I believe the government’s near-monopoly on K-12 education (and the corresponding indoctrination in the religion of atheism) is a major cause of the ungodly behavior we are seeing all across the USA.
Dinesh D’Souza’s recent article explains in great detail how the schools and universities were systematically turned into indoctrination centers. https://www.theepochtimes.com/the-philosopher-of-antifa_3380743.html
If we want to help restore civility to our streets, we need to break the government stranglehold on our children’s education.
Please consider homeschooling or sending your kids to a charter school.
Homeschooling.
I have written two posts on the subject of homeschooling.
In my 4/21/20 post titled Homeschool Your Kids? The Left Wants to Stop You, I sounded the alarm about efforts to strip parents of their God-given rights to direct their children’s education.
In my 4/28/20 post, Looking for Homeschooling Resources? Here Are Some, I shared some resources from people I trust to help parents find material that will help them educate their children in ways that honor God.
Many of you homeschooled your kids to some extent after schools were closed last Spring. It is no longer a great mystery to you. Please help other parents by sharing your success stories as well as the things you will do differently going forward.
Charter Schools.
If homeschooling is a bridge too far for you, please consider sending your kids to a charter school.
Providentially (from my viewpoint), Thomas Sowell has just released a book in defense of charter schools It is titled “Charter Schools and Their Enemies”.
Here’s a link to his 6/27/20 opinion piece in the New York Post, Charter Schools are the Best Way to Wipe out Educational Disparity: https://nypost.com/2020/06/27/charter-schools-are-the-best-way-to-wipe-out-educational-disparity/
Here are excerpts from the article:
Depending on who you read or listen to, charter schools are either a striking success or a “failed and damaging experiment” — or even just “fads.”
Such conflicting opinions have led to bitter controversies that have raged for years. But my new book, “Charter Schools and Their Enemies,” features hard facts about educational outcomes in more than a hundred individually identified New York City schools.
No wonder most critics of charter schools, and defenders of traditional public schools, want to argue on the basis of rhetoric.
They don’t want to argue on the basis of facts about test results.
One common example of misleading rhetoric is an often-repeated statement that — nationwide — charter schools “as a whole” do not perform any better than traditional public schools “as a whole.”
Please read his article.
Conclusions.
Please protect your children, and help others protect their children.
Please homeschool.
Please choose a charter school instead of the local public school.
Please also consider donating money to charter schools that serve the poor. You will help others rescue their kids from those public schools that are often low-performing as well as indoctrination centers.
Thank you!
