[kitchencabinetforum] PUBLIC SCHOOLS DUMBDOWN CHILDREN

The socialistic feature of public schooling that dooms it to fail is that at every level, the system relies on compulsion instead of voluntary consent. The curriculum is politicized to reflect the socialistic cancer of kleptocrats in power. Standards are continually dumbed down to the least common denominator. The brightest children are not permitted to achieve their potential, the special-needs of individual children are neglected, and the mid-level learners become little more than socialistic cogs in a kleptocratic machine. http://venitism.blogspot.com

Today, in the case of Meredith v. Daniels, Marion County Superior Court Judge Michael Keele issued an order denying the teachers union's attempt to block implementation of the Choice Scholarship Program in the upcoming school year. This means that the almost three-thousand students who have received Choice Scholarships will — without disruption — be able to attend the private schools their parents have selected.

Dropping out is a smart strategy of cutting losses short! Public schools are filled with eager, fresh-faced youngsters, and prisons contain many rough-looking adults with uninviting personalities. They are both kleptocrat-run facilities where individuals are held for a specific number of years without their consent, at the mercy of their custodians. For years, kleptocrats have been doing their best to further blur the distinction by giving public-school officials the same powers as the warden of San Quentin. There are many abridgments of freedom and invasions of privacy inflicted on children. Children are looking for a Moses to liberate them from the jails of classes, and lead them to the promised land of real life. http://venitism.blogspot.com

In its decision, the Court found that the opponents of the program were unlikely to succeed on any of their three constitutional claims. Rejecting Plaintiffs' claim that the Choice Scholarship is unconstitutional because religious schools may participate, the Court held that the CSP is religion-neutral and was enacted for the benefit of students, not religious institutions or activities. The Court also recognized that the program permits taxpayer funds to be paid to religious schools only upon the private, individual choices of parents.

Generations of dumbing-down and educational indoctrination have brainwashed hoi polloi. Perhaps citizens will wake up quickly to their peril, perhaps not. They must be taught the value of freedom. Many do not even know what it is, and many don't put a value on it. Where the Founders had the advantage of the spread of Graecoroman ideas, and a population receptive to them, we have the disadvantage of the decline of those ideas, and a population largely indifferent to or ignorant of them. This is quite an obstacle.

Institute for Justice Senior Attorney Bert Gall points out this is a big victory for parents who are relying on the Choice Scholarship Program to give their children the quality education they deserve. IJ won round one, and it will continue fighting until it gives this meritless lawsuit a knockout punch. The Institute for Justice has intervened in the litigation on behalf of two parents with children who are attending private schools with the aid of Choice Scholarships. http://venitism.blogspot.com

Schools dumbdown children. It's ridiculous to jail children in schools for sixteen years! No wonder children revolt violently. Homeschooling is the education of children at home. Homeschooling is a legal option in many places for parents to provide their children with a learning environment as an alternative to publicly-provided schools. Parents cite numerous reasons as motivations to home school, including better academic test results, poor public school environment, improved character, and objections to what is taught locally in public school. It is also an alternative for families living in isolated rural locations or living temporarily abroad. Homeschooling is legal in many countries, especially Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

School choice mom Heather Coffy, whose three children have received Choice Scholarships, is thrilled with the court's ruling, which will ensure that she and other parents all over Indiana will have true educational choice this school year. http://venitism.blogspot.com

IJ Senior Attorney Dick Komer points out the court got it exactly right. While the Choice Scholarship Program is inconsistent with the self-serving agenda of the teachers' unions who are supporting this lawsuit, it is perfectly consistent with the state and federal constitutions.

Children locked in all these classes
Dumbing down our kids
Boring teachers with glasses
Unschool now and lib the kids.

Kids are looking for a Moses
To liberate them from all these freaks
To lead them to the promised land of chosen
Unschool now and lib the kids.

Eager fresh-faced youngsters
Bored to hell and tired lids
Are in classes like gangsters
Unschool now and lib the kids.

Abolish schooling right now
Abolish all these stupid grids
Fire all these teachers anyhow
Unschool now and lib the kids.
