You don't have to send your kids to the government schools.
And you don't have to astroturf parents into the district who don't even have any kids in the school they're protesting at.
And you don't have to harass the kids outside the school.
(Oh but wait, MAGA bullies will do that for you)
And by all means, if you're running for office and sending your kids to a private school where masks are required while campaigning against your constuents' kids wearing them, expect to look like a hypocrite.

Herr Merrick Garland of the fascist Biden AG enforcement agency is now focusing FBI attention on American parents who oppose the racist democrat Critical Race Theory nonsense dogma. The FBI is devoting millions of dollars in assets and attention to spying on and jailing innocent Americans while totally ignoring the dozens of American schoolchildren abandoned by Joe Biden behind enemy lines in Afghanistan with no plan of rescue. Garland should be impeached and jailed for calling innocent Americans terrorists and for ignoring the crimes of those who are abusing American children at home and abroad.
So, you're willing to make all kinds of excuses for totalitarianism.
As far as you're concerned anyone who objects to anything shoved down the throats of their kids is at fault. And here you claim to support the poor. Do you have any idea as to what a private education costs? I had to pay for my own tuition back in the late 60s and early 70s as my parents forced me to attend that school system under penalty of being kicked out of the house without the ability to fully support myself . l paid $300 a month back then. It's now over $1000 a month to get a kid into the same system. And how many poor people have a thousand a month, per child, to spend when they have always relied on the public school system to educate their kids? You expect someone who makes $15-20/hour, and less, to pay that kind of tuition.
You show your heartlessness every time you turn around.

Haven't you ever heard of homeschooling?
And I notice you don't seem to care about astroturfing MAGAs bullying kids.

If you click on the link you can go to the video and watch it for yourself.
It's horrible!
Hundreds of MAGA bullies were shrieking at the children and threatening them with their signs!
The children were cowering in fear!
And the MAGA bullies were clearly shouting MAGA slogans and encouraging the children to join insurrections at the US Capitol!
Hundreds of them were chanting "Let's Go Brandon!"

So in your mind all poor people are capable of teaching and have the time to teach their own kids? Really? One of the reasons poor people are poor in the first place is because of their lack of education.
Your reasoning just keeps on getting weaker all the time. And MAGA bullying? What a joke. The bullying kids receive from leftist teachers and the kids of leftists is far more destructive as they are the majority in the leftist school system.
Democrats are disgusting and Garland is among the worst. Of course he is going to demonize and go after Americans who believe in God and freedom, not only because he has family interests driving him there for financial reasons, but also because he still burns at being rejected for a seat on the SCOTUS.

Except that it's extremely difficult to homeschool them these days.
Single parents don't have the time to homeschool (having a spouse would solve this, however, hence why I recommend all single parents to marry asap), and private schools are generally more expensive (in terms of money) than public schools, and in a two-income based economy (which is what our economy today has become due to socialist policies such as public education), it's just not possible for single parents to homeschool AND provide a good environment for children to grow up in.
Not to mention the fact that the regulations on homeschooling are inconsistent and vary by state:
| Is homeschooling regulated? Homeschooling is legal in all 50 states, but each state has different homeschool laws that regulate how parents can homeschool their children. Some states have very restrictive homeschooling rules, such as subject, reporting, and testing requirements, while others are more relaxed. New York, for example, requires parents to send in a notice of intent to homeschool, quarterly reports, and an annual assessment of their child’s progress. Alaska, on the other hand, has no requirements to notify the state, seek approval, test, or file forms. Most states have laws that are somewhere in the middle of these two extremes. As noted above, some states require a parent to notify the school district of their intent to homeschool their child. Some states make you fill out that notification every year, while others require no notice at all. Twenty-four states require parents to give their homeschooled children annual assessments to ensure they are keeping up with their academics. Eleven states (Washington, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania) require parents to meet certain educational requirements, like having a high school diploma, to homeschool their children. Some states have subject and instruction requirements. Colorado, for example, requires homeschooled students to learn communication skills of reading, writing, and speaking, mathematics, history, civics, literature, science, and the US Constitution. Utah has no subject requirements at all. Find out your state’s homeschool laws here. Which states have the strictest homeschool laws? Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont have the most restrictive home school laws. Which states have the most relaxed homeschool laws? Alaska, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Texas have the least amount of homeschool regulations. |
Homeschool laws: Which states are supporting parental choice?
Not all students thrive in traditional school settings, that’s why it’s important a state’s homeschool laws help rather than hinder parents.

The highlighted portions above, especially requiring that parents make reports to the government regarding homeschooling, or that the parents need a high school diploma in order to homeschool their own children, are NOT conducive to homeschooling.
In other words, while homeschooling is indeed the best option for your child, the government makes it difficult unnecessarily for parents to homeschool their kids
As for private schooling, apart from the generally higher cost of sending one's child to a private school, most of them follow similar curricula to what the government schools teach, and are not guaranteed to teach the same things that the parents want their children to learn.
Our church first formed its Christian School more than 50 years ago. My wife has been teaching there for more than 45 years. I agree that Christians should try to put their kids in good Christian schools to avoid the secular indoctrination perpetrated on public schoolchildren.

Nah. There are currently homeschooling families in my extended family right now, and through them I'm acquainted with many other homeschooling families. I homeschooled for a couple years myself, through a religious program and through a public homeschooling charter.
I and others here in CA haven't encountered this.
No, the government doesn't make it unnecessarily difficult. They do have an interest in helping a child get the best education possible from someone who's not actually a certificated teacher, so they offer textbooks, recommendations, and regular visits with a district teacher. When I used the charter home school system, the teacher visited once a month. But the state doesn't insist on a public charter school, parents are free to go with a religious homeschool curriculum.
As for private school, it depends on what the parents are looking for. In my personal experience, Catholic school became too liberal for some Catholics, so they turned to private Christian schools, which ranged from poor to mediocre. But I still remember the Bible song!

Your emotion is getting the best of you. When you start telling me what I'm thinking (and you always get it wrong) there's no point in trying to reason with you.
Democrats have been turning blacks against whites and republicans for decades as a political tool used to generate wins in elections. Critical race theory is the product of that democrat deception foisted upon the ignorant, the unlearned, the immoral, the greedy, and the hateful.
Critical race theory is a ‘frame’ for ‘our work,’ Fairfax County Public Schools told teachers
A slide presentation this summer instructed social studies teachers in Fairfax County Public Schools that “critical race theory is a frame” for their work, even though officials in Virginia’s largest school system say the controversial pedagogy is not a part of the curriculum.
A slide presentation this summer instructed social studies teachers in Fairfax County Public Schools that “critical race theory is a frame” for their work, even though officials in Virginia’s largest school system say the pedagogy is not a part of the curriculum.
The slide presentation, titled “Renew, Reflect, Re-imagine: Enacting a Critical Lens for Student Empowerment,” was presented via Zoom in August during an in-service day for K-12 social studies teachers in Fairfax County. The presentation is available on YouTube, and The Washington Times has received a digital copy of it.
In the 2-hour, 45-minute presentation, critical race theory is listed as one of the “community engagement and communications” tools teachers should understand in the upcoming school year. Alicia Hunter, the K-12 social studies coordinator for Fairfax County Public Schools, leads the discussion.

You must've sat and listened to that entire 2:44:57 video, right? So which part of it is the part that bothers you, specifically?

You may or may not know this but you can adjust your viewing speed up and down on YouTube. I find 2x is the limit for me for comprehension, unless it's somebody like Ben Shapiro. That would cut this down to about 82 minutes, and a perfect match for a tank of gas in the leaf blower.
eta: this one doesn't start until 52 minutes in, and most of it can be fast-forwarded through - typical poorly prepared presentation talking.
I am grieved by many ideas promoted by leftists that are not right, but I am not losing sleep over the nonsense.

Look at all you white Christian conservatives afraid of American History.
My mom grew up living 5 blocks from Little Rock High school. Her sister was a student in that school in 1957 when the democrats tried to stop blacks from enrolling there and my aunt was close friends with one of the black girls who enrolled. Democrats were furious. My grandfather was a life-long democrat with a high-paying government job connected with the democrat party. I got saved as a teenager and when I began voting I was already a Christian opposed to what the democrat party stood for. That is American history.
