Dear Parents: American Schools Are Controlled by Democrats Who Hate You
8th August 2018
The Other McCain turns over a rock.
One of the things that any observant and curious parent will discover is that public school teachers have utter contempt for parents. No matter how intelligent or well-educated you are, no matter how successful you may be in your career, the bureaucrats who run the government education system believe that they are infinitely superior to you, in terms of knowing what’s best for your child.

Every student in college that I knew that was in trouble and couldn’t graduate – usually because they missed important requirements – managed to graduate by simply converting to the College of Education. The requirements to graduate and teach chemistry, for example, consisted of taking 1/3 the chemistry classes needed to graduate with a BS from Arts & Sciences. The also dropped requirements like foreign language because, well, that might be hard. This is the first level of filters for the school system.
School boards are not formed to insure your kids get an education. They exist to spend the tax money collected by the district. Contracts for food, building repairs, security, etc. can easily be in the tens of millions. Like all good Crustians, that money needs to go to the board member’s buddies. To that end, they hire a superintendent and principals who will do their utmost to prevent parents from becoming outraged and showing up at board meetings. Teachers are constantly reminded that they are the lowest priority and can be sacrificed in a heart beat to keep the financial system intact. Unions offer the teachers affordable insurance in case of lawsuits. The dumb, led by the criminal, and organized by the socialist.
Why should it be a surprise that public schools are a political and educational nightmare? It’s built into the system.
