It's a mystery, where did 2 million US public school students go?

Anyone else fear they will try to ban homeschooling in the U.S.? Or somehow ban private/religious schools in the name of “equity”? It amazes me how many people still think that more funding is the solution
Here in the Puget Sound there is hand-wringing galore about the plummet in student numbers, school closings, and consequent reduced school district funding - What could possibly be the cause?? they cry. It's on the news all the time.
No one ever mentions the state mandated K-12 Critical Race Theory curriculum, the K-12 mandated sex education, and the state sanctioned and funded sex change operations for minors. Nope, that never enters the conversation so that can't be it ...
The delusion of the lefties is impermeable, they refuse to even peek at the truth, they will find every other excuse under the sun to blame their own failures besides themselves - it can't be!
Washington used to be a pretty red state at one point right? No surprise that parents are taking their kids out of school. Mandating that garbage should open their eyes to the fact people don’t want it but it never does
All of those public school requirements were imposed by the state legislature in 2020 during the covid lockdowns when the Washington statehouse was surrounded by anti-public fencing, the state national guard, and carried out in legislative zoom meetings.
The 2020 coof was a coup on a national scale.
I was waiting for someone to mention Dino Rossi. What happened to him was the sign the Left needed to try it at every turn they could get.
Anything east of the cascades is ignoring half the mandates sent to them. The sheriff in Spokane literally said no one would enforce stuff from the emperor. The problem is how many they are forced to abide by.
It is NOT delusion. They know what they are doing and they are doing it on purpose.
Pride Month in Seattle was a canary in the coal mine.
As someone who was raised Homeschooled, they've been gunning at us for decades now. The ACLU has been Homeschool Enemy #1 for ages.
What grounds do they use against y’all?
I couldn't tell ya details off the top of my head. It's been years since I was reading my parent's homeschooling magazines. But I remember all kinds of stories about targeted "wellness checks" and other kinds of "We just want to make sure the kids are being raised to OUR standards" bureaucratic bullcrap designed to hamstring parents who wouldn't dance to the government's fiddle.
Online school was treated the same and has been limping along for decades because of it.
That's the goal, but the advantage of our system is that education is a state and local issue for the most part. Uncle Sam's main source of leverage is federal funding, so private and religious schools don't have to play along with federal bullshit if they get their money elsewhere (like tuition). Wokies would have to go state by state to abolish alternatives to their grooming camps, and plenty of red states will tell them to fuck off.
Good point. My brother and sister in law have done a mixture of home schooling/Christian school for their girls and the results are amazing.
They are going to slip up at some point, and they are going to criminalize the wrong thing. And then things will get bloody. The metrics by which education are judged have never improved once since the inception of the Department of Education. You cannot force people to attend failing institutions.
Fucking with people’s children is the line in the sand for most parents, so home schooling may be it.
AS IT FUCKING SHOULD BE.
It's only a matter of time.
The first thing that I associate with Minnesota is rioting/criminal Somalians and I'm sure they're overrepresented in the trouble-making section of public schools and as such deserve a spot in this cartoon.
