After Christian School…It All Goes South REPRINT

We laugh at Joe Collidge, but he does have a mean streak.

From July 26, 2016

I have this story via Frontline Ministries. I won’t use any names: the point of the story is broader than that. And it’s not the only example.

So–boy enters Christian school. He has a very bad stutter, and the other kids make fun of him. Teacher puts a stop to that, but good, and works with the boy so that he finally overcomes his handicap. No more stutter.

Boy leaves Christian school, enters public high school. His Christian teacher hears from him no more… until he gets an email from the lad, now a college student.

The young man calls his teacher “bigoted” (biggit, biggit, croak the mindless frogs in the swamp called “university”) and excoriates him for writing “hateful” things about homosexuals and Muslims. By “hateful” he means anything less than full approval and complete submission.

Then the college student–who has by now been given a bigger handicap than any stutter: a public education administered by moral imbeciles–goes on to say, pompously, to his old teacher, “It’s not man’s place to judge… I can’t believe I respected such a bigoted individual (biggit, biggit) as yourself.”

“It’s not man’s place to judge”? Dude, what are you doing as you write that? Oh, I see–judge not, except it’s right to judge Christians and conservatives because your collidge perfessers told you so.

This whole collidge mantra of “There’s your truth that’s true for you and my truth that’s true for me” is nothing but a symptom of a mind that has been trained out of the habit of reasoning. Like, dude, if it’s your old teacher’s “truth” that homosexuality is wrong, aren’t you supposed to respect that as “his truth”?

Oh, okay–it doesn’t apply to Christians and conservatives.

I’ve seen what happens when a teen or tween leaves Christian school and gets sucked into the maw of public education. In no time at all they turn the kid into a waste of space. It’s what they do best.

Please, Christians, please! If you have kids in public school, please get them out of there. You wouldn’t dream of sending them to a Muslim school to be taught by Muslims. Why are you comfortable with having them be taught by reprobates?

Meanwhile, I’m sure I can’t see the payoff in training a whole generation of Americans to be puffed-up nasty little fools in whom unearned self-esteem has replaced earned self-confidence.

Chicago Schools ‘Half Empty’

Ain’t even anybody on the slidin’ boards

Hey! How about a $93,000 a year per pupil cost? Go to the nearest public school and learn diddly squad (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/declining-enrollment-leaves-150-chicago-school-buildings-half/).

That’s Chicago, pilgrims. Chicago’s schools are half empty (we mean it literally), the costs are going into the stratosphere, and no one’s doing anything to dial it back.

They’re blaming it on “lower birth rates.” Later on I have a bridge to sell you. Or you can buy it from the American Federation of Teachers, the big bad union on the block. Somehow none of this seems to have upset the teachers’ unions. Like, they’re gonna get their money and their pensions anyhow, come what may–right?

So 150 school buildings in Chicago are now half-empty…and the cost of keeping them in business goes up and up and up.

The Most Equal and Inclusive High School in America

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:


Throughout the land, in recent days, public high schools–and colleges, of course– have been competing with one another to see which one can produce the most stilted and asinine graduation ceremony.

A school in Texas vaulted into the lead last week by not allowing students to wear their National Honor Society ribbons, ’cause it’d make kids feel bad who weren’t in the National Honor Society (I was in it when I graduated, and I can’t say anybody noticed, much less felt slighted).

Well, that has inspired another high school to go it way better.

Elwood P. Dowd High School in Schmendrick City, Michigan, will not allow graduating seniors to use their personal names. The names will not appear on the diplomas. As Principal Sy Fistula explained, “What could be less inclusive than your personal name? It excludes everyone but you! But we won’t allow that anymore.”

Dowd is going to extraordinary lengths to achieve absolute equality among the student body. During graduation, each student will wear a large gunny sack to completely conceal his or her identity. Each will be led up by ushers to receive his or her diploma. And to avoid any hint of inequality, all of the diplomas will be exactly the same and will be handed out at random by a blindfolded teacher who will fish them out of a barrel.

And instead of a traditional anthem of any kind, said Fistula, “Our kids will sing that old favorite from China’s Maoist era, ‘The People Joyfully Carry Manure to the Fields.'”

If the graduation is as great a success as anticipated, said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mildred Blastoff, “We’ll do away with personal names all throughout the year for each and every grade in all our schools.”

When Monsters Attack Your School…

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

This video illustrates one of the very few problems that do not plague public schools, these days–invasion by huge and deadly prehistoric predators.

In this case we have a rather nasty creature, a Gorgonopsid from the Triassic, rampaging through a public school building and, incidentally, demonstrating its somewhat shoddy construction. Had the monster attacked during school hours, it would have been impossible to keep him out of the cafeteria–although it may be that a display of Michelle Obama school lunches might have totally destroyed his appetite.

Which is a bigger disaster for school children–a Gorgonopsid bursting into the classroom and devouring the unionized teacher, or “gender spectrum education”? (Hint: the prehistoric monster isn’t real, but the other damned thing is.)
