Under the watchful and concerned eye of the parents, children were taught the three R's, as well as history, civics, and all the other subjects that the parents deemed important. Everyone was thrilled with the windfall. Now, many people are unable to read. Our founding heroes have been lied about or ignored. Few people have any knowledge of the Constitution or understanding of the liberty it was intended to secure.
Public school is no longer even a safe place for children.
Our children should never have been entrusted to the government schools for teaching of the fundamentals. The fundamentals must be taught at home. Clearly, our government is out of control. The situation may look hopeless. It is not.
