Public Education Getting Worse
Dear Editor,
The United States is the premier nation in the world in many ways, but our education system is inferior to most third world countries. As if academic incompetence and indifference were not bad enough, the government school system is also an open sewer of bullying, sexual predation and political indoctrination.
And now they want to destroy the innocence of little children and encourage them to engage in irreversible self-mutilation, in a perverse celebration of twisted sexuality.
It’s completely inappropriate, if not downright evil.
If you care at all for your children or grandchildren, it is incumbent on you to save them from the depraved and debased “public schools” – before they fall victim to the left’s agenda.
Austin Morris
So maybe you can teach them at home
We did.
One got a “free ride” (100%) scholarship to UNC-Chapel Hill and the other won a “free ride” to MIT.
Congratulations to them on that Austin. It speaks highly of their upbringing
Thanks.
My wife deserves all the credit. She taught them, and it was a financial sacrifice to lose her income, but in the end it was worth it – and not just because our sons got a much better education at home than the debased government schools.
The 1099 we would receive from MIT each year itemized and totaled the value of my son’s tuition, board, activity fees, etc, etc… (we had to submit it to something called FAFSA).
The value of ONE YEAR at MIT on his full ride or free ride was MORE THAN MY ENTIRE INCOME FOR THE YEAR!
So we almost came out ahead financially too.
I commend Home Schooling to everyone.
It’s not difficult to do better than the government schools….
Sir AND Ma’am
I salute you both.You both are an example of what makes families what they should be. There is no question that there are others like you across the country who are unsung yet don’t care they don’t get parades and fireworks for their accomplishments.
And I would be remiss if I did not raise a cheer for your children for their drive and focus. The Hildabeast said it takes a village…well guess what…here is an example of what kind of village I would want to live in.

Thank you, Alan. As my wife says, “We’re a team”. And our “team” is called a family.
We don’t need the village.
Written like someone that has no child in school and someone that took bullet points from ron desantis. Pathetic.
You have a fertile imagination. You must be a Democrat.
PS
Your misspelled moniker says everything about the school system you work in. The public school system is a joke.
And for God’s sake, buy a dictionary.
No argument with public schools struggling in quality of education. Was questioning your silly leap about indoctrination, sexual mutilations, etc… Not surprised you didn’t attempt to defend those statements. Because, of course, you can’t.
Didn’t you learn to write an argumentative paper in high school? State your position. Provide two to three supporting facts then wrap up with a conclusion.
Oh…. this is so rich. Chris the Bigot is so educated & erudite that he’s now lecturing us on how we should compose our comments! This from a guy who can’t differentiate “queue” from “cue”!
What a smug moron.

And as everyone can see, the government schools are actively implementing an MGBGT agenda. It’s in the news every day. It’s sick, just sick.
Again, Austin provides no real examples or data to back his argument. Paint me shocked.
Your infatuation with “data” and “studies” is puerile. As an example, you say you are a Christian who believes in God. Okay, now back that up with data and studies, buddy.
—–
The Leftists who have infiltrated the corrupt government school system are very careful to cover their tracks, because they’re aware of the uproar their indoctrination would cause if it were exposed. But the truth still leaks out, quite often.
Now they’re confusing little children with a perverse sexual agenda. It’s sick, and everyone knows it.
Austin repeating the far-right wing propaganda like a good little sheep.
Keep in mind that Austin is highly open about his bigotry of the LGBTQ community so refuses to acknowledge anyone in the medical community that actually has engaged with and studied people struggling with gender identity (per Austin it is made up condition regardless of vast amount of medical research in that area that says different).
Key here is that Austin knows little actual information about the LGBTQ community (ie facts derived through scientific research and study). He merely spews his personal emotional outrage about something that makes him uncomfortable using talking points fed to him but other deeply uninformed people. Notice the lack of any supporting data, evidence or even an anecdotal story to back his opinion that schools groom children or the lie that schools promote gender change against a child/family’s will.
Being woke means you actually take the time to listen to those that have formally studied a subject or lived within a circumstance different than your own versus living in an echo chamber of talking points feed to you like sheep.
Yeah, there isn’t a single fact in this letter, just fear.
All assertions are factually correct. Just Google how our students fare in international testing if you’re not afraid of the truth. We generally rank about 27th in the World, behind countries like India and Vietnam. And that’s just the letter’s first sentence.
– You just can’t handle the truth, “Juan”.
So it sounds like somebody just bought a new thesaurus. Or maybe someone just got a copy of that new computer program that writes your papers for you.
And I really like how you managed to redefine “woke” to suit you.
Also, before you start in on me as well, my baby brother (God rest his soul) was gay, and more then once I stood shoulder to shoulder with him even though I did not approve of his lifestyle, which he knew.
Love the sinner, hate the sin.
And as for the reference to being “…a good little sheep.” I seem to remember an old saying about a pot, a kettle, and name calling.
Again, you make an argument with not supporting argument. For example, what is your definition of woke? How was my definition different and ‘incorrect’. We are all well aware of our dislike for each other, so no need to restate the obvious.
And what, for example, is your definition of “redneck” ?
Chris the Bigot is trying to turn this into a debate about his favorite fixation: sexual perversion (and trying to use that to smear me).
However, the letter concerns the inadequacies and malfeasance of the US government schools. And it’s all true – and they know it.
I have asked you twice what you think I am a bigoted against. You clearly are bigoted against LGBTQ community (Referring to them as perverts repeatedly for example). I am always opening to hearing critical feedback and improving. Or…are you just name calling due to your lack of ability to support your opinion in this rant of a letter?
You are clearly not reviewing my responses in previous columns. I have outlined in crystal clear terms why you are a nasty prejudiced bigot,
Without repeating those remarks, I’ll just repeat one example of your “hate” and narrow-mindedness: it’s barely been more than a week since you characterized us who disagree with you as moonshine swilling rednecks who celebrate our bigotry over the back of our pick-up trucks. What jaw dropping prejudice. What unadulterated, smug, superciliousness. What bigotry, pure and simple.
Remarks like that display the condescension and chauvinism in your personality. And we know that you’re not that smart (despite your egoism) so I’ll translate that into language you can understand – you’re an —–.
By the way, here is another example of how you baselessly condemn other people with your prejudice. You once accused me of being a racist. Remember? When you were challenged to back up your smear you had nothing – nada, zilch – and had to publicly apologize to me.
Now THAT’S bigotry. Unfounded gratuitous bigotry.
Right?
I never used any of those words. Standard right winger making up lies. Paint me shocked.
Oh yes you did. Liar!
Rhino Times Letters to The Editor, January 10th, 2023, Comments Column, by “Chris”, explicitly saying that his opponents probably get their talking points “directly from the chief Klan pooba while drinking their moonshine while leaning over the beds of their pickup trucks”.
I’m not lying.
Chris the Bigot is lying.
Look it up.
Public schools are GOVERNMENT schools. Indoctrination from K-1, thru College. By the time they wise up, it is too late.
“Too old,
too soon,
too late,
smart.”
Hear, hear, Austin. Well said!
But I think they’ve got the problem figured out. Not enough administrative staff: In the previous decade in NC the central office administrative staff increased by 19% as the number of students only increased by 4%. Similar disproportion growth in the # of educrats occurred in the 2 decades before that. So I think they’ll eventually fix those problems by having an educrat/student.
Thanks Healey!
When I arrived at UNC-G I was shocked at how poorly educated the American kids were. My classes generally covered the kind of material we had been taught in the UK as 12 or 13 year olds.
I have noticed that Americans always succeed because of their innate intelligence, despite their hopeless education system. But then, what can you expect from an overfed incompetent government monopoly? You say ever more bureaucrats – and I think you’re right.
One has to wonder what would happen if control and the money reverted BACK to local (county and below) level. Want to bet things would improve?
And finally, for the petty pedants who require “studies”, “data”, and “experts” before they’ll admit anything, I refer you to today’s story (2023/2/13) in Fox News of a defector from North Korea who was shocked that Columbia University was peddling “the exact same” fictions she’d been force fed in her homeland.
Yeonmi Park could not believe that an American university was tearing down capitalism and white men, and advocating a revolution to implement “equity”.
And that’s what they’re teaching in the US education system.
Fox news the great non-biased news source. LOL
Chris the Bigot once again attempting to refute a true statement.
The article can be found at Fox News. She is quoted verbatim.
Leftists often cannot deal with the truth, so – as in this case – they just make snide remarks. They’re pathetic.

But Chris the Bigot, you keep getting your news from CNN, NBC, ABC, NPR, MSNBC, and the rest of them. Believe everything they tell you – and then call us “sheep”!
