The public school system, like it or not is where they have been indoctrinating children for 40 plus years. it is a place run by the unions and a place that the parents have really little say in what Jane and johnny are taught. It is not the big stuff that the parents catch that matter like this, it is the little stuff, the little peer pressure that is started by the teachers to shape the opinion of the kids or in some form of competitive stance made by the teachers and administrator that puts the kids at risk by forcing them to think as a group (if that made any sense, what I mean is this volunteer thing started in the 90's by the DoE under clinton).
Now that these same radicals who were like my teachers in school are in power, we will have to consider ending the DoE and finding a way to end kidnapping of our kids by the teachers union - public servants should not have unions.
To me, a product of 1960's education reform and experinentation, public education should end and it should be turned over to private companies to properly teach the kids without teachers more worried about tenure than about how well their kids are going to do in the future.
End the madness - end public education.

There is and has been for sometime home schooling. We all have the option to keep our kids home and teach them ourselves. Indoctrination goes on all the time. IBM did it, quite cleverly I might add, in the 80's by donating entire computer labs to school systems. The kids learned computer skills on IBM computers, and as a result, That is what they were comfortable with when they became adults...
