Steve,
Early on, you said something about getting rid of
the Board Of Education. ( Along with Arts Programs )
It was with that comment
that I got the impression that you're not a real big advocate of
the Board Of
Ed. I would hope that you are in favor of Education. Two
different things.
You've made some excellent points and
observations.....
I can't give you an
intellegent arguement concerning Government Spending..... We
certainly
agree on this.... Another good point you made is the fact that all
that wasted $$$ could be put to
better uses.
$2500.00 Toilet
Seat.......?
$1500.00 Hammer.......?
You have a point
there......
The analogy you made concerning the California
Dept. of Education blowing, how many billions...??
Again, good point,
however, although this is not even remotely resembling a responsible allocation
of
State funds, and as imperfect as it is, it's seems to be all we've
got. And "NO", I'm not saying accept it.
It's
obvious that it needs to change...Change BIG and change NOW...! But again,
it's all we've got right now.
The $$$ has to get from D.C. to the schools
somehow. I'm all in favor of re-vamping the system, but to
do away
with the Board of Education is irresponsible, in my opinion. It would be a
Free-For-All.
No..! I don't want some pale,
pasty faced, bespectacled suit telling me what my kids need to learn
or how
to learn it.... But until there's a better system in place, the current Board of
Ed is what we've got to
work with. For now.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not being complacent... It's not "Gonna
do."
But, we need some kind of entity there to allocate funds, set policy and
basically handle it all..... If there
were no Board of Ed, it would be total
anarchy when it comes to the school
systems.
I
know... Which is the better of 2 evils..?
I don't know.... But we can't just
toss it out the window without an alternative.....
Now.... I'd be willing to
entertain any thoughts of alternatives.... You seem to
be a fairly creative
individual.....Any ideas....???
Now, I'm gonna quote you and ask what the hell you're talking about...Ok...??
I hereby declare to all the powers to be I can Educate my Children with out
your help and I can teach them to respect God, Country, all without the liberal
Basis, Ok.... No problem here.....I'm alright so
far..... I'm in favor of Home Schooling, if that's what you're talking about by
saying "I can educate my Children without your help."
Now this is where
you lose me:
You want your kids subject to the Homosexual
Agendas of recruitment in schools the normalizing of there perversion NOT
ME
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT...!!! Do you actually think that someone is advocating homosexuality
in the Classrooms or promoting a Homosexual agenda....?? Stop
it.
Do you want your kids taught that there is no God and we
are all here through an accident called evolution? Not
Me.
Religion is a personal issue and I
don't really think it should be taught in the schools unless it's an added
subject that the kids choose to attend.....Shouldn't be shoved down their
necks... No matter what side of the fence you come down on.
God has been thrown out Satan Witch craft New age beliefs
Islam has been brought In not my Idea nor Ideal of what children should be
taught so why should I have to pay for it.
Not my
idea either.....See above.....Although, if ya don't like the kind of religous
topics your kids are being subjected to, then take the time to teach them at
home, or if you like, ask them to attend Church with you.
No matter how hard
you try, you can't shield your kids from the world and all it's sh**. You
can teach them good morals, good ethics and common sense. Hope that you've
done your job as a parent... Then, you trust in their good
judgement.
Are you going to go to a restaurant and be
told what you have to eat and what you have to pay without your permission, I
guess not so why do so with the school system, just because that’s the way it is
doesn’t make it right, fair, or even justifiable.
No...I'm not going to be told what to eat..... Your analogy kinda
works and I agree to a point..... If the issue of what's being taught in the
schools is a problem or one does not like the "Menu", there are alternatives in
education.....
And, while we're at it, we can also get off our asses and do
something about it. Whatever you feel is the correct thing to do for you
and your family, ya get up and start to do something about it...... Seems
that the only way to get something changed is to start making noise about
it.....
But that gets away from the "Board of Ed issue.... It's not perfect. Not by a long shot. I'm sure you remember what started all this; you said something to the effect of "Get Rid of the Board of Education" My answer to that is: not until there's something better in place....
Later,
(-REDACTED-) ">SD
