While I agree this is evil, I do have to ask why parents have their children in these schools in the first place.
In America, you will not have your head chopped off (like in China) or go to jail (like in Germany) or lose custody of your child (like in Sweeden) if you choose private education for your child. You have the freedom to make that choice (at least at the moment you do)
In America, the poorest of the poor is still richer than than 80% of the planet.
In many truly poor countries, the poorest pay for their own children's education, even when there is a "free" government school nearby (see The Beautiful Tree: A Personal Journey Into How the World's Poorest People are Educating Themsleves
)Except in the case of divorced parents where one is just being selfish and evil, the only reason for a child to be in public school in the first place is because the parents chose it.
If you don't like what the schools are doing, take your kids out.
It really is that simple.

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.
I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)
Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
