Government schools continued...

The Sierra Times published this article in reaction to the recent 9th Circus' court ruling that clarified State supremacy over parental sovereignty in government schools. Excerpts include:

I know this sounds harsh, but while I sympathize for the children, it's difficult to feel sorry for the parents. After all, they were the ones who turned custody of their children over to the government school system for six or seven hours a day, five days a week. Were they really all that surprised when the schools tried to undermine their parental authority?

By placing your child in the care of a government-run indoctrination center, you are saying that you trust the government to raise your child, essentially giving up your due process and privacy rights. You are admitting that the government is able to give your child something you cannot provide. When you consider how poorly the government manages everything else, why would any reasonable person think things would be different when it comes to education?

Note that the Ninth Circuit believes the school district's actions "were rationally related to a legitimate state purpose." In other words, those in control of public education have but one concern: the welfare of the state. Seeing to it that your child receives a quality education can only conflict with that.

There really isn't any way to sugar-coat this, so I'll just come right out and say it: If you willingly submit your child to the trappings of the government school system, then you have no right to complain about what they are taught.

This author is right. While it's easy to direct anger at the out of control Appeals Court in California (an arm of the government), doing so only shifts blame from the parents who entrust their children to the State to be educated.

Of course, that doesn't change the fact that the 9th Circuit Appeals Court is totally out of control, and the United States Department of Education should be disbanded under the 9th and 10th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

Nevertheless, the notion that the government would teach the children about the ineptness of government makes no sense whatsoever. Therefore, what else can parents expect from government schools?
