I don't want to make it sound just about that article; it is the political agenda they often push, the liberal thinking, (which is fine if they equalize it w/ conservative thinking), the overcrowded classes, complete lack of God... but tolerance of Muslim practice & other religions is recognized while Christianity is silenced, grading papers by agenda-motivated bias teachers, etc....
I read a paper from 7th grade class brought by my boss for his son a couple of weeks ago. It was about cloning meat from dead people. Why??? because green-house emissions from cattle they claim was hurting the ozone layer??? So they were looking at ways to clone meat from dead people??? In 7th grade public school here in Oregon. These are only some of the reasons why I put my kids in a common sense environment. I mean, somehow the kids got it in their heads that our last president was as bad a Osama Bin Laden... that probably came from school influence. I am sorry- I get fired up about the propaganda-crap they feed our kids these days.
