Oooo this is a favorite of mine....
First off they are not public schools, they are
government schools. They are run by government officals who's main interest is protecting their government job. Hello the teachers union?? Idealy, if you can't afford to educate your children then don't have children.
Most of the people I've met that are home schooled or privately educated are more intellegent and susscefull in life because they received a better education than those of us that went through goverment schools. (course they are also snobby brats with terrible social skills)
On the pledge:
Dedicating school time to say the pledge is no different than dedicating time for prayer. I take issue with sending kids to
government schools where they are required to pledge allegence to a "nation under God". Leave God and Country out of school, they are there to learn.
Heather has two mommies?!?!
....there was a time in this country when people had problems with government schools telling kids that blacks were equal to whites, or that women were equal to women....Just because popular opinion doesn't support it, doesn't mean that notraditional families are wrong.
If schools teach that a family is a married father and mother and their 2.5 children, I think they need to also teach about single parents and Heather's two mommies.
