Why You Shouldn’t Send Your Kids to Public Schools

Reason #1: They are run by brain-washing hippies who will exploit their professional status to use your kids as pawns for their own political propaganda.

Front Page Mag reports that at Frank Allis Elementary School in Madison, Wisconsin, third graders we told to “write letters to their congressman and various media outlets calling for an end to the war in Iraq.”

Parents were sent a letter justifying this political indoctrination as a social studies lesson. “The Frank Allis third grade will be writing letters to encourage an end to the war in Iraq,” the letter explained. “The letter writing will teach civic responsibility, a social studies standard, while providing an authentic opportunity to improve composition skills and handwriting. If the war has not ended by the 12th day [of the letter writing campaign] we will start the whole sequence over again, writing to students in middle school, high school, and college.”

By “civic responsibility”, they mean serving as their political drones. Even though this exercise violated at least two district policies: one that bans teachers from promoting their personal political beliefs to students; and another that requires teachers to address opposing views when presenting controversial topics, it never occurred to administrators that this might be a bad idea.

Liberal bias and indoctrination in schools? Nah!
