I think parents who have spent the last year homeschooling their children have gained an accurate understanding of just what their children are being taught (CRT, etc.), and those who can will either continue homeschooling or send their children to private schools.
On Chicago talk radio, there are commercials for private schools that are “half price.” It appears to be a booming business.

I look at my life experience. I am now 57 years old. In grade K-6 I lived in the south side of Chicago. Neighborhood was deteriorating year by year being taken over by gangs and such. I attended a strict Lutheran private school and got a real education. We were paddled on the ass (girls too) when we mis-behaved. Whites, blacks, Hispanics - we all got along pretty well. Oh yeah, we also attended church together. In 1977, my parents decided to move to western suburbs and get us kids away from the growing threat of violence in Chicago.
Starting in 7th grade, I attended a public school for the first time in the safety of suburbia. What an eye opening experience. Most of the teachers (mostly women) could not control the students. There was chaos in some of the classrooms. Some of the teachers wound up crying from the students non-stop mis-behaving. The trash students knew exactly which class rooms they could “get rowdy” in. A couple of the teachers (older men) did not put up with the bullshit and their classes were disciplined, just like my old Chicago Lutheran school. I saw this same pattern repeat in the remaining 8-12 years in public schooling.
Long story made short. No disciple. Weak teachers. No consequences for bad behavior. No flunking grades. Good schools exist in bad neighborhoods. Shitty schools exist in “good” neighborhoods. I think 98% of the public school teachers today are democrat women. They are in my neighborhood destroying the current generation of children. I don’t have the answers but I KNOW it is NOT “free” public education.
