Rob's Column

Dear Mom and Dad,

I've come to the realization that you were horrible parents to me and I will not duplicate your almost fatal mistake in my child's upbringing.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the life lessons and the morals and values you instilled in me.  The summer vacations were something I will always cherish and pass on.  However, you did me wrong, you ambushed me, you sent me out in life with my wings without ever giving me a chance to fly.  I walked out your door without the knowledge or well being to no any other difference.  I was indoctrinated into Liberalism and made to think that the Democrat party was the best thing since sliced bread.  You didn't give me a choice and I didn't ask to be, however as I look back it's all your fault.  How you ask, because you sent me to a Public School.

I don't say Public School's these days, it doesn't have the same toxicity as saying Government School's does.  You would wake me up every morning; prepare breakfast, make sure my teeth were brushed, hair combed, clothes not on inside out, I had my book bag, coat if needed, on time, and hurry me out the door for the arrival of that cheese wagon.  You failed in being a parent in that you didn't follow up what I was being taught after that cheese wagon debarked with me in it.  I was indoctrinated into a world of socialism and fascism without those two words ever being explained to me.  Still to this day I'm not sure you were even aware of it, but you should of.  You spent every waking moment teaching me what was right and wrong in life, but between the hours of 8am and 3:30 pm, you never had a clue. 

With the above in mind, I've taken my understanding of Government schools further.  The Government pays $9,000 dollars to schools for every child to attend.  Please keep in mind that money came out of your taxes, therefore your hard earned money.  Here is the real kicker though, private school on average costs only $6,000 per year for each student.  So help me out here, you know I went to a Government school ran by Unions of teachers, how can private school give a better education and be $3,000 dollars cheaper?  President Bush came out with this great idea, called "No Child Left Behind", in that plan, school's are tested.  If the school is found failing in consecutive years, then the parents of students are given a voucher or can go to any Government school of their choice.  However, Teacher Unions just had to step in and say "NO" to vouchers.  Teachers themselves know this is going on, and is what most call their dirty little secret. 

Neal Boortz says, "There is no greater long-term threat to our continued prosperity, economic liberty, freedom, and quality of life in the United States than that presented by teachers unions, and that includes Islamic terrorists.

Let me ask you this parents, would you send your dear little Johnny out on the streets to join the gangs.  See, the Teacher Unions are organized and act just like the most violent street gangs out there.  You have a leader (the Principal), Captains (Teachers) in the gangs, and many underlings that do all the dirty work.  Now if I present it like that, you wouldn't send your kids out of the house to a Government School.  So are you wondering why Teachers Unions keep killing the voucher system at all levels of Government?  It's simple, it's called competition.  The lack of competition in our Government school system is literally brain washing and undermining the knowledge our children need to be prosperous in our world. 

As this school year is ending, I plead to you to save your money and find a private school for your kids or better yet, home school them.  I could go into a big tirade about how the Democrat Party gets most of their votes from Unions, including Teacher Unions.  I mention this to you because, it's only a matter of time before your little Johnny comes homes and tells you that your destroying the earth (Global Warming), that Polar Bears are dying, that the poor should be given everything, and the rich should have everything taken away to be given to the poor.   Better yet, just ask your child if his school supplies were taken away on the first day and spread out evenly to all his classmates.  It happens folks, the Liberal teachings of our teachers and the lack of competition is not just poisoning our children but giving them a great disservice to their education.  This is all solidified by Wichita, Kansas Government School system, it has over a 35% drop out rate.  More than 1 out of 3 children don't even have the basic skills to work a drive-up window at McDonald's.  I know their is always exceptions, but this is the norm folks, and is most likely affecting your children

To my parents, I forgive you, but this circle of destruction in our family has come to an end.  Even if I liked the Democrat Party and didn't mind their influence in our Government School system, I can't take away the fact that due to lack of fair competition, our children are not being taught the skills to be successful in this world.  This doesn't just hurt us individually, it hurts the whole community.  What happened to teaching our children the facts, and giving them a fair and honest presentation of both sides of all issues. I implore you to start calling those liberal infestations what they are, Government schools instead of Public Schools.

Let's not forget about Home Schooling,
