I am totally apposed to government education. I will accept government funding with no control of where it's spent. The only way the government should be allowed involvement in education is to give out vouchers to parents so they can take their kids to the school of their choice. Or to home school. It's their choice if they want to send their kids to a liberal anti gun, gun free, killing zone school.

It is a complete lack of common sense. Political correctness run amuck.

-and then some. It's not limited to elementary schools either, it's on every single web forum I've ever visited.

If/When i have kids i will not be enrolling them into public school. Public schools are turning into nothing more than social welfare centers. Seems as though the good public schools are becoming too few are far between.

Charter schools are a good option if it's available. Our son is in one and parents are VERY involved in the way the school is run. That's been the biggest difference I've seen between our charter school and a regular public shool.

Every single one? Which ones exactly? I've found most of the ones I'm on are mostly Libertarian/Conservative minded and not anal about political correctness within reason. Granted most are various car, truck, or motorcycle related.
