At The Core Of America’s Problems….

Thanks so much for sharing, I always appreciate opinions unsupported by facts and links - your singular forte.

Your rank ignorance and gross party man hackery are all the evidence anyone needs.

4.”Home-schooling in the US has been legal in all 50 states since 1993, but it’s only recently seen a surge in popularity. The National Center for Education Statistics estimates that home-schooled children have doubled over the last two decades, from 850,000 in 1999 to 1.8 million in recent years, or roughly one in every 33 kids. The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) claims it’s even higher, with 2.2 million US children currently getting home-schooled, and that number is rising between 5 and 15 percent on average every year.

In New York, which has about 3.3 million school-aged kids, 91,500 were home-schooled during the 2017-18 school year, up from 89,000 the previous year."

Millions of parents responding to Liberal attempts at indoctrination.

And growing every year.

The sad thing is, is that liberalism has successfully run the conservatives out of their communities, public school system, and it's attempting to run it out of the public square altogether. So I'll ask my conservative brethren and sisters now, are you tired of running yet ???

5. “Religious fundamentalists once made up the majority of home-schoolers, but not anymore. The reasons parents are seeking nontraditional education options are now far more eclectic. Today, parents who opt for home-schooling are concerned about everything from school shootings to bullying to academic standards.

They’re rejecting the one-size-fits-all model and according to a 2018 PDK/Gallup poll, 55 percent of adults think today’s kids are getting a far worse education than they had in their youth. (It’s the biggest drop since the poll started asking the question in 1973.)”

And that’s a fact…..we had the best education system in the world before Liberals took charge.


"Why Can’t American Students Compete?

...32 percent of U.S. public and private-school students in the class of 2011 are deemed proficient in mathematics, placing the United States 32nd among the 65 nations that participated in the latest international tests administered by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The United States ranks between Portugal and Italy and far behind South Korea, Finland, Canada, and the Netherlands, to say nothing of the city of Shanghai, with its 75 percent proficiency rate."

It might be 'educational' to look at the high school in Florida....


"At least 17 people were killed Wednesday in a high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, the Broward County Sheriff's office said...."
Sheriff: At least 17 dead in shooting at Florida high school

Liberals, the Obama administration,imposed regulations on schools that forbid police being called when felonious students run amuck.
As a result of the school's acquiescence to the Liberal protocol, Nikolas Cruz had no police record, and was able to pass a background check and purchase the gun that killed 17 innocents.
One more tragedy at the intersection of Liberalism and education.

7. This is the sort of ‘teaching’ our children are exposed to in Liberal public schools:

“Third-Grade Teacher Has Students Write ‘Get Well’ Cards To Cop Killer Mumia Abu-Jamal

A third-grade teacher at a public school in New Jersey is under fire after she encouraged her students to write letters to notorious convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, who recently fell ill in prison.

Marylin Zuniga teaches language arts and social studies at Forest Street School in Orange, N.J.”
Third-Grade Teacher Has Students Write ‘Get Well’ Cards To Cop Killer Mumia Abu-Jamal

8. And, as a fascist suggested earlier in the thread, the Left wants to outlaw any who don’t toe the indoctrination Liberal line:

“Eric Holder: Banning Homeschooling Doesn’t Violate Fundamental Rights” Eric Holder: Banning Homeschooling Doesn’t Violate Fundamental Rights | Caffeinated Thoughts





If Liberals fear home schooling….it must be the right path for real Americans.

Easily fixed. End the government monopoly on affordable education.

It is the people’s monopoly on affordable education

The People suck at running the market for affordable education.

Once again, we see valuing intention over results. Sad.

We the people control the education system at the grassroots level

A free public school education is imperative to the success of our nation. Turning our public schools over to the private sector will have the same results as making our prisons a profit enterprise

Are you crazy or not reading what I just wrote ?? I said put the curriculum on the ballot for the parents to decide. Garantee you that the things that have been pushed on their children will change in a big way. If the so called grass roots is being easily controlled by the leftist, then that needs to change big time by having a nation wide vote on the subject. Then enforce the vote by government backing that vote up.

1. The curriculum is adopted and put into place by publicly elected officials in every states (including red ones).

2. It's "guarantee" this is the second or third time I've seen you spell a basic word incorrectly...perhaps you shouldn't be the one to come up with the solution to anything if you can't even spell such a simple word.

If you think I'm going to worry about what Google spell correct is doing to me, then you must be on crack. If you're interpretation skills are dependent upon every word being spelled perfectly, then you came to the wrong place. Now respond to the points being made, and quit straining at a knat while swallowing a camel.

1. Do you work at Parkland???

No?

Then, you don't know what you're talking about.



2. But, at issue in this post is the manipulation of the education system to provide, not education…or even equality….but a special class of Americans ready and proven to do harm to the others.

Under the racist administration of Obama, the Department of Justice's civil rights division and the Department of Education's office for civil rights “informed school officials that they would be investigating more than disciplinary policies applied variably across racial lines. Now, uniformly constructed and applied disciplinary policies would be viewed as noncompliant if they produce disparate results.

One doesn't need to be a constitutional or civil rights law scholar to see this as a problem.

And, in fact, when current Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was assistant secretary for civil rights at the Department of Education in 1981, his guidelines were quite clear that discrimination constituted different rules or different application of those rules between races -- not uniform rules and applications that produce disparate results."
School disciplinary policies must be local




3. Let’s do that again: Obama’s regime warned schools that they would be investigated by the Justice Department, and lose federal funds, if they disciplined black and Hispanic students at a higher rate than white or Asian.

No matter the reasons, the infractions, issues, actions or behavior of the individuals in question.


Only ethnicity or skin color mattered.



4. Obama and the Liberals, never able to see beyond skin color, demanded that minority students no longer be disciplined…..


“….new discipline guidelines strongly recommending that the nation's schools use law enforcement measures and out-of-school suspensions as a last resort. Announced jointly by Duncan and then-Attorney General Eric Holder, the new procedures came as more than friendly guidance from Uncle Sam – they also came with threats of federal investigations and defunding for districts that refused to fully comply.”
https://www.realclearinvestigations...cipline_policy_and_the_parkland_shooting.html




“…in just the first year after the Obama administration issued its anti-discipline edict, public schools failed to expel more than 30,000 students who physically attacked teachers or staff across the country. Previously, “if you hit a teach, you’re gone,” he said, but that is no longer the case.”
Ibid.



"...physically attacked teachers..."

This is the sort of nation Democrats/Liberals plan for you.

You are soooooo lucky to have slithered back.....as I have soooo much to teach you.

For example......there is no such thing as a 'white supremacist'...


It is one of those terms, like 'boogey man' that is used to fuel other immature minds.




Let's prove it together:
. There are no white supremacists. The term is a created 'term of art' to camouflage the real villains, the Democrats.

Neither being white, nor using the term 'white supremacists,' I looked up the term.

"a person who believes that the white race is inherently superior to other races and that white people should have control over people of other races"
Definition of WHITE SUPREMACIST


I really can't get too excited, nor see it as a pejorative, if any individual of any race sees his/her group as the very best, i.e., superior to any other group.
The proof that it is a made-up smear, a chimera....the usual strategy of the Left, is the secondary phrase in the definition..."and that white people should have control over people of other races"

I took your advice and looked at liberal run cities and found that they`re on the top of the Best Cities to Live In lists. LOL! Thanks.

Let's check:


1. DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP!

Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn’t elected
a Republican mayor since 1961;

Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn’t elected one since 1954;

Cincinnati, OH (3rd)… since 1984;

Cleveland, OH (4th)… since 1989;

Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican Mayor; (*Miami currently has a Republican Mayor (Suarez)

St. Louis, MO (6th)…. since 1949;

El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican Mayor;

Milwaukee, WI (8th)… since 1908;

Philadelphia, PA (9th)… since 1952;

Newark, NJ (10th)… since 1907.

Top 10 Poorest Cities run by Democrats


2. Some stats from the US Census Bureau in a American Community survey, August 2007:
Things may actually be worse in these towns now.

City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level (pop. 250,000+)

Detroit , MI 32.5%
Buffalo , NY 29.9%
Cincinnati , OH 27.8%
Cleveland , OH 27.0%
Miami , FL 26.9%
St. Louis , MO 26.8%
El Paso , TX 26.4%
Milwaukee , WI 26.2%
Philadelphia , PA 25.1%
Newark , NJ 24.2%

The cities with populations over 200,000 ranked as the most dangerous are:

1. Detroit, MI - Mayor Mike Duggan - DEMOCRAT

2. Oakland, CA - Mayor Jean Quan - DEMOCRAT

3. Memphis, TN - Mayor A C Wharton - DEMOCRAT

4. St. Louis, MO - Mayor Francis G. Slay - DEMOCRAT

5. Cleveland, OH - Mayor Frank G. Jackson - DEMOCRAT

6. Baltimore, MD - Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake - DEMOCRAT

7. Milwaukee, WI - Mayor Tom Barrett - DEMOCRAT

8. Birmingham, AL - Mayor William A. Bell - DEMOCRAT

9. Newark, NJ - Mayor Ras Baraka - DEMOCRAT

10. Kansas City, MO - Mayor Sly James - Independent (but probably a DEMOCRAT) Democrats Run The Highest Crime Cities in America





I'll help you pack, you moron.

Cities where they actually made things, where millions of jobs have disappeared due to technology, are more difficult to manage than retirement cities in Fla. and Arizona where people go to die. The fact remains that the most livable cities in the U.S. are run by Democrats but if you need to go into certain areas to buy your heroin you`ll be at risk because of the GOP`s guns for all policies. I live right outside of the country`s second most livable city and anyone with a measurable IQ knows enough to stay out of certain neighborhoods.

Just look at liberal run cities... Nough said.

It might be 'educational' to look at the high school in Florida....


"At least 17 people were killed Wednesday in a high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, the Broward County Sheriff's office said...."
Sheriff: At least 17 dead in shooting at Florida high school

Liberals, the Obama administration,imposed regulations on schools that forbid police being called when felonious students run amuck.
As a result of the school's acquiescence to the Liberal protocol, Nikolas Cruz had no police record, and was able to pass a background check and purchase the gun that killed 17 innocents.
One more tragedy at the intersection of Liberalism and education.

Teachers and staff can absolutely call the police/emergency personnel in the state of Florida. I just did so last week when there was an emergency in my classroom.

1. Do you work at Parkland???

No?

Then, you don't know what you're talking about.



2. But, at issue in this post is the manipulation of the education system to provide, not education…or even equality….but a special class of Americans ready and proven to do harm to the others.

Under the racist administration of Obama, the Department of Justice's civil rights division and the Department of Education's office for civil rights “informed school officials that they would be investigating more than disciplinary policies applied variably across racial lines. Now, uniformly constructed and applied disciplinary policies would be viewed as noncompliant if they produce disparate results.

One doesn't need to be a constitutional or civil rights law scholar to see this as a problem.

And, in fact, when current Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was assistant secretary for civil rights at the Department of Education in 1981, his guidelines were quite clear that discrimination constituted different rules or different application of those rules between races -- not uniform rules and applications that produce disparate results."
School disciplinary policies must be local




3. Let’s do that again: Obama’s regime warned schools that they would be investigated by the Justice Department, and lose federal funds, if they disciplined black and Hispanic students at a higher rate than white or Asian.

No matter the reasons, the infractions, issues, actions or behavior of the individuals in question.


Only ethnicity or skin color mattered.



4. Obama and the Liberals, never able to see beyond skin color, demanded that minority students no longer be disciplined…..


“….new discipline guidelines strongly recommending that the nation's schools use law enforcement measures and out-of-school suspensions as a last resort. Announced jointly by Duncan and then-Attorney General Eric Holder, the new procedures came as more than friendly guidance from Uncle Sam – they also came with threats of federal investigations and defunding for districts that refused to fully comply.”
https://www.realclearinvestigations...cipline_policy_and_the_parkland_shooting.html




“…in just the first year after the Obama administration issued its anti-discipline edict, public schools failed to expel more than 30,000 students who physically attacked teachers or staff across the country. Previously, “if you hit a teach, you’re gone,” he said, but that is no longer the case.”
Ibid.



"...physically attacked teachers..."

This is the sort of nation Democrats/Liberals plan for you.






Pick up a newspaper once in a while, you dunce.

It`s always a hoot when a lifelong white supremacist calls calls Obama a racist.

You are soooooo lucky to have slithered back.....as I have soooo much to teach you.

For example......there is no such thing as a 'white supremacist'...


It is one of those terms, like 'boogey man' that is used to fuel other immature minds.




Let's prove it together:
. There are no white supremacists. The term is a created 'term of art' to camouflage the real villains, the Democrats.

Neither being white, nor using the term 'white supremacists,' I looked up the term.

"a person who believes that the white race is inherently superior to other races and that white people should have control over people of other races"
Definition of WHITE SUPREMACIST


I really can't get too excited, nor see it as a pejorative, if any individual of any race sees his/her group as the very best, i.e., superior to any other group.
The proof that it is a made-up smear, a chimera....the usual strategy of the Left, is the secondary phrase in the definition..."and that white people should have control over people of other races"


Clearly this is totally bogus.

Or....let's see some examples of any American leaders, white, black, yellow....who demand "control over people of other races"

1. I'm not white, but certainly superior to you.

2. Nazis were socialists, and stood for the very same programs as Liberals/Democrats.

The Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt (NSV), meaning "National Socialist People's Welfare", was a social welfare organization during the Third Reich. The NSV was established in 1933,.... The NSV became established as the single Nazi Party welfare organ in May 1933.[1] .... the programme was massively expanded, so that the régime deemed it worthy to be called the "greatest social institution in the world." One method of expansion was to absorb, or in NSDAP parlance coordinate, already existing but non-Nazi charity organizations. NSV was the second largest Nazi group organization by 1939, second only to the German Labor Front.

The National Socialists provided a plethora of social welfare programs under the Nazi concept of Volksgemeinschaft which promoted the collectivity of a “people’s community” where citizens would sacrifice themselves for the greater good. The NSV operated “8,000 day-nurseries” by 1939, and funded holiday homes for mothers, distributed additional food for large families, and was involved with a “wide variety of other facilities.”[4]

The Nazi social welfare provisions included old age insurance, rent supplements, unemployment and disability benefits, old-age homes, interest-free loans for married couples, along with healthcare insurance, which was not decreed mandatory until 1941[5] One of the NSV branches, the Office of Institutional and Special Welfare, was responsible “for travellers’ aid at railway stations; relief for ex-convicts; ‘support’ for re-migrants from abroad; assistance for the physically disabled, hard-of-hearing, deaf, mute, and blind; relief for the elderly, homeless and alcoholics; and the fight against illicit drugs and epidemics.”

These social welfare programs represented a Hitlerian endeavor to lift the community above the individual while promoting the wellbeing of all bona fide citizens. As Hitler told a reporter in 1934, he was determined to give Germans “the highest possible standard of living.” National Socialist People's Welfare - Wikipedia


Sooo.....you've been suckered into believing the Nazis were any different from what you vote for....even though a Democrat opened the only concentration camps in America.

Gads, you're a dunce, huh?

….is the institution owned and operated by Liberalism, Incorporated.

The public school system.




1.According to the Atlantic mag article, political correctness is held, pretty much, in disrepute by a majority of the citizenry.

“Americans Strongly Dislike PC Culture”
Large Majorities Dislike Political Correctness - The Atlantic


May be a sign that the excesses of Liberalism have poisoned that well, and America may very well be off to better, less divisive times.




2. A corollary to that view is found in this article, with a similar view of the public schools

This article from the NYPost may just be one more of the sign of the death throes of Leftism.

“Parents are giving up on public schools to home-school their kids” https://nypost.com/2018/10/12/paren...c-schools-in-droves-to-homeschool-their-kids/



“Taty Sena of Park … home-schools her 6-year-old daughter.

…she lives in an area “with one of the best public schools in the city, PS 321,” she says. “And the vice principal of that school is one of my best friends, who is a great defender of children and their right for a childhood, so that was not a concern at all.”

…she says she no longer has faith in an “unnatural system created during the industrialization era.”…




Homeschooling….the answer to both the indoctrination instituted by the public schools, and the lack of education therein.

"Homeschooling….the answer to both the indoctrination instituted by the public schools, and the lack of education therein."


homeschooling (as reports and studies seem to be indicating) works GREAT for SOME families but MOST homeschooling is failing because it is being utilized by evangelical christians who INDOCTRINATE and BRAINWASH their children with their dangerous religious beliefs while, at the same time, giving them a poor and inadequate education.

it isn't white christian conservative home schooled children winning those math contests or spelling B's....
