Why Do We Keep Our Kids in Public School?

Explicit books removed from K-12 school libraries but only ...

Be careful what you pluck off the shelf

A Biden-appointed judge has ordered the Elizabeth School District, Colorado, to bring back into the school libraries 19 books that had been removed because of sexual content, violence, etc., etc. (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/federal-judge-tramples-parental-rights-forces-explicit-books/)

“Activists” took the district to court, and won. Gotta put the dirty books back on the shelves.

Let’s ask this question again, for the umpteen thousandth time:

Why in the world do any parents sent their kids to public schools? I mean, you don’t have to! Maybe you like the teachers’ unions. Maybe you like them pushing sexual confusion on your children.

The news reporting on the subject is kind of vague, but at least Just The News included the judge’s whole decision.

Why subject your families to this? I can’t imagine my parents putting up with it. How about yours?

School Board vs. Angry Parents

Opinion | Angry parents at school board meetings have a right to speak - The Washington Post

“The plebs are getting uppity!”

Dearborn, Michigan, school board president, to angry parents (her audience):

“We will not boo, we will not jeer. You can clap if you like, and you’ll listen to the speaker” (https://www.foxnews.com/us/dearborn-michigan-school-board-meeting-books-ends-parents-told-not-boo-clap-only).

The parents were there to object to lurid sex books being made available to children via the school libraries. Obviously they did not understand that their role in “education” begins and ends with paying for it. So the board president addressed them like a schoolmarm letting a roomful of dumb kids know who’s boss.

And for some reason that didn’t tone them down, but only made ’em madder! Who would have thought it? So the board called the cops (What? The FBI wasn’t already there, spying on the parents?) and shut the meeting down.

Remember when your local school board was your neighbors and your friends, just trying to do a good job for the community? How long ago was that? What happened to make it stop?

Now they seem to envision themselves as some kind of masters over the rest of us, with an overriding claim to authority over our children. If we don’t like it, they’ll call the FBI and you’ll have them breaking down your door in the middle of the night.

We pay for those schools, every red cent of it. How come we have no ownership rights?
