Property tax theft for public schools is an endless scam involving lobbying groups, corrupt school boards and construction companies. Their strategy is to stop maintaining a school, claim it needs "renovations," and when that gets on the ballot and the majority votes "for the children," they demolish structures before the legality of those actions can even be investigated. Once the school has been removed they build a brand new $25M+ structure. It's called CASH! You can't make this stuff up! See cashnet.org.😯😠
I know what you just posted here is true because that is EXACTLY what they did in Valley Springs Arkansas which is the school district that my blood money goes to. All of my dumb ass neighbors voted to have my rent increased (property taxes) so that their dumb ass kids could go to the school and get taught by dumb ass teachers how to be dumb ass slaves all the while I got to pay TWICE since I insisted on keeping my four sons home and sacrifice over ONE MILLION in salary that my wife would have been paid for being a registered nurse over the 20 year period that they were homeschooled. Meanwhile the neighbors both work so that they can have new cars every year and lots of nice toys while we drive used cars and live in a house built in the 1960's. I'm happy where I'm at but when I think of how I'm surrounded by dumb ass neighbors with dumb ass children, that's a bit sickening. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/communism-american-style
The Mother that stays home to educate our children is the most underrated person in America. My wife homeschooled our five children and it’s the best thing we ever did. It’s also Biblical. Which is exactly what you’re saying in your writing. I appreciate what you state powerfully.
Critical thinking skills are our best weapon against our enemies. We have to teach these skills to our children.
Turn the television off. They don’t need smart phones ( the best indoctrination tool the enemy ever invented). Read the Bible. Show your kids how to work hard and help others that need help that are trying. Teach them that immediate gratification is a lie from Satan.
I have to honestly say I agree with 95% of what you say here! But I will say this…better leave your critical thinking at the church door threshold because that is NOT allowed in church. You just have to believe by faith brother!
Your right. Don’t follow the Man you’re listening to at Church. You gotta read and Discern spiritual truths on your own. That’s exactly what the Word tells us.
Must be why I was a grasshopper for most of my life. Seeking someone that actually made some sense. And when I found a niche that seemed to make sense, that was blown away by "The Age of Reason" by Thomas Paine. I guess my creator was trying to tell me something. That reason trumps religion.
The mayor of the town where I'm from had a hand in the illegal demolition of our elementary school. Imagine being so corrupt and so greedy that you help destroy a beloved cultural icon built by your own grandfather! It's bad enough that families like yours double pay when you either homeschool or work to pay for private school. But now they are taking senior communities in unincorporated lands, inducting them into cities and then those seniors who already paid into the system and saved what they could to retire in low tax areas are once again financially responsible for the schools in the city. It's sad how many dumb people I know keep voting for more government and higher taxes here in Wokeville, USA. If I had children they would never step foot in a public school!
“Every politically controlled educational system will inculcate the doctrine of state supremacy sooner or later. . . . Once that doctrine has been accepted, it becomes an almost superhuman task to break the stranglehold of the political power over the life of the citizen. It has had his body, property and mind in its clutches from infancy. An octopus would sooner release its prey. A tax-supported, compulsory educational system is the complete model of the totalitarian state.”
Great article. A major issue with compulsory schooling is that it robs parents of the right to raise their children. If you send a kid to school they will, at a minimum, be gone from home for 8 hours a day. They come home, do homework for an hour or two and now it's dinner time; by the time dinner is over it is just about time for bed. So this leaves parents with, at most, 1-2 hours per school day to be with their kids. If the kid is involved in some sport or activity the amount of time per day that parents can actually be parents dwindles to minutes. If anyone ever wants to know why kids are so fucked up these days its simply because the government is now raising 95% of kids, often using psychotropic drugs to alleviate the "mental illnesses" plaguing students across the West. The advent of feminism and the subsequent push for women to enter the work force completely destroyed any semblance of true parenting left; we are now paying the price for that with tranny ideology running rampant and militant kids who love their totalitarian overlords.
Nope. Not the least. And that was back when Dwight? Do you think they teach even one word of it these days? Thanks for your comment. Are you a subscriber or follower? I hope subscriber. I've put up close to 200 posts in the past two years. Something woke me up IN high school.
I went to school 12 years. They never taught me self-defense or how to pick up girls. Instead, they taught me algebra and calculus. I graduated and couldnt get laid, but I could get my ass beat. And tell you the square root of X to the 4th power. Kindergarteners can learn a foreign language in 2 years. We start them in high school. I took Spanish for 1 year, and they never taught me to say, "Fuck you". Thats the only reason I took the class. They do not teach the spirit. Well said Mark
Great article! There is so much wrong with the federal government and the “Anti-Federalists” warned us that the Constitution would create big government. So, the Constitution has failed to restrain government; America is a failed state. Now what? How can we dump the federal government and go back to Federalism and revise the Articles of Confederation so the only important reasons to nationalize (like national defense) remain in place?
BTW, the term “anti-federalists” is late 18th century newspeak. They were the real federalists!
It created “big government” by ignoring and convoluting words and phrases as intended by the writers. For instance the “commerce clause” has been used to form 432 Federal Agencies. Surely none of the writers had the slightest idea that would occur. The loss of the first 13 words in use and practice of the 2nd amendment is not a failure of the Constitution, it’s a failure of the people to realize and stop it from happening with those very 13 words. The loss of our gold and silver coin wasn’t because of the Constitution, it was because of the refusal to follow it.
“A regrettably large share of our legal experiences operate not in the shadow of the Constitution and its constraints, but rather in the shadow of explicitly unconstitutional rules, actions, and orders. In the time it takes for improper Executive Orders to be reined in, for illicit administrative decisions to be corrected, and for misinterpretations of constitutional power to be overturned, so much of society’s activity is framed by what we might call the not-Constitution — all those acts of government that are deemed illegal only after they have caused enduring harm. A most troubling aspect of government power is its insistence on pushing past constitutional constraints and operating in a blurry legal wilderness of its own creation while forcing Americans to prove that those power grabs lack legitimacy.”
Show me a state that hasn’t failed. Ever. Are you surviving? Has the military burned your home down because you disagree with some policy? Are you in a cage? So it hasn’t quite failed yet.
So we should be in chains before we do something else? Did you ever think you would see lawfare in this country – that’s what Stalin and Putin did/do and the charges Trump is facing v. what Biden actually did is insane. The irony is that Biden most likely committed treason with China and enriched his family making Biden the poster child of all that is wrong with American politics. We have had Forever Wars for decades, started under false pretenses, now we have continued persecution of political prisoners, NIH director lying under oath but nothing happens to him while Peter Navaro still sits in jail (for exactly what Eric Holder did), House Representatives speaking on behalf of terrorist organizations or calling for unrest to those who oppose them, attempted murder of a USSC justice, FBI/CIA abuse (Twitter Files), spending $$ we do not have to fight for other countries when America’s own border laws are not enforced, and the list never ends.
And, as prescient as our founders were, we have to admit that the Constitution has failed to restrain government the way it was intended and the Anti-Federalist saw it coming. The sooner we all acknowledge this, the sooner we can figure out a better way for our children and their children and future generations.
“Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them like the ark of the covenant, too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment. I knew that age well; I belonged to it and labored with it. It deserved well of its country.” Thomas Jefferson
I'm not arguing that it's not a mess. But it isn't a mess "because" of the Constitution. It's a mess because men are ignoring it that swear to uphold it. Too bad there isn't a letter of marque provision for violators of their oaths of office. Seriously. A piece of paper cannot restrain anyone any more than any law can. The precepts need to be followed and if they aren't we are what we are today. Did you ever read this? Talk about chains...https://www.courageouslion.us/p/communism-american-style
Think about it Liz…IF the constitution had been followed where would we be today? The problem is that it is a paper tiger without the militias.
Referred to in modern times as an individual’s right to carry and use arms for self-defense, the Second Amendment was envisioned by the framers of the Constitution, according to College of William and Mary law professor and future U.S. District Court judge St. George Tucker in 1803 in his great work Blackstone’s Commentaries:
With Notes of Reference to the Constitution and Laws of the Federal Government of the United States and of the Commonwealth of Virginia, as the “true palladium of liberty.” In addition to checking federal power, the Second Amendment also provided state governments with what Luther Martin (1744/48–1826) described as the “last coup de grace” that would enable the states “to thwart and oppose the general government.” Last, it enshrined the ancient Florentine and Roman constitutional principle of civil and military virtue by making every citizen a soldier and every soldier a citizen.
I agree and we can thank God that all of the states were not federalist states like DE and NJ who ratified the Constitution without any amendments. But for the Anti-Federalists convincing Madison that a lack of individual rights was a no go, we may not have had a 2nd Amendment. It may be our last saving grace to figure out how to get out of this mess.

For sure…
Government school is no place for a child.
Take your kids out of school. There’s no acceptable excuse.

How Government and Public Schools Subvert Homeschooling and Private Schools

They didn’t subvert ours. We never registered! LOL! Imagine me not registering our children with them. Hello fellow Lew Rockwell author! https://www.lewrockwell.com/author/mark-reynolds/
Must be why…

So you remember them teaching us any part of the Constitution /////////
