Neither do I, I'm in complete agreement with the Education Secretary on this issue. Parents of course want to shield, protect, and push their kids heads into the sand. And that's not what is best for kids as independent, intelligent human beings. The best parents recognize this, and see the value of public education with no restraints on it, for prepping their kids for the true diverse and very divergent world they're going to end up in as adults. So it's quite the intelligent stance to be able to say that parents don't really want to promote what is actually best for their kids.

I'm trying to guess if you're joking or not. Regardless, that's a dumb standpoint. Who but their parents are best able to determine what is right for their children? By your logic, you would stand for any indoctrination a public school would expose your child to and never question it.

Anyone stupid enough to call my stand points dumb is not someone whose opinion I'm ever going to value. Obviously you only want to harrass people online, not listen to anything they have to say or even consider an alternate point of view. I've more education than you have, by light years. And I'll gladly submit my child to "indoctrination" in a public school over the shit they peddle in private "religious" (my asshole) schools ANY DAY. Your standpoint is dumb, by the way.

LMAO. You don't even know me or how much education I have (It's an MA btw). You're just attacking me because I disagree with you, not making any valid points.

Every school will tell you that parental participation is key to success. And having raised three children to adulthood by myself, I have the results to prove it.

And what has religion got to do with it? I never once brought up religion. I'm an atheist and my kids never attended church. Schools can't even bring up religion at all by law. Now, bullshit woke ideology and multiculturalism, they're free to talk about that to kids all day long.

Parents are essential to the development of children across the board. Any education that doesn't include parental participation is "dumb." I don't care how many degrees you or the Education Secretary has, no plan that excludes parents will work. That's why private and charter schools thrive and succeed and public schools fail.

If you have kids I'm sure they're plenty screwed up and maladjusted just like all the other little twitbrains you creeps keep churning out. Parents DO NOT have the best interest of their kids in mind, as you've just proven in spades. And no matter how many degrees you have (and I still have more than you) it doesn't necessarily make you either a good person or a worthy parent. I can tell that you are neither.

You are the perfect example of how important parenting is.

Please dial 1-800-EAT-SHIT.

So, I dialed it, now what. All i get is this repeated honking sound that sounds like your mother queefing from her grave. I suppose that's why you set up a special phone number for her maggot-riddled corpse to pass gas through. I hope you enjoy knowing she's rotting in hell.

"I respect differences of opinion. I don't respect people who are misbehaving in public and then acting as if they know what's right for kids,"

Unless they're part of the LBGT community, then all bets are off.
