Home School your children if at all possible. If you can't swing it yourself, get with other local parents. You'll have no problem finding others who are fed up with the left wing indoctrination going on in taxpayer funded public schools. Cooperate voluntarily to set up a group of like minded parents who can help each other with child care, teaching, etc.

    Why not just dismantle/reform google if they are providing biased search results?

    His recommendation is immediately actionable without violence. Reforming the system will take ages even if it is possible peacefully, so interim steps will be necessary.

      Your reading comprehension leaves something to be desired. I wasn't advocating violence and neither was the person advocating home schooling.

      The fact however, is that in a democracy unless you can build a coalition of people and entities bigger than your opposition - your only method of peacefully bypassing something you find disagreeable is to opt out of the system. Your only option to "reform" something you find disagreeable is to build a significantly more powerful movement than the thing you want reformed. It needs not just grassroots support but institutional support - and on a level higher than the grassroots/institutional support of the thing you want reformed. In a system where a street walking crackhead has the same say over how the government runs as a father of 6 that operates 2 businesses - that's simply not realistic.

      Common core is a Federal Mandate: https://files.catbox.moe/gj8qac.png and part of it's core design goals were to end "White Privilege". While home schooled children still have to pass tests made to common core standards - at the least agitprop can be taught as such by the parent instead of mislabeled as truth.

      it looks like the new tactic to censor on saidit is accuse someone of violence

      The curriculum is not something teachers or parents get to decide

      [–]Klondike 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (9 children)

      And the curriculum doesn't include any indoctrination, so what's the problem?

      Curriculum not covering the Tulsa race massacre is an accident?

      Possibly? Not sure what you are getting at.

      Just that humans are not perfect and humans are in charge of curriculum. Someone or some group has to decide what is and isn’t taught. They may be doing their best but objectivity is not possible.

      [–]Klondike 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

      Sure, but is that the same as indoctrination?

      Cede them? They are long gone already. I agree the system needs to be fixed but I don't agree the state is in a position to be the most effective educator.

      The system needs to be fixed.

      A big part of the problem is college Education Departments where future teachers get trained. They are responsible for much of the worst trends in American public education. There's a book called The Graves of Academe by Richard Mitchell that details the rise of Education Departments and their pernicious effects.

      The wife of a friend of mine recently completed a degree from one of these programs, and she's become totally indoctrinated.
