The most frequent question people pose to me is: What can I/we do to fight back against the nihilistic anti-American destruction of virtually all the country’s major institutions?

There is an answer.

The single best thing Americans can do to counter the left-wing attack on America—against its freedoms, its schools, its families, its children, its governmental institutions, its sports, its news and entertainment media, its medical establishment, the CIA, the FBI, the State Department, and the military—is to take their children out of America’s schools.

Other than in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), the vast majority of America’s elementary schools, high schools, colleges, and universities teach your child or grandchild almost nothing important; prematurely sexualize them, thereby robbing them of their innocence; and harm them intellectually and morally. They rarely teach them, for example, art or music because they are too busy teaching them race-centered hatred of whites, of America, and of America’s values.

Sending your children to most American schools is playing Russian roulette with their values—but unlike the gun in Russian roulette, which has a bullet in only one of its six chambers, the schools’ guns hold four or five bullets.

In many elementary schools, your child is taught that gender is chosen and that there is no difference between boys and girls (in a growing number of schools, the teachers are told not to call their students “boys and girls”); they are taught about masturbation; and many children from first grade on attend “Drag Queen Story Hour,” wherein an obvious man wearing women’s clothing, garish makeup, and a wig entertains them.

Given that all this is well-known, why do any non-left—meaning, liberal or conservative—parents send their children to American schools?

One reason is they are in denial. Many parents don’t want to know what their children are being taught and the consequent damage done to them. They don’t really believe schools will ruin their children, let alone their children’s relationship with them.

These parents should speak to any of the millions—yes, millions—of Americans whose children have contempt for America, for free speech, and for their parents as a result of attending an American college or even high school. I meet such people at every speech I give, and I speak to them regularly on my radio show. Ask these parents, if they could redo their lives, whether they would keep their child in school.

A second reason is they feel they have no choice. If they remove their child from the local public or private school (most private schools are just as committed to anti-American indoctrination over education as public schools), what will they do with their child? They often can’t find a local school that doesn’t harm their child. They can’t necessarily even rely on Christian or Jewish schools. Most of them are as “woke” as most secular schools. And if they do find a school that teaches rather than poisons, they may not be able to afford the tuition.

The only other option, then, is to homeschool one’s child. The problem is that many parents assume this is essentially impossible. For one thing, they assume that one of the parents would have to leave his or her work, which would mean a serious reduction in the family’s income. In addition, homeschooling strikes most people as simply too daunting a task, even if they could afford to take it on.

Neither fear is entirely justified. It’s true that, at least at the outset, a working parent may have to cut back from full-time work, and it’s true that no matter what the family’s financial condition, there are challenges to taking one’s children out of school and homeschooling them.

But given the low intellectual state of most American schools, the damage they do to young children’s innocence, and the anti-American, anti-white, anti-Western indoctrination in most schools, if you are a parent of school-age children, what is your choice?

Other than a) finding a good school that b) you can afford, you have no other choice. You are fooling yourself if you think the odds are that after attending American schools from kindergarten through college (not to mention through graduate school), your child will turn out well-educated, intellectually alive, rational, kind, happy, well-adjusted, grateful to be American, and respectful of you and your values.

While there are some wonderful young Americans who recently attended American schools, and there are some lost souls who were homeschooled, American schools are largely producing the following:

Poorly educated students. Ask your college son or daughter to diagram a sentence; identify Joseph Stalin, “The Gulag Archipelago,” or the Soviet Union; name the branches of the American government; identify—or just spell—Beethoven; date the Civil War; identify the Holocaust; and name which sentence is correct—“He gave the book to my friend and me” or “He gave the book to my friend and I.”

Angry young people. Why wouldn’t they be? First, they graduate college with a huge load of debt, having received almost nothing useful for their money. Second, if they are anything other than a white heterosexual Christian male, they have been taught to regard themselves as victims of oppression. Third, their future is so bleak they may not even have one: They are threatened with extinction by climate change.

The single best thing Americans can do to fight the left-wing destruction of the country is to withdraw from the “educational” system that is actively and deliberately miseducating them by the tens of millions. If millions of American parents did so, the country would turn around as fast as you could say “teachers unions.” If they don’t, their children will continue being used as guinea pigs in the left’s sick and dystopian experiment.

It's official. Our daughter will start private school this year. And the public school she went to last year was better than most. Public schools have just fucked up too many times, and for many of us, this plandemic was the last straw.

This nut could end up being your child’s teacher and you wouldn’t even find out the craziness they’re teaching until your kid tells you about it. If you aren’t disturbed after watching this, you’re a lunatic. School choice is the civil rights issue of our generation.

https://notthebee.com/article/over-5000-teachers-have-signed-a-pledge-that-they-will-teach-crt-where-banned-by-law

The 5,000+ teachers who have signed the pledge are true believers. They think CRT is so important that they are willing to make it a hill to die on.

That should (hopefully) tell you how important the fight is to ban this garbage ideology from our children's education!


There's over 70 million students in the United States. Say, 70 students per teacher (a ridiculously high number), that's 5000 out of a 1 million, or less than 1/2% - and that's if you can believe 5000 people actually signed the petition.

I think the claim is a lie, and the article is BS.

The number of Texas families pulling their children out of public schools and pursuing homeschooling in one week this month is five times greater than the same time period last year, the Texas Homeschool Coalition reports.

“We are literally inundated with calls and emails from thousands upon thousands of families asking how they can begin homeschooling this fall,” Tim Lambert, president of the Texas Home School Coalition, said in a statement.

“In the fall of 2020, the number of homeschooling families in Texas had nearly tripled from 4.5 percent in the spring to 12.3 percent by October, according to the U.S. Census Bureau,” the coalition reports. A conservative estimate put the number of students being homeschooled in Texas in 2020 at roughly 750,000, a state record.

Be careful with getting books for your kids. I found what looked like an Architectural Book for 7-9 year olds. Half of it was "Place the Mosque in the City" and "Climate Change".

Just teach the fucking kids about arches and the golden fucking rectangle, asshole!

Looking for an alternative. I think just printing off old school public domain books is the way to go.

Critical Race Theory Aims to Turn Students Into ‘Red Guards,’ Chinese American Warns

Many schools are accused of becoming too progressive—for teaching things like critical race theory or for getting rid of proficiency standards. But one school is taking a very different approach. It’s going back to tradition, aiming to revive classical education to help kids unlock their true potential.

9 Exciting Careers For Gender Studies Graduates

Gender Studies is a growing field with many fulfilling career opportunities! We find more and more genders every day, and we need professionals to sort through them all with their gender sorting machines so they can be placed on the correct gender shelf. That's where you come in! If you think gender studies is for you, here are nine exciting jobs you can get once you graduate:

1) Burger flipper at McDonald's, but a socially conscious one: You can spread the gospel of gender identity to your coworkers!

2) Sign spinner in front of Little Ceasars, but a socially conscious one: Your manager might let you listen to your favorite gender studies podcast while you do it.

3) Foreman at the gender factory: You know, where they manufacture all the genders. Good pay and benefits, especially if you join the gender union.

4) Portland Citizen: Portland is a paradise for gender studies experts. If you play your cards right, they might let you become a professional stabber for Antifa!

5) Professional toxic coworker: As an expert in gender studies, you can become a cancer in a large corporation, slowly wreaking havoc on all relationships and infrastructure from within. Cool!

6) Alyssa Milano: Unfortunately, this position is currently filled.

7) Screenwriter for the next big Marvel or Disney movie: No actual writing skills required, as long as you are really good at gender stuff.

8) Army General and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: General Milley did it, so can you!

9) Unitarian pastor: Unitarian pastors are pretty much gender studies professors with fancy collars, so this should be easy for you.

Another good reason to take your kids out of public schools. You'll be classified as a "terrorist" for objecting to masks and forced injections.

It's not "Wokeness" it's abusive irrational incompetent educators, that put political agendas and their feelings about topics above facts and the truth.

Folks the Liberals hijacked "woke" from reality, the truth is their braindead supporters have never been more asleep in their lives, never in the History of mankind, has anyone intentionally subjugated themselves to the level of meaningless stupidity in lieu of meaningful policy.

If you wanna talk about Woke! The millions of Trump supporters were Woke when he created the great awakening, by coming down the escalator and ratting all of the Global scumbags out. He destroyed our political bliss, of voters taking the lying scumbag politicians word for face value. Not anymore. Meanwhile everyone still voting for those monsters all have their heads up their ass, and buried themselves under 10 feet of sand. While they follow unreasonable morons, that know not of what they do.

There's nothing woke about these people Period!

GREAT NEWS


In the first week (April 23-May 5) of Phase 1 of the Household Pulse Survey, about 5.4% of U.S. households with school-aged children reported homeschooling .

By fall, 11.1% of households with school-age children reported homeschooling (Sept. 30-Oct. 12). A clarification was added to the school enrollment question to make sure households were reporting true homeschooling rather than virtual learning through a public or private school.

For those of you wishing to start homeschooling:

Write a certified letter, to current school, informing that you are withdrawing your child - no need to state a reason although mentioning the suffocating masking mandates might be a nice touch.

File your California Homeschool Affidavit (very easy )https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/ps/affidavit.asp (filing deadline for this year is October 15th - much more difficult if you wait.)

Not necessary, but I highly recommend, become a member of Homeschool Legal Defense https://hslda.org/ They have many resources, the best is a phone line to a live attorney, if truancy officers ever come knocking at your door (which, you are not legally bound to let them in your house). The yearly cost is a good insurance policy to expert legal advice, if it is needed.

For those looking for options: homeschooling is the best possible one. Children usually thrive, especially if you don't try to replicate school at home but allow for 'child-lead' education.

In California, your status would be that of a small private school, and the filing period of the Private School Affidavit just opened (Oct 1-15th).
Instructions of how to file PSA and a sample letter to withdraw your child for the school can be found here: https://www.hsc.org/

PSA gives you a legal proof of homeschooling, you are not asking the State for permission.

As for teachers, there are plenty of those, online and in person. There are online homeschool support groups, park meetings, sport, nature groups, classes, field trips, co-ops, and so on. Most of the local groups are listed on the hsc website or on the website of other state-wide homeschool organizations.

Private schools aren’t really that affordable. And even if they are… that’s like $10k a year being taken out of a families spending for vacations, retirement savings, and a load of other economic activity.

And you guys think private schools don’t teach “wokeness”. If anything I see more “woke” liberal teaching in private schools. Unless you send your kid to a Catholic school… which comes with its own set of self-loathing religious related problems and irrational fear of hell bullshit.

The main benefit of private schools is smaller class sizes and being to mingle with rich people for connections. But you will usually be looked down upon if you penny pinch to send your kid there by the truly wealthy.

Depends. In many places in the country, they are indeed affordable, classrooms are smaller and more direct instruction, and less frilly bullshit. Many churches offer K-8 at least for $650-800/month, with additional discounts for actual church members. Virtual and part virtual is FREE in Florida and was before COVID cooties.

Example - Lutheran School
https://www.stjohnocala.org/our-campus - Has a gym, library, decked out science lab.
$650-750/month depending on age.

General Christian School, Jacksonville Burbs:
https://bccanes.org/admissions/tuition-fees/
$440-500/month depending on payment schedule.

Also, many have a 7:30-5PM school day meaning no extra child care is required, unlike most Guild Run Schools.

Many who drop $800 on a fancy car lease bitch about spending $800/month on their kids education.

The more who private/homeschool, the more pressure will be on State Governments to rebate/voucher at least part of the incredibly massive cash cow intake of per student school fees to the parents/private schools.

Not really. I went to a Catholic school for 3rd-4th grade. The religious aspect is a small part of the curriculum and the non-Catholic kids were excused from religious activity. And there were quite a few non-Catholics, as a Catholic school is a great place to send a kid who is a discipline problem in public school.
