The other shoe drops...the number of home schoolers and their role in society continues to expand dramatically with each passing year, while enrollment in many public schools plummets for all except those who come from the most disadvantaged backgrounds.
This is, perhaps, the next step in the popular revolution I was describing in my last post. Like the patriots of old in colonial days, we can simply refuse to cater to the Crown, not buy what they are selling and go our own way instead.
This is the not so secret truth of what is happening across the nation: As schools have become increasinging hostile to, and intolerant of, people of faith, more and more are choosing to go to private school or home school. The result, ofcourse, is that the school districts lose more and more enrollment and more and more state and federal money.
All they have to do to reverse this trend is to make the schools a friendly, fair place for people of faith and tone down, considerably, the hostile anti-American and anti-religious rhetoric that we find in too many classrooms. If they strive for a classroom environment that is fair and welcoming to all, that strives only to teach as opposed to indoctrinate, they'll keep more students and more money and we'll all be happier.
But don't hold your breath.
Just stay tuned for more.
