"Parental Rights" Started On The Christian Fringe, Now It's The GOP's Winning Issue

"Parents don't have the right to control the policies of public schools, and if they did it would be chaos," Arkles continued. "On any number of topics, from what to teach to disciplinary rules, in a whole bunch of different areas, what one set of parents thinks is best for their kids is different than what other parents would see the school do."

"There's this fundamental assertion from homeschooling parents that no one is better equipped to shape their child's education. No one knows them better. No one knows their needs better," said Robert Kunzman, an education professor at Indiana University and author of the 2009 book "Write These Laws on Your Children: Inside the World of Conservative Christian Homeschooling." "And if there's one thing that homeschoolers will go to the mat on, almost in unison, it's that stance. So it doesn't surprise me that Republicans have found this to be a potent anti-institutional, anti-expertise angle to take, particularly given the sense of aggrieved minority status that some are trying to inculcate."

This is why China will continue eating our lunch. Their children will be learning advanced science, while our kids will be learning just enough to be good employees for their Chinese employers.

Who is it that's really selling out the country to China again?

Silly leftists. Our children do NOT belong to the government.

Imagine being so far left, so totalitarian, so fascist you believe parents insisting they know best for their kids is a bad thing.

First, there is nothing more totalitarian the religious orthodoxy.

Second. Imagine being so fucking stupid, that you don't even know how fucking stupid you are, and your children end up be just as stupid as you, through no fault of their own.

Unless you plan on holding your own children prisoner in their own homes. They are going out into the real world. That would not be the world you live in. Then they're going to realize how far they are behind, and can't compete for the jobs that require the level of education necessary, in companies that require tolerance of all of it's employees.

The country has gone down this road before. The right lost big on it last time. They will again.

There is a reason parents with some common sense (and the means) send their kids to private schools.

Yeah, awesome. Kids belong to the government, and the government has kids inform on the parents.

We had a whole war about that bullshit. Your side lost.

The irony is dripping.

They're already there after going to your failed gubmint schools....Your "product" sucks on toast, and the best you arrogant, smug assholes can do is blame the customer.

Um, democrats are the ones declaring things like advanced classes are racists, and teaching kids cultural division, and drag queen story hour...

Parents absiolutely have the right to control what their own children learn. YOU have no right to shove your deviancies and socialism down the throats of our kids, and you have no right to be teaching young bys to question why they have a dinger... YOU and your ilk are nothing buy poisionous subversives. There really needs to be a middle finger icon for OPs like the one above.

Sounds like fighting words. Let's go to war to decide who's more . . . right. I mean, let's just get it over with and stop mincing words.

For the last 30 years I've watched the product of our public schools come into the workforce. I don't need to go inside, the product sucks. Its not all the kids fault, our school curriculums and the lack of parenting and the lack of teaching any self respect, self control or even responsibility shows it all. Then add in the refusal to to teach our kids how to write, do math or even construct proper sentences into a coherent paragragh and I know our public school systems need to be taken apart and rebuilt.

There is a reason school boards are elected, it is to give parents control of how their schools are run. It used to be a system that worked.

 

[Unkotare]

..... I don't need to go inside, t....

In other words, you are talking out your ass.
