You're spot on. I worry people are either zombified or so overwhelmed with -- everything -- we will lack the needed focus. The increase in home schooling is a good sign though.

Yes, education taken away from centralized forces like government I see as a vitally important tool. So difficult as parents are already so stressed.

Happily, my only granddaughter is in a Lutheran school where the name of Jesus is more likely to be heard than anything written by Ibram X. Kendi or Robin DiAngelo. Wise parents with the financial ability need to remove their children from the government's indoctrination centers.

No education is better than what America's public schools have to offer. White people might learn from their Black friends. In Cincinnati, 60% of black children do not attend any schools.

As our society transitions from being a wealthy and safe post-industrial state to a fascist totalitarian society with restrictions on what we eat and how we heat our homes, it is clear that the nation's public schools are racing with the Dep't of Transportation to see how many potholes are placed in the way of education. Soon this nation will simply grind to a violent and nihilistic halt if radical changes are not made in our relationship with the forces that stole the Federal government.

Here is the problem I have while working at public schools. I cannot take a stance on it. I will lose my job. Nor will I let a child be bullied for believing in transgenderism. Bullying for any reason is wrong. Actually, it does open my eyes and I can clearly see what is happening in America

Yes, I know what you are up against. I have family members who are in jobs where to stay employed they must hide their true stance. Wonder how many there are who are not willing to starve or allow their families to do so who are caught here? Many I know in the music industry have paid a heavy price. It is tragic.

I will have to move states and do something else to be truthful to myself. Remember the saying we lie the most to ourselves. That would be me.

Yes that is the level at which it needs to be fought. So far we never seem to be able to do that without a horribly and tragic series of wars. Problem - war in the current world is unthinkable.

Agreed. One of my favorite quotes:

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” – Winston Churchill

Yes. So unfortunately exactly right. Thanks for this reminder. We may well have already passed that point.

Appreciate the comment. We are far down the road toward Mount Doom at this point.
