Our public schools have need of an English lesson; they've misconstrued their mission in a most dangerous and damaging way. A once lofty goal of education all around, regardless of class; of literate and educated masses capable of sustaining our wonderful democracy (this was an issue during the founding of our country, illiterate and uneducated gentry weren't thought of as being intelligent enough to directly vote for their politicians) has been trampled into the dirt by a simple vocabulary confusion. You see, public schools have ceased to educate and have begun to indoctrinate, a most dangerous thing.

The difference between educating and indoctrinating is stark: education is passing on  knowledge to help students make up their own opinions with a solid base; indoctrination circumvents individual will and teaches the students what to think instead. Our tax dollars aren't going to public education (a successful propaganda attempt), they're going to public indoctrination. Look at the refusal to teach Creation and its replacement with an imploding theory of Darwinian Evolution. I invite you to come to my American Government class (I'm a senior in High school) for a liberal dose of leftist jibberish or to my Social Studies for higher enlightened thinking on why the white man is the root of all evil, the oppressor of nations and the enslaver of minorities as well as a helping of political correctness (political correctness is intellectual fascism). There is no end to the mental injury incurred in a 13 year brain washing program paid for with tax money.

I think that major reforms are needed in order to preserve our children (your children, I don't have any) and our country that is fast becoming an anti-American entity unto itself (see college students at the local university). The corrosion of morals, religious beliefs, and love of country by our teaching faculty is an injury WE should no longer need to bear...

Good sentiments, but I would argue that nothing can be done to salvage the public school system UNTIL the monopoly on statist education is broken! Follow the money and you'll see why this is such an entrenched problem. 

But be warned, my young conservative, unless you choose wisely, it gets worse in college! There, the gloves come off and the only goal is to re-make your mind in the liberal, secular image!

I agree. I think that a whole new education system is needed; one that doesn't promote mediocrity and one that doesn't limit potential by keeping everyone in the same classes where slower kids set the speed. A school system built on accomplishment and efficiency. Washington politics are strangling our country by keeping politicians afraid to do what's right because they prefer reelection to results (see Bush and border agents).

 The universal solution of throwing money at the probem only breeds more inefficiency and teaches students to add and subtract. My school district keeps giving teachers raises and asking the county for more money (they've done so anually for some 5 years).

 As for college; I realize that regular universities are democracy's biggest bane and I plan to attend a private college after my stay with the Army...
