I enjoyed reading this piece at National Review Online. It has nothing to do with homeschooling. In fact, the author Susan Konig sends her kids to parochial school. But I did appreciate her sentiments about public school parents.
Here’s some bits and pieces. Read the whole thing here.
I saw a bumper sticker in the parking lot of the local public elementary school that read: What our schools need is a moment of science.
Science is great. In fact, it’s our nine-year-old’s favorite subject. But this statement isn’t pro-science, it’s anti-God. It’s saying that a moment of silence is an offensive thing and that it should be replaced by something academic.
it would be nice to show up for a sports event or a play at the public schools we support wholeheartedly with our tax dollars and not be offended for our beliefs. I don’t meet to overreact — I realize this is one bumper sticker on one person’s car — but I have been overtly confronted with this anti-religious fervor before.
