Schools An Open Sewer
Dear Editor,
In just the last month we have heard of the extent of sexual violence in Guilford County Schools – perpetrated by the “educators.”
Mark Johnson, formerly of Page High School, charged with multiple counts of statutory rape. Christopher Holland of Dudley sentenced to 77 years for also raping children. Richard Gene Martin, former substitute teacher, charged with first degree rape and indecent liberties.
Is this just the tip of the iceberg, the incidents we actually learn about? And that go to court?
The government schools monopoly is an open sewer of incompetence, indifference, bullying, political indoctrination, sexual perversion and sexual predation. As our children consistently rank around 27th in the world academically, and our academic standards continue to decline, so the mountain of money demanded by the education extortionists explodes – but it’s “for the children …”
No, the children are the victims, in so many ways.
Would you throw your kids in that sewer?

Whatever. There’s nearly 5000 teachers in GCS and nearly 70,000 students. Most teachers are fine, most staff is ok, and most students are safe. The ratio of private school teachers that are sleaze is probably the same. And forget homeschooling— there’s PLENTY of degenerate parents that would be locked up in a second and shouldn’t be near kids.
You can’t possibly believe what you’re saying : that a myriad of complete strangers can be trusted more than the parents of their children. It doesn’t even pass the straight face test.
Underlying that assertion is the notion that children properly belong to the state, not the parents – a favored tenet of totalitarianism.
No, it doesn’t take a village to raise a child. It takes a family.
Is your claim that this type of sexual violence only occurs in public schools? Quick google search shows these types of issues occur in any range of schools. Including parochial schools and elite private schools.
As usual you paint a fully incomplete picture to use fear as means to make an unrelated point. We know you hate all things government. But truth is that kids are vulnerable anywhere that they interact with adults. It isn’t political, it isn’t limited to governmental organizations or urban versus county. No organization is exempt or more ‘safe’ than another.
Best way to keep your kids safe is through communication and teaching them awareness to the real risks in the world. But most important. That it is ok to question and challenge authority. Including teachers, church leaders, and any other adult.
You mean the gommet schools?
Yes Miller, I’m talking about Government Schools. They are not “Public Schools”. Neither you nor I own a single brick of any school. They belong to government and are run by government. The public’s only part in the whole scheme is to pay for it, and supply the children who provide the pretext for its existence.
Yes. I am sure stuff gets unreported. I’ll never forgive myself for not turning in one of the men whom you listed in your letter. I don’t want to get into the specifics of it, but I was horrified when I heard the man had been charged and the nature of the charges. Everyone out there, if someone victimizes you sexually, please report the person. So maybe someone else doesn’t have to go through it.
Thanks for coming forward. I’m sure the vast majority of the depraved attacks on the children never come to light. It’s a national scandal that no-one is addressing because of the power of the NEA and the conventional perception of “Public Schools” as being sacrosanct.
I don’t understand why this despicable scheme is untouchable. Ronald Reagan once said that if a foreign power had imposed this education system on us, it would be considered an act of war. That was in the 80’s, and our academic standards have only declined since then.
Liberal African-American activist attorney Ben Crump is even suing Baltimore Public Schools for their gross incompetence. As an example, 23 of Baltimore’s Government schools have NOT A SINGLE student who is proficient in mathematics.
If ever a monopoly needed to be broken up, it is the government schools monopoly.
