It’s out of date to teach basic literacy? You wouldn’t even be able to use the device you are currently on, read or write the words without public education.
If parts of it are out dated that’s not a failure of public education, least of all a reason to be “anti-public education.” It’s reason to do everything it takes to ensure our institutions continue to lead the world in free thought and innovation.
But in order to do that, it has to be universally publicly accessible.
I don't think anyone is against basic literacy. But, like thunderheads gathering on the horizon, the anger is building as we are forced to pay for public schools that turn our children against us, against their race and cultural heritage, and ultimately even against themselves. And they are run by ideologues who are almost totally unaccountable to us and absolutely and implacably committed to their subversive agenda. It is intolerable. I will not be sending my children to these brainwashing pens.
I literally didn’t understand any of this.
What?
I'll ultra-simplify it for you: Public schools have become anti-White and extremely multicultural and leftist in recent decades. Millions upon millions of people dislike that -- passionately. The politicized garbage in the classroom which the left considers mandatory, we consider intolerable. There is no healing this divide.
What?
I don’t know where you live… but.. no… none of these things happen in public schools. That is not how they operate. That is not what they are teaching… and it’s definitely not who they are run by.
They very much are publicly accountable and transparent (hint: that’s what “public” means).
Private schools? Home schooling? In those settings there is no transparency. No standards. A child can very much be taught any of those things.
But no…. This fever-dream you’ve invented is not an institution that operates in the US, or any western nation that I am aware of.
Look, I've been in the classrooms and the libraries and looked at the books and talked to the teachers. There isn't one I've found who doesn't revere Martin Luther King and teach that he was a hero. There isn't a one who questions the Establishment narrative of the World Wars. There isn't a one who doesn't support "brave" transsexuals and homosexuals and teach that these are valid "choices" for students. There isn't one who doesn't think the Old America was "racist" and "sexist" and "homophobic" and therefore profoundly bad. There isn't a one who doesn't teach that making our society multiracial is basically a moral imperative. To you, perhaps, all these things are normal and desirable, and only the evil, the wildly eccentric, or the woefully ignorant could possibly question them. If so, there is the unbridgeable divide right there. We, and we are millions, will not send our children to such schools.
… wow… that went from MAGA crazy to Proud Boy Tiki Torch March faster than Tesla on fire…
This is the point in the conversation where I bow out with a simple: “well… I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion.”
"Public" does not mean transparency here. It means that it is paid for by our taxes.
"Private" means it's paid for entirely voluntarily by people who find value in it. Transparency might vary, but no one forces you to pay for it.
You sound like one of those teachers insisting on 6yr olds choosing their own pronouns the first day of school. It would be very worried if I was forced to send my kids to your class every day. Thank god we still have other choices in this country.
If your children are against you… I can pretty much guarantee the root cause is not public education….
Or if it really is public education that turned them against you… You might want to do more self-reflection, than projection.
But as for the rest of your comment, all I can say is….
…. What?
