Dear Friends,
It seems to me, anyone who still has their children in the public schools, has to be strongly considering taking them out and home schooling, sending them to a private school, else joining a neighborhood co-op. With the revelations that the schools have been exposing kindergartners to pornography, manipulating children into self harm and inculcating stupidity as the highest virtue, the value of a public education is plummeting faster than a rock in a septic tank. The results speak for themselves. In the 1960s the US was at the top of every metric for education. Now we are in the middle of the pack. Ask a high school graduate about Mao’s famine, how to read a face clock or the difference between a boy and a girl. They will be befuddled. Then there is the safety factor as Uvalde has shown us.
Failure is not an option in the public education system… it is a feature. The schools fail the students, the parents and society. They fail in their most basic duty. Instead, teaching the kids to be stupid, and inculcating absurdity, like the notion that everything can be solved by politics. Empowering to the politicians, disempowering for everyone else, and just… wrong. Measured by their fundamental role, to prepare kids to succeed in the real world, the public education system falls demonstrably short of that metric. How could I say such a thing? Experience. How many kids today grow up to be successful in family life, business, or socially? Very few. Instead, 100,000 die of opioid overdoses a year, they graduate college unable to hold down a job, and many no longer even know if they are a boy or girl.
Is it possible that the people who have our children more waking hours a day than we do, and are called the authorities… could have more effect on them than us? One has to consider that the time parents spend at home with their children… asleep, is not as engaging as the waking hours the administrative state’s monopoly education system has over them. Then there is the time the kids are doing homework, essentially the state monopolizing the little time the parents have with their children, to protect them from the dangerous ideas their parents may have. Like Constitutionally limited government, freedom of speech, religion and thought. The young political leaders must be protected from the counter revolutionary ideas of past generations. The public schools excel at that.
Uvalde is not the only time the police have been on site at a school shooting and have done nothing. This is getting to be a theme. The government runs interference for the shooter to maximize the victim count and thus the Hegelian reaction. Since Columbine, when the police stood down for hours, the role of the police has been to bar the parents from stopping the slaughter of their children. Protecting the shooter until they run out of ammo. One thing all the school shootings have taught us, is that we can count on the police in an emergency, to make it worse. Our kids are not protected by the State, they are its victims. With the revelations that the parents were arrested, not the shooter in Uvalde, any sane parent has to be rethinking allowing their cherished child to return to the killing fields.
Soon, the only children that will be left in the public indoctrination system will be the ill tended, ill socialized and forever illiterate. Oh, they will be able to read text messages and emojis, but literature, science and history will be eternally out of reach. Being the racist tropes of a white supremacist patriarchal hegemony they are… no one educated to be stupid would want to read them anyway. The rest will be in neighborhood education co-ops, home schooled and in private schools. I wonder how much longer people will tolerate paying for a public education system, that is so bad, they cannot trust it with their children? Then, maybe, enough of us will demand either education vouchers or tax reductions. Watch the elite claim that the public schools are the most important thing… not your kid.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
