Education for our children, whether it be public schools, charter schools, private schools, church schools, etc., must focus on training more ‘values’ of ‘right v. wrong’ on civility as taught in ‘civics’ classes; an approach that seems to have become minimized, or perhaps, disappeared. It appears children are not even taught ‘privacy rights’ in ‘public schools’. Children and older individuals and groups ignore and infringe on personal properties as it these ‘rights’ do not even exist.
Prior to the 1963 SCOTUS decision to remove the ‘Holy Bible’ from our public schools, there was very little crime in each community. As ‘God’ was removed, our public schools became unguarded zones to open sex, illegal drugs, guns, etc.
Now, there are many schools that seem to have ‘teachers’ in ‘public schools’ who do not even know and/or teach our Constitution and its’ values. It has become a rarity to even recite the ‘Pledge of Allegiance’ in public schools. Parents are joining and encircling their children’s lives in parent/child(ren) public schools, yet seem to be swallowed by our immoral individual teachings.
Fundamental freedoms, as written by our Founding Fathers, in building our nation based on Christian values are most important to restoring our social, fiscal, and national security, ‘in that order’.
Each responsible parent wants his/her child(ren) to get the best education. Each responsible parent should be allowed to choose from multiple approved responsible school resources, and taxpayers’ funding(s) should be directed to the child(ren). No schools, public schools, charter schools, private schools, church schools, etc., should be allowed to continue with public funding without responsibility of teaching our children these values.
