Good for you.

I chose to send my kids to public schools and they are thriving out in the world.

It is that important to our family.

I went to private schools and chose public for my kids.

So, I responded - told you some things I've done both through my life and just lately... and asked what you have done (I mean, other than to suggest that you somehow deserve my tax money to fund your kids not going to public school)? And?

It's much cheaper that's for sure.

No way my daughter will ever set foot into public school. Parochial schools are the best.

Everyone lost their rights, not just 18-21 year olds. They simply lost one more than everyone else.

You make a good point, I just wanted to add some accuracy on the "who lost their rights" points.

2. When was the last time your child attended a public school as a student?
2.a. Did your child become a communist or socialist?

3. How many teachers do you personally know who preach a particular -ism?
3.a. Which -ism is it?
3.b. How many of the teachers' former students are now followers of the -ism?

I don't expect ANY of the public school critics to answer any of these questions because they mostly like to sit at home, collect their social security, and ***** about things. But if they're serious about what they're saying, the questions are easy to answer.
I asked this question earlier and not a single person bashing public schools has answered it.

Thought I'd give them another chance in case they haven't seen it. The questions are simple and won't take long to answer. So, public school haters, would you do us the favor of answering some of these questions?

You were given one already -- the kid being suspended for not participating in the walk-out. A perfect example, even if they did make it up.

This is the hallmark of the right now, creating strawmans to blame on the left so that they can defend their proclivity to want to regress back to the middle-ages.

You make an issue of some mythical indoctrination panic while at the same time your brethren are justifying Russian aggression against our sovereignty. Your concern about Freedom and Liberty rings hollow.

In other public schools, kids were suspended for walking out.

Right and that further disproves the theory that public schools are somehow a leftist plot.
