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.

Omaha seems to be one of the best for low cost of living/decent wages

True, but very high real estate taxes, plus a state income tax. Still beats California, though. Omaha does have pretty good night life, for all ages and genres. Opera, "Bagels and Bach" in a major park, Shakespeare on the Green, horse races, nearby casinos, museums, a good zoo, good AAA Pro baseball, outdoor dining with trendy local band, lots of ethnic eateries, dance halls for everyone from the young and hip to the granny grab polka places, and an easy airport to fly out of. Nothing if you like to sail, motorboat, or kayak though.

I hear the same argument regarding property taxes in Texas(though no state tax). The fact is, a $270k home in Texas has about $3600 in property taxes a year. The same home costs a million plus in Los Angeles and id wager property taxes on that home are double what they are in Texas, not to mention 3-4x the cost.

I’m guessing a $150k home in Omaha doesn’t carry a high tax bill, regardless of high property tax rates.

This is a $150k home in Omaha:



This has $2,000 yearly taxes, was built in 1917, and is not in the best area.

This $300k home in Omaha has a yearly real estate tax of $4300. Taxes do not include trash service, and school district taxes can be added.

Number of homes available in all of city of Los Angeles under $500k(population 4 million). All are literally war zone. Many are literally falling apart. Property taxes are $3300 a year on $450k though that’s not at all realistic as even in the exurbs you are likely to be paying over $600k for any home.



Number of homes available in Omaha under $175k. Population ~350k. Some are not in war zone. Not to mention that the suburbs in LA are MORE expensive in LA while many Omaha suburbs are around the same.

I was not comparing Omaha to California. I was comparing it to Texas.

Yes it's likely to help! (keeping kids home)

Schools get paid around $25 per student per day. If they are missing by an unexcused absence, the school loses that money per student per day. It makes a HUGE difference because it hurts them where they can least tolerate it.

Cheers!

The Best way to fight "COMMUNISM".

Woke sounds cute, and the right thing to do. That's why they picked that as a code word. When you use Woke, you're intentionally using the word they suggested you use, so it will be harder to convince people that real evil is afoot.
132   Patrick   2021 Oct 27, 9:52am  

OK, I'll try to stop using "woke" but "communism" isn't going to help as a replacement imho. They people doing all this do not think they are being communist.

https://spectatorworld.com/topic/loudoun-county-virginia-school-board-meeting-october/


At Tuesday’s meeting, 120 Loudoun residents signed up to speak in-person. An additional 13 did so virtually. Residents were allowed just one minute of speaking time. Several speakers referenced the fact that most of them had to wait outside in the cold weather — Dominion Energy reported thousands of homes lost power due to heavy winds in the DC area — because of the speaking restrictions and accused the school board of trying to discourage them from showing up to speak.

The vast majority blasted the school board over its alleged cover up of a sexual assault in order to advance a transgender bathroom policy, vaccine mandates for student athletes and the teaching of critical race theory in classrooms. Many parents came armed with signs featuring an email sent by Superintendent Scott Ziegler indicating that he had knowledge of a sexual assault by a gender-fluid student in a girl’s bathroom, despite claiming in a board meeting over the summer that he had no record of assaults on file.

“You’re all busted for lying and orchestrating a cover-up,” one female parent said early on in the public comment portion of the meeting. “You’re digging yourselves deeper and deeper with each day that goes by. Do the taxpayers and families of Loudoun a favor and resign today.”


The answer is definitely to pull all kids out of public schools. They will get less funding.

Genderfluid/Genderqueer = Autogynephiliac
Woke = Authoritarian
Restricting Misleading Information = Chilling Effects on Speech
Restricting Misleading Political Claims = Censoring the MOST PROTECTED Speech.
Equity = Forcing Similar Outcomes regardless of effort

Most Americans want schools to promote knowledge and champion principles of human decency. They want schools to be safe. They do not want children race-shamed, or exposed to the anomic and depraved. A fourteen-year-old boy wandering around campus — any campus — wearing a floor-length dress doesn’t sound wholesome to them.

What’s going on in “our” schools, some ask, and not in a sunny way. Too many know from experience, at least in metro and blue-liberal districts, that any parent who avows the Ten Commandments or praises the Boy Scout Law might get the fish-eye from the principal. If dad objects to critical race theory or transgender bathrooms, heads explode. A frosty diversity lecture might not suffice. Should we call security or 911? Educators for their part tend to think of parent-dissidents as mentally unstable and possibly dangerous. So apparently do shadowy figures inside the Biden administration.

LEAKED: Teachers Reveal How They ‘Stalk’ Kids, Sideline Parents To Pull Middle Schoolers Into LGBT Groups
NOVEMBER 18, 2021 By Elle Reynolds
Members of California’s biggest teachers union plotted how to push LGBT politics on children and undermine concerns about their tactics from parents, principals, and communities, reveals leaked audio from an October conference of the California Teachers Association (CTA).

“Speakers went so far as to tout their surveillance of students’ Google searches, internet activity, and hallway conversations in order to target sixth graders for personal invitations to LGBTQ clubs, while actively concealing these clubs’ membership rolls from participants’ parents,” Abigail Shrier reported on Thursday.

That video went around, I did see it. And can confirm it’s real. Join parent groups, you’ll get to see a lot more. In that video some fat fag was teaching teachers how to lie to parents, hide information, all under guise of parents won’t approve and by hiding you really are protecting child from their parent”. Kind of empowering teachers to feel like they are doing gods work when they are just fucking the kid up.

“Informed parents of California”
“No left turn on education”
“Let them play”
Etc…. Groups to join. They are all on Facebook

Vouchers and School Choice are too big a threat to leftist for them to allow it:
1. It ends the workfare that leftists use when hiring sub-standard teachers and administrators, since the bad schools would be vacated
2. It allows the minority/lower income kids to go to the same schools the lefties send their own kids to.

https://spectatorworld.com/topic/gop-must-remain-party-parents-critical-race-theory/


The GOP must remain the party of parents
The Democratic motto could be ‘safe spaces in classrooms and rape in bathrooms’ ...

In its brilliant anti-CRT primer, the Chinese American Citizen Alliance of Greater New York called this ideology, “a hateful, divisive, manipulative fraud.” The civil-rights group added, “Hate groups, with allies in politics, the press and education, pass CRT off as anti-racism and diversity, equity and inclusion, but CRT is exactly the opposite. From its very roots, CRT is racist, repressive, discriminatory and divisive.”

The primer further warns, “Parents need to watch for CRT in schools, talk to each other, and organize.” It urges parents “to speak with their kids to anti-indoctrinate (or un-doctrinate ) them at home. This needs to start early because CRT indoctrination also starts early. Don’t trust schools and teachers blindly.”

Warning: Democratic salivation for universal pre-kindergarten is about much more than mere childcare.

Not content merely to ruin children’s minds, these radicals threaten their bodies. A fourteen-year-old boy in a skirt sexually assaulted a fifteen-year-old girl in a female bathroom at Stone Bridge High School in Loudoun County, Virginia.

Superintendent of Schools Scott Ziegler told an audience including Scott Smith, the girl’s father: “To my knowledge, we don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms.” When the understandably irate father tried to complain at a school board meeting, cops wrestled him to the ground and arrested him. The NSBA then used the rightfully enraged Smith as the poster boy for the so-called potentially lethal parental menace from which their members desperately needed FBI protection.

Virginia’s parents became even angrier when they learned that Ziegler knew about Miss Smith’s rape and casually lied about it. Even worse, rather than call the cops, administrators transferred the young rapist to Broad Run High School — where he raped another girl! ...

With Democrats now soft on school rape and hard on mothers and fathers who want to shield their children from sexual assault and bigoted, far-left propaganda, the Republican Party must assert itself morally and politically as the party of parents. Democrats have created a vacuum that Republicans have no choice but to fill.
