Get Your Children Out Of Public Schools For Their Protection

Hi

Yeh, It's the guy who posts all the links.
Dumbing down our schools is Communist Goal #17
And they have done it.
http://www.anxietycenter.com/subversion.htm

The knowledge of the people is what makes a society what it is.
Detracting from that knowledge damages our entire society by making us less affluent.

People are what they know. Each thing you learn becomes a part of you and makes you proportionately more than you were before.
Your possibilities in life are expanded by what you learn and limited by what you do not know.
The purpose of Communist Goal #17 is to cheat every person in our society of the opportunity to learn, thereby depriving you and your children of an opportunity you otherwise would have to become all you could have been if given an honest education.
The lifestyle of each American has been worsened to some extent by the Communists among us.

You might find these links handy in the future.
I expect controversy over this issue.

Thanks

We really do need a grass roots effort to take back our schools and communities. For the past 3 decades, the U.S. Governments meddling in local affairs has destroyed our children to a great degree. Especially since the U.S. Dept. of Education was established in 1978. It has been on a sled ride down a very slippery slope and has done so much damage to our children now, that it will takes years to undo. The Columbine's and Virginia Tech's are examples of some of the emotional/psychological damage that occurs in public schools. And it is getting worse. I encorage everybody who can to take their kids out of public schools and homeschool if they cannot afford a private school. It is a form of Government mandated and sanctioned child abuse to send your child to a public school.

Interesting

I think you either love home schooling or you hate it. I'm the latter but of course your right to home school must be defended as long as your children meet the critera on tests which the vast majority of home schoolers do. With doing that, I'm sure you like many including plenty in my family make sure your children socialize with others which is paramount to a child's growth.

Socializing is Important, but How?

Yes, I am a proponent of homeschooling if a parent can possibly do it, in order that they can control what their children are exposed to. Much of what children are exposed to the public education system of today, I have to sadly say are things that no very young children should be exposed to and subjected to. No point in going to particulars, as the public school agenda has been hijacked by a Godless Liberalism today and the emotional, physical, psychological, intellectual and spiritual abuse that children are exposed to in the public schools is very damaging to young and developing minds.

As for the socialization aspect of homeschooling. First, they have their family, and those family values are the first socialization is the most critical. As for some of the societal socialization that children are bombarded with on TV, the Movies, Music, Computers, and schools, the children are much better withoutit, as all sorts of perversions and values are promoted to go against decency and against a moral families values. So, remember, not all socialization is good socialization. Thanks for your comment Christopher.

Abolish U.S. Dept. of Education & Others

Most people today just take it as a given that this mess is unsolvable, short of homeschooling, which I am A Great Proponent for, for those who can do it, and have the requisite knowledge and skills to do so. Unfortunately, there are too many who do not possess these abilities and qualities nor can afford to stay home.

In lieu of that, Parents and Citizens, generally, should Demand An End and Total Dissolution of the U.S. Department of Education, a huge Wasteful Bureaucracy from which Spills This Liberal Agenda and Dumbing Down System to begin with. Then, Abolish State Departments of Education. Then, reduce the sized and waste of Your Local School Boards of Education. Then, Build your Elementary and Middle Schools in the neighborhoods and communities where the children live and play, not to exceed 400 students in each school and no classroom sizes more than 20 students per 1 teacher. This is the start and this can all be done with the existing monies after you abolish the Bureaucracy which is where most of Education Dollars are now spent, along with Contracts to Buy Useless Computers and other Media in Elementary and Middle Schools. Computers are tools, not teaching aids. Kids learn best and learn things that last, such as Math Skills by Doing Math. Learn Writing by Writing. Learn Reading By Reading. Get Back To Basics. Get back To Rational Thinking.

Without the Destruction Of the Bureaucracy that now Mandates all The Attrocities that are taking place, and being backed by Liberal Legislators, and the NEA, we will never turn this country around. End of Conversation. It is simply cut and dry.
