Education: Public Education

What we mean by "public education" is a far cry from what it meant to parents and children only one generation ago. Since the early sixties, we have seen a steady and trepidatious move away from parent-directed public education to one now almost completely dominated by the liberal agenda of teachers' unions like the NEA and university teacher education programs built on humanism.

It's critically important today that parents be a part of public education in their community, especially if their children are attending a local public school. It's still true today that some of our greatest citizens are serving our children in public schools. But it is equally true that the future of parent-directed public education hangs in the balance.
