We do not need the teachers, administrators, and local school boards advancing their social and political agenda. Students need an objective environment, which is conducive to learning. Let the parents be responsible for sexual education, sexuality, and other social issues. Let’s return honor and pride to our schools.

Or maybe we need more conservatives in the schools?

We can surrender them to the liberals or we can take them back.

I came upon an idea yesterday that people should advance to their local school boards. I belive it would have a profound effect on what teachers think they can get away with in the class room.

Mandate that ALL work done by students be submitted to parents at the end of each quarter/semester. This would include any petitions signed, etc. This would give parents the following:
1. Parents get to see what questions their children are supposed to answer 'correctly', and expose the bias that their children are forced to regurgitate to get good grades.
2. Parents would be able to see that a 23% on a history test can be a B+ or an A!
3. Parents would be able to read the liberal drivel that their children write in their papers after being indoctrinated into the sick, dimented philosophy that their professors force on them on a daily basis.

The liberals would argue that this would have a chilling effect on the "personal development" of students political/philosophical development. The counter is that a school does not have the right to impose the direction of a child's development in our schools -- that is a job for parents and our greater culture. If their is a 'chilling' effect, then obviously, the students are not comfortable with their 'own' views... Otherwise they would be happy to confront their parents with their ideas, rather than adopting them to become 'accepted' by their peers and professors.
