These kinds of warnings (true or not) raise the question of whether or not parents should send their kids to government schools. Clearly within the Marxist framework, kids in government schools are owned by the government and parents just provide room and board. The only way to break the Marxist stranglehold is to pull your kids out and educate them yourselves. Easier said than done but isn't that true for most things in life?
Would that I could have a do over. I just didn't have the community or partnership to find my way to it. I knew it's what I wanted though. I took my youngest out of school at the beginning of his sophomore year. We struggled a bit trying to find our way and then it shifted. And he blossomed beautifully.
I owned a 80 acre farm. Make fresh for people. There are small machines that churn. Small batches. Too bad restaurants are having a hard time because you could cater to them. I had a lot of Walnut trees but I let the Amish take them. They use the meat of the nut plus they make stain for the furniture they build.
Most parents rationalize that their schools are better than most. Also, to pull kids out will be a big financial hit on families and very few folks are willing to make that sacrifice. I get it that folks have a variety of reasons. However, if you choose to send your kids to government schools, you need to be ever vigilant and demand excellence. No one is going to advocate for your children but you!
Wow! I beat my math teacher at chess in 7th grade (1973) and he went berserker- had me in a headlock and the other kids had to intervene or he would have choked me out. Yes, He was fired!
My friend had a run in with a history teacher in jr.high.
He got the teacher in a headlock on the floor, and made him say Uncle before allowing him to stand up.
I doubt he learned anything, though. Probably kept bullying kids.
In my case, it was after class, I am not sure who if anyone, even saw it.
Probably someone did, but I never even reported the guy. He wasn't really a bully, he was also the football coach, and he was good at that part.
While he had me up in the air, he told me a very sad story about how he always struggled with school and his dad would not let him be outside with his friends, he had to stay in and study.
I told him, still up in the air, that it was indeed a sad story, but it still wasn't right to teach kids the wrong information,
He agreed that was true and let me down at that point and I immediately forgave him.
It wasn't that over generous of me to not report him. I did empathize with his explanation, but beyond that, I had milked it for laughs because there were cute cheerleaders in class and I was a transfer student who had been ostracized.
As proof that my discernment was right, without any pressure from me or administration, he resigned at the end of the year.
In order to coach, he had to also teach a class. He really loved coaching and it's pretty sad it had to be that way, but I guess he felt he had no choice.
I hope he found a better paying job. He was a huge guy, he could have opened a bricklaying business and doubled his income.

Children are pretty wonderful at self directed learning. Following their own interests, really learning anything can unfold from there.

I would wonder if a toxin is in plan to be released.

I’ve let my boys know we may have to homeschool soon, which would mean me quitting my job and having a family of 5 live on 1 income.
Yes, it is a huge sacrifice but at the same time you will be giving your children an education for a lifetime!
Make a family business to all do together. Are you creative? Children are always so creative and open. Bet you could do it.
That’s exactly what I intend to do! We live on a farm and I would like to start a greenhouse as well.

I wish you the very best for your new future!
We did just that 4 years ago. So much happier. Amen.
Been screaming at parents on social media to get their kids out of public schools for 3 years now. Some have listened, most have not

Because they ate not very likely to learn either, at least not well.
In 1973, my US History teacher slammed me into the lockers for correcting him too much in class...

Are they learning math and English these days?
Yeah, but they teach neither at schools anymore, so there is no reason...
