How Modern Education Breeds Good Little Marxists

A Mormon couple seeking to protect their children from radical gender ideology were allegedly notified by Sunnyvale School District in Santa Clara County that LGBTQ instruction was "not optional and is not subject to parent opt-out provisions."

The district allegedly gave this notice after — and apparently with full knowledge of — the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor, in which the high court held that a Maryland school district's policy of withholding from parents notice of LGBT propaganda sessions and forbidding opt-outs constituted "an unconstitutional burden" on the parents' religious exercise.

Unwilling to surrender their children's hearts and minds to the apparent LGBT propagandists at SSD's Cumberland Elementary School, Justin and Rose Taylor — represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, a nonprofit law firm focused on protecting religious freedoms that won the Mahmoud case before SCOTUS — filed a lawsuit on Monday against the district in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

The Taylors — the proud parents of four children, including a rising third-grade son and a rising first-grade daughter at Cumberland Elementary School — said in a statement, "Our children are the most cherished part of our lives."

"We know and love them best and should be the ones deciding when and how they learn about sensitive topics regarding sexuality and gender," continued the parents. "Fortunately, the Supreme Court has recognized that right for religious parents nationwide."

That city is the next Detroit.  Bankruptcy will happen in a few years.

Chicago is not dependent on one industry like Detroit is.

But the constant cost cutting will lead to a possible fall for services.  They can't expect a bailout from the state because Illinois has a high pension obligation.

What really needs to happen is for the Chicago Stock Exchange to move to Indiana or Wisconsin. That will collapse the city. The exchange is to Chicago what GM was to Detroit.

We have already started to cut services. My contact in state government tells me bums have been leaving in droves for several years now.

Yep! My contact says they are going to greener pastures.

Independent school families don't stop paying for public education. They still pay education property taxes and every other provincial tax that helps fund the public system, even if their child never sets foot in it. Then, on top of that, they pay tuition for the education they actually choose.

So when someone says, 'I don't want to pay for your choice,' they've got it backwards. If anyone is paying for someone else's choice, it's the family paying taxes and tuition.

This is what we did with our children....we paid property taxes for public schools and tuition for private school for our children.
