afford to educate themselves by these standards.
Today unlike 50 years ago a family must have both parents working just to support themselves and assuming they even have two parents which is increasingly uncommon among our people.
While we should encourage and set a goal towards the privatization of the school system, we have not that power in most all of our states including many of the most conservative states and our people have not the means to support that anyway under current burdens.
We must therefore expend all efforts to take over the public schools in the states and communities in which we have power. To force them to teach about real freedom from John Loche to Thomas Jefferson. Our children MUST know what it is to be free or they will have no hope of preserving that freedom.
I hear where you are coming from Monoprise however, if we truly believe our children are the most precious then we have to sacrifice our cable, vacation, new car, nights out... to keep them and their minds out of government hands.
How can anyone expect this to turn around and let our youth know what the founders did what they did if we keep giving them to the Stasi unionized government schools?
Government schools are insidious and will do anything possible to implement the communist manifesto even if some of the teachers are clueless as to the fact they are doing it.
If you cannot afford the time to home school or cannot afford private school, then do everything humanly possible to find a more conservative Charter School in your area and defund the public monopoly on your children’s minds.
Any other action which leaves them in public schools just hastens our slide into central planning, government control and ultimately communism.
