Quote:

My reaction to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling on the Pledge of Allegiance is a little different than most of those you will read or hear elsewhere.
.....
Over the years, extreme secularists, materialists, socialists and others have chipped away at the American creed – at the Constitution, at the Declaration of Independence.
.....
We can yell and scream about this all we want. But it won't change the direction of this country.
.....
Every American outraged by this ruling should not even raise a whimper of protest. They should not argue. They should not complain. Instead, they should remove their children from these ungodly, hostile government schools. They should do it now. They shouldn't wait until the situation gets any worse. Home school is the best option.
.....
I say let the atheists have the government schools. Let the homosexuals have them. Let the socialists have them. Let them fight out the curriculum issues with the Muslims. Jews and Christians should get out now.
.....
Gone would be the multi-billion-dollar Department of Education boondoggle. Gone would be the condom education. Gone would be the sexual propaganda and the moral relativism.
.....
This is the way parents should have responded 40 years ago to the U.S. Supreme Court rulings. They should have picked up their kids and gone home. Instead, they succumbed. Instead, they adapted to the changing morality. Instead, they did what they were told.

Get your children out, and don't look back.

Look kids, bigotry.

In stead of actually doing anything, why don't they just pray? That should work...

...at least as well as it always has.

Heh, he's got a good point though. If you don't like the government schools you should simply move your kids. Now with school vouchers such a move wouldn't be as much of a financial burden. It simply leads to more freedom all around.

I'm always amazed at how readily people suggest removing your kids from schools as a solution to whatever problem they perceive. If you have the luxury and talent to home school your kids, they might do ok. If private schools are available, that might do. Neither is an option for me.

And on top of that, we've been lucky enough to have had nothing but great experiences with public schools. The only thing I can think of that would make them better would be for all the xians to leave, so I'm all for having them abandon the schools to me and my ilk.
