Yeah, that's next. Some jerk principal in the Midwest painted over a Minuteman's musket in a school mural. He said, "Guns don't belong in school." This woman is against high-stakes testing so you could say she has her own agenda, but then again why should the Regents corrupt authors' passages? On a bright note, a couple of private schools in NY state recently refused to let their students take the Regents. A Luthern school says it interferes with their students' community service. Apparently, the students go to Mexico to build houses. Taking the NY State Regents exam would put private schools on the level of NY public schools.

No. Private schools could just fill in the dots without reading the questions and still excell over the public school kids. They're just plain dumber than a box of rocks.

Most private and homeschools do not use state tests. How could they answer a question that has been changed to PC lingo and paganism?
Or a question like this:
Mother Earth is:
1)Our world Goddess.
2) Living in a tree.
3) The source of all love.
4)All of the above.

Of course a normal child could not answer a question like this. The correct answer "None of the above" is not there!
