Ann Marie’s post “Teachers Who Sexualize Children in New Hampshire Schools,” which talked about how teachers are sexualizing their students, had a comment by BMW111 that sums up the feeling by many of we Parents and the state of Government Education:
Every one of your posts is pushing us closer and closer to going full homeschooling. It’s disgusting what is happening in our schools. Now that parents are discovering what has been going on in our schools that has been purposely hidden from parents, we are enraged and disgusted. And the real problem here is, even after a year or more of parents aggressively fighting back against this assault on our children, NOTHING has changed. The system (school boards, teachers’ unions, regulatory environment) is biased against parents. The only way to make lasting change is to bankrupt the schools by removing all children, then either starting over with a new regime or completely abandoning public education.
Good summarization: “biased against parents.” The more unpalatable the “Professionals” make it, the more “fringe” they go from where Parents have their norms, the more that the people paying their salaries are going to say “no more.”
What Government schoolers STILL haven’t realized that while Progressives are still trying to centralize everything into as high of the Power structure they can (e.g., from families to neighborhood associations, from neighborhoods to City Hall, from City Hall to the State House, and then from State House to Washington DC.
And THEN from elected Representatives to where the real Power exists – to unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats.
But the rest of society is becoming decentralized, pushing Power back down to the individual – and there is that disconnect that Government isn’t keeping up with the culture. Instead, it is fighting like crazy to take over that “resistant Culture” and remold it, like all Power Hungry Totalitarians do, into their image.
