"Educate Children Privately
I’ve been saying it a lot lately, and I’ll say it again: Public schooling as it stands today is an apparatus for brainwashing, nothing more. With the dismal world ranking of U.S. students in math, science and reading, I hardly see what service public education is actually performing in America. The only service public schools do seem to excel at is indoctrination, with children now being immersed in collectivist lessons through Common Core and being conditioned into pacifism and fear through insane zero-tolerance policies."
This. My wife disagrees with me on this, but less and less and vehemently. I think she is beginning to see "it" too.
It is scary to see the intolerance of free speech/thought/expression. And this is coming from the folks who brought us the "minds are like parachutes, they only work when they're open" bumper sticker. Go figure.
