The Unions continue to have a strangle hold on our poor children.
We should be outraged, yet we don't seem to be smart enough to be outraged.
Maybe it's our education.

Justice Dept Sues Louisiana Over School Vouchers...

The statewide voucher program, officially called the Louisiana Scholarship Program, lets low-income students in public schools graded C, D or F attend private schools at taxpayer expense. This year, 22 of the 34 systems under desegregation orders are sending some students to private schools on vouchers.

The Justice Department's primary argument is that letting students leave for vouchered private schools can disrupt the racial balance in public school systems.

State Education Superintendent John White took issue with the suit's primary argument and its characterization of the program. Almost all the students using vouchers are black, he said. Given that framework, "it's a little ridiculous" to argue that students' departure to voucher schools makes their home school systems less white, he said. He also thought it ironic that rules set up to combat racism were being called on to keep black students in failing schools.

The most widespread form of child abuse in America is the act of sending your precious child off to the government to be educated by government agents in government institutions.

In The Communist Manifesto Marx and Engels listed "Free education for all children in public schools" as being necessary to help clear the way for Communist societies.

The Underground History of American Education
Gatto describes the birth of The Education Trust, a group of movers and shakers representing such money interests as Rockefeller and Carnegie. He describes their agenda: “At first, the primary target was the tradition of independent livelihoods in America. Unless Yankee entrepreneurialism could be put to death, at least among the common population, the immense capital investments mass production industry required for equipment weren’t justifiable. Students were to learn to think of themselves as employees competing with one another for the favor of management, not as Franklin or Edison had once regarded themselves, as self-determined free agents.”

To accomplish this goal, scientists and educational zealots joined forces, with the financial and power backing of the giant foundations, to design an education system that views people as human capital to be psychologically manipulated into desired patterns of behavior. Education became, according to the definition of the Federal Education department, “a means to achieve important economic and social goals of a national character.”

Those important economic and social goals are reflected in the results of government schooling. Gatto claims, “Schools train individuals to respond as a mass. Boys and girls are drilled in being bored, frightened, envious, emotionally needy, generally incomplete. A successful mass production economy requires such a clientele. A small business, small farm economy requires individual competence, thoughtfulness, compassion, and universal participation; our own requires a managed mass of leveled, spiritless, anxious, family-less, friendless, godless, and obedient people.

And we wonder where all the "soul-less" kids are coming from.

It's universal...
The State must be worshiped at all times! School vouchers and home schooling threaten the dumb-down policy of government schooling.
The Obama administration has argued in court parents essentially have no right to determine how and what their children are taught, leaving the authority with the government.

German police storm homeschool class, take children by force...

Four children, ages 7 to 14, have been forcibly taken from their home by police armed with a battering ram, and their parents have been told they won’t see them again soon, all over the issue of homeschooling.
The family of Dirk and Petra Wunderlich has battled for several years Germany’s World War II-era requirement that all children submit to the indoctrination programs in the nation’s public schools.
The shocking raid was made solely because the parents were providing their children’s education.

A team of 20 social workers, police and special agents stormed the family’s Darmstadt, Germany, home. HSLDA reported a Judge Koenig, who is assigned to the Darmstadt family court, signed an order authorizing the immediate seizure of the children by force.

“Citing the parents’ failure to cooperate ‘with the authorities to send the children to school,’ the judge also authorized the use of force ‘against the children’ … reasoning that such force might be required because the children had ‘adopted the parents’ opinions’ regarding homeschooling and that ‘no cooperation could be expected’ from either the parents or the children.”

This case demonstrates conclusively why the Romeike asylum case is so important. Families in Germany need a safe place where they can educate their children in peace.”
The Romeike case has been submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court. A judge several years ago granted asylum in the U.S. to the family, which fled Germany because their children were forced to go to public schools.
The Obama administration, unhappy with the outcome, appealed and obtained an order from a higher court that the family must return to Germany. The Obama administration has argued in court parents essentially have no right to determine how and what their children are taught, leaving the authority with the government.
