Parents Over Public Schools
Until we put parents' choice first we'll be stuck with a system that creates more tyrants than critical thinkers.
The public school movement is based on exploitation — one where unionized teachers can hold children captive for professional rewards, massive pensions, and the opportunity to indoctrinate future generations with political propaganda.
But it didn’t always used to be this way. At first the public school movement provided children of low income parents with an adequate general education.
Then history happened.
With the success of its industrial efforts America grew up. It became a lively nation of wealth, abundance, and commerce.
And from this revolution came America’s superb middle class sensibilities that rejected prude aristocracies from above and desperate mobocracies from below.
America became a healthier, wealthier, and more dignified nation.
But the public education system never changed with the commercial realities of Americans’ market oriented lifestyle.
Instead bureaucracies became further entrenched and insistent upon teaching kids to undermine our republic.
As a result of this backwards development generations have been coerced to reject the values inherent to our founding, and instead have embraced the tyrannical form of government -- i.e. Prussian -- that the public system originated from.
It, however, doesn’t have to be this way. Instead of embracing a retrograde system of education we can get with the times and open the education markets. And we as current and future parents can reassert our prerogative -- and the joys therein -- of choosing.
And only when parents choose to choose will our education system then reflect the market oriented realities that have enriched our lives both materially and spiritually. Until that hopeful day we’ll be stuck with an education system churns out aspiring tyrants instead of savvy consumers.
