The public schools in many (most?) parts of this country are indeed broken, and there’s no point in trying to “work within the system” to fix them. They’re too far gone. Meanwhile, our children are suffering. All children are suffering. Our only option is to bypass the “system” altogether, take matters into our own hands, and create our own schools, focused on excellence and open to everyone.
Once the public schools did reopen, those same parents found that their children were being exposed to a level of sexual and political indoctrination never before seen.
This has led commentators like Matt Walsh and Dennis Prager-and more recently, Brownstone's own Charles Krblich-to argue that the public schools are irreparably broken and the best thing parents can do is remove their children as soon as possible.
I came to that conclusion myself a few years ago, after decades of defending public schools as our primary instrument for producing thoughtful, informed citizens.
Many private schools these days seem beset by exactly the same problems dogging their public counterparts.
Fundamentally, charter schools are still government schools.
Even taken together, they are insufficient to address the problem, because millions of parents who would like to get their kids out of the government schools still feel trapped there.
The public schools in many parts of this country are indeed broken, and there's no point in trying to "Work within the system" to fix them.
