and that strong opinion is based on what facts?Not so sure the gov. is so interested in them keeping quiet even ..... as long as they are "loud" about gov. approved causes. I think public schools are more about indoctrination than anything else.

Well ...considering all the rampant PC BS that goes on in public schools today, in my opinion this is a form of indoctrination, from students not being allowed to wear pro America or pro military clothing to schools having little children sing praises to the messiah.and that strong opinion is based on what facts?

Another example would be the teachers encouraging their students to skip class and protest (being "loud" for gov. approved causes) for liberal agendas, like they did in Wisconsin over Gov. Walker.
Yeah ...So, based on two actions by teachers out of millions of classrooms all over the country, your opinion is that public schools are more about indoctrination than anything else?
That seems to me to be an outrageous generalization, at least, that's my opinion.
The REAL indoctrination is among evangelical Christian parents who home school THEIR children .
Of course, not all home-schooling parents are guilty of this, but too many are.
The worst home-schooling parents teach their kids to be the same ignorant, narrow-minded,intolerant and
self-righteous jerks they are . They teach them to believe in the idiocy of creationism, to be intolerant of
any one who isn't a Bible-thumping, born-again evangelical Christian, to be homophobic bigots who think they have the right to stick their slmy little noses into other people's bedrooms, and to believe that everty one who isn't a Bible-believing born againChristian is doomed to eternal hellfire .
They are raising a generation of fanatical ignoramuses . This is frightening !
Vast deserts of political ignorance makes liberalism possible.
Liberalism is a species of mental conformity. It makes thinking unnecessary. Thinking is scary.
It's the very leftists who shout the loudest about love of humanity who also harbor a very nasty case of the hatreds. They hate Christians for not accepting the gay political agenda. They hate Jews who are "neo-conservatives." They hate "fundamentalists" except if they are Muslims. They hate, hate, hate, because on the left, hating has become good again. It shows how much you really care.
Liberals want to worship a messianic figure like Obama because like infants they put their trust in Princes. There is a Biblical wisdom literature that anybody can learn from, even atheists, because wisdom is wisdom. "Put not your trust in Princes" is a very wise and practical saying. There are Chinese wisdom sayings and Buddhist ones that are celebrated by liberals, which is fine. It's just odd that they ignore the vast number Western and Biblical wisdom sayings, because traditional religion is now bad. Except for the "religion of peace" of course.
Liberal belief is a very odd thing. Conservatives tend to pursue reality wherever it leads, even if it shows some pretty bad things about some people. Conservatives can keep track of the bad guys,evenwhen they change their hats. Liberals can't figure it out. They are the useful idiots, as Vladimir Lenin said, because they yearn to believe. They are sucker bait. Con artists can spot them at a glance.
Liberalism is a defense against reality.
That's why liberals are such useful idiots. Jewish liberals like Noam Chomsky can be intelligent in one part of life and abysmally ignorant in another part. They wear ideological blindershttp://www.americanthinker.com/2012/09/socially_acceptable_hatred.html
Yeah ...
I thought that would be your response .... liberals always put their ideologies ahead of any obvious facts but, the reality is there are literally decades of data to support my "opinions" about public education's failures "in general" in this Country.
I have not the time to post all the many examples for you nor do I believe any amount facts would change your mind.
Ideology first .... facts matter not .... it's the liberal way!
So ... parents that raise and educate their own children how they see fit in the privacy of their own homes even if it is a Christian based learning environment is "frightening?"The REAL indoctrination is among evangelical Christian parents who home school THEIR children .
Of course, not all home-schooling parents are guilty of this, but too many are.

Right ....A large part of the State of California standards (what every public school is required to teach) includes "critical thinking skills", which is bureautospeak for teaching things like how to separate fact from opinion, cause and effect, and such logical fallacies as generalizing from a few examples.
From two examples, you have concluded that public schools are more about indoctrination than anything else, and yet the admittedly liberal state of California requires that skills that make indoctrination more difficult be taught.
Kids are guaranteed all of that in California public schools, according to an obviously slanted blog? My kids both went to California schools, and neither of them received any of those guarantees.Right ....
How's that working for California?
What your child is guaranteed in California public schools
Because of bad laws, lack of pro-family laws, and politically-correct trends, here's what kids are guaranteed to receive in California public schools:
1. Homosexual-bisexual-transsexual indoctrination, without parental consent, including off-campus pro-homosexuality counseling. (Scroll down to see the laws.)
2. Pro-abortion indoctrination, "confidential” abortion referrals and off-campus "counseling", without parental consent.
3. Condom/birth control pills indoctrination and distribution without parental consent; no teaching children how to truly avoid STDs; "abstinence-only" education prohibited.
4. Anti-God, pro-evolution indoctrination.
5. Political correctness.
6. Dumbed-down academics, less academic success, on average, than private school or home school.
7. Negative socialization and peer pressure.
8. Less safety, on average, than private school.
9. Anti-Christian indoctrination; widespread rejection of religious and moral values.
10. Anti-parent sentiments.

Moreover, I taught in the public schools for nearly four decades, and never, ever, was required to do any of the above. I was, however, expected to teach kids to understand what they read, to do basic math, and to write a paragraph that made some sense, along with those "critical thinking skills" mentioned above. Have things really changed that much in the past couple of years?
Yes, your bad.Right ....
This all just right-winged propaganda. Nothing like that ever happens in California.
My bad ...
As are so many other parents around the Country. Considering everything one reads in the news today about how PC public schools are becoming across the Country, one would have to be truly and deliberately uninformed to not see the future of public education and the direction the federal government is taking it.My kids are grown and out of school. So I was early on in what's been happening currently. We had a great little community neighborhood. The primary grades were fine, but I could see things going south in the middle schools. That's when I yanked mine out and sent them to private, with much sacrafice to the family. I'm now a big advocate for private/home schooling.
