The law of untended consequences is always on our side. Reality is our friend. The teachers and their union thought they were too cute by half when they locked down the schools during the Covid putsch. It was a blessing in disguise. Parents got to see the poison their children were actually learning and they we shocked to learn that they had no say in the totalitarian parent structure.
They’ve come for our children and we are coming for them. We have got to take down the public education system.
Parents Fleeing Public Schools Know There’s No Such Thing As A Values-Neutral Education
Recent school choice policy adoptions reflect the apprehension many parents feel about the public school system.

This month marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Abington School District v. Schempp decision that ruled state-sponsored Bible reading was unconstitutional. In recent research, we show that when public schools lost the religious instruction some parents valued, parents took on the added cost of sending their children to private school.
At the time of Schempp, 11 states required the Bible to be read at school, 12 states made it optional, and 11 states outlawed mandatory Bible reading. The remaining states were silent on the question. In Abington School District, 10 Bible verses were read over the school’s announcement system each morning. In Schempp, the Supreme Court ruled this practice unconstitutional.
Our research documents how private school enrollment changed between 1960 and 1970. In states with mandatory Bible reading in public schools, Schempp led to large reductions in Bible reading. We find that these states saw a 12 percentage point increase in private school enrollment between 1960 and 1970.
In contrast, the Schempp decision did not change Bible reading policy in states that already had outlawed mandatory Bible reading; we find these states saw no change in private school enrollment between those dates. These results are after we control for factors such as racial animus that may have led to flight from public schools after desegregation.
