Yes, my kids were done with public schools just after kindergarten. This all started when we lost control of our local schools many years ago, remember? NRA Life Endowment member Tri-State Gun collectors Life Member | |||

Oh, come on. ... stop making sense! That would require that we admit that our 100 year flirtation with socialism was/is a failure. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

I'll admit I was poking the bear a little bit. Your ideas are wonderful, but in the current political climate, do you really see that kind of change ever becoming a reality? The left is fully entrenched in our education system from pre-school through college and the unions and media will throw their full weight into keeping it that way. Sounds like doom and gloom on my part I know, but I just don't see it happening in this or the next generation. I hope I'm wrong, believe me.

Just think how much trouble she would be in if she actually went through w/ the shooting. A high-cap stick like that, who knows how much carnage she could have wreaked.  Ironically, if she hit someone w/ it, she would probably be in less trouble. She'll know better to just pistol whip them next time. | |||

I think there is more truth to that than many would like to admit. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

Yes. As JALLEN put it: "Close the public schools. Lay off the teachers. Sell the properties back onto the tax rolls. Provide a voucher to the responsible adult for each school age kid, to be spent as that person sees fit." I don't see this happening, but it is the only real solution. After the turmoil of the '60s, leftists moved en masse into education at all levels. And into the "media." The main vessels of thought control. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

In 2000, my son was 5 years old, and this was G.W.Bush's idea when he was running for president. This was the number one reason why I voted for him. The Left insists that the voucher idea is racist. Yet, 1.) In polls during 2000, a considerable majority of Black folks said they wanted the voucher program, and 2.) The voucher program was tried as an experiment and proved to be overwhelmingly successful. The only reason the Left is against it is because they need things to be just the way they are right now - education as a possible by-product, while Leftist indoctrination is the only essential component of our public school system. We pay a lot in school taxes just so that the Leftists can corrupt our children.  If a parent really loves his child, he'll make the sacrifice to put him through a private school. | |||

Or home school.... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Home schooling would seem to require that there be an "at home" parent--how many such homes now exist? flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||
