public school enrollment down

Is it curtains for public schools?

America has the costliest and most intrusive education system in world history

Our public schools feature Critical Race Theory (all white people are born racists, etc.), transgender propaganda, filthy books in school libraries, weird “teachers” who describe their aberrant sex lives to the children in their classrooms, and school boards that go running to the federal Justice Dept. to get objecting parents branded as domestic terrorists.

For some reason, now, ABC nooze reports that “Headcounts are down at public schools. Now budgets are, too” (https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/headcounts-public-schools-now-budgets-84414848).

It’s nowhere near enough, but things have to start somewhere. Take enough kids out of the schools, and public education dies. And all that Far Left Crazy indoctrination dies with it.

Much public school funding, in the form of federal and state aid, is tied to enrollment figures. When enrollment goes down, so does the aid. Houston, for instance: enrollment is down 22,000, and $60 million in cuts have been proposed.

Olathe, Kansas: 30,000 students in 2019, lost 900 in 2020, fewer than 100 have returned.

Albuquerque, New Mexico: In six years, went from 85,000 students to 73,000. Most of those 12,000 have not returned.

Lawrence, Kansas: lost $7 million in aid. Des Moines, Iowa: more than $9 million cut from the school budget.

Throughout the country, public school districts are cutting jobs, not hiring, selling buildings, and merging classrooms. (Not a dry eye in the house!)

School officials grudgingly admit there are suddenly a lot more homeschooling families than there used to be. Golly-gee, we wonder why. They’d like it to be solely due to COVID: but all COVID did was to close schools, have children “learn” at home, and allow parents–finally!–to see and hear what was being taught. And they don’t like it.

The Far Left in America (that means you, Democrat Party) cannot survive without the public schools to generate brainwashed voters and the teachers’ unions as its shock troops.

Payback has been a long time coming; but now it’s at the door.

More and more parents last year, and earlier this year, pulled more and more children out of public schools; and fewer and fewer of them have been coming back (https://www.intellectualtakeout.org/another-massive-fall-exodus-from-u-s–public-schools/?fbclid=IwAR1TiErCVzweoAdMbORu61HJt33USWSPDJ3WPt0hZps_3duyxFQPFR75L0Y#.YWlfUNOoSbg.facebook).

Big-city school districts have been hard-hit, and because the amount of state aid given to a district usually depends on enrollment, these districts face “unprecedented drops in funding.”

Ain’t that just too bad!

It’s reported that vaccine mandates and mask mandates are the chief factors deterring parents from re-enrolling their kids in public schools. Get a shot that’s gonna give you heart disease before you’re old enough to vote–how attractive is that?

But there are other factors: school boards asking the FBI to “investigate” parents who object to their Far Left curriculum… critical race theory, anti-American “studies,” cheerleading for transgenderism. There’s plenty not to like!

Up until King COVID closed the schools and sent children home for “remote learning,” parents were able to avoid knowing what their kids were being… “taught”… in public schools. With the kids at home, parents finally saw and heard what was being seen and heard in classrooms. Mobs of irate parents have been thronging school board meetings all over America.

We are rooting–no, we are praying!–for public education to fail, collapse, and go extinct. The whole system has been captured by Marxist teachers’ unions and “educators” who want to turn America into a socialist landfill. Our local school boards don’t represent us anymore: they sic the FBI on us! We have no meaningful recourse but to pull our children out of there–the sooner, the better.

Kill public education, and the Far Left in America dies.
