Public Education Cannot be Culturally Neutral...

...so the question for concerned parents is, how can I control the "culture" that pervades my child's education?

Can I even know what my kids are being taught - not the subject matter, but the underlying culture that is implicit in the teaching? Will a kid even bring home information about controversial matters like illegal immigration, gender confusion, sexual mores, climate change, patriotism (yes, in today's world that is controversial), and "normality." Kids are like sponges; they take these things in without questioning them, especially in the early grades, and before the parents know what happened, their kids are spouting Leftist nonsense as though it were fact.

It would seem that the only solution (other than private or parochial school, or moving), is to aggressively instill the values of the parents and encourage the kids to speak out when they see a conflict between what they are taught at home and what goes on in the classroom. In that way, the parents can at least hope to control the kids' absorption of Leftist nonsense.

Teachers' unions have done more to harm American yoot than any outside force could ever hope to accomplish. They should be outlawed in every state (but not the District of Columbia - they can go straight to hell).

Wow, how naive, get involved, get informed, teach your children what is important to your family unit and how to deal with such problems they encounter.

Yes, trigger the FBI agents into action

Fuck the FBI, take control of what is yours

Fuck the FBI? But I hardly know them.

Maybe after having dinner and a movie, but even then I"m still kind of old fashioned in that regard.

School choice is the way to go. Why would anyone oppose it? Are there parents saying: “Please don’t give me options. I want my some self-serving bureaucrats and activists to make all the decisions for my children’s future!”

Good public schools have nothing to fear from school choice.

The educational system would benefit if there was more competition and accountability.

No matter where they attend there is a cultural overtone.

Parents can't compete with the authority of the state regarding education.

The 'mark of the beast' in one's forehead is what one believes. Soon, if one doesn't have the right beliefs and opinions they won't have a job.

We are in a full on five alarm fire in public education and it aint' the woke garbage. Our students are violent, hopeless and out of control, but sure, keep yammering about the gender stuff, which is already on its way out (thank God)

You keep crying about violence, but you work with small children.

LOOK AT THE DATA

Across the country, roughly 10% of students attend a private school while American public school teachers enroll their children at nearly twice that rate, 21.5%. In some cities, it is nearly four times the average rate.

So quit your cushy job and teach. Help fix the problem rather than whine and cry about it. Education should be culturally neutral. It's a schools job to educate. I don't want patriotic little robots.

Did leave me job, am teaching. Education should NEVER be culturally neutral, that leads to loss of the distinctions ugly/beautiful, evil/good/ and true/false...and the result is pushy little know-nothings like you in the name of freedom telling the whole world what they ought to be doing. Funny if you think about it. IF you think
