More Evidence Against Government Schools

I did a couple of posts recently about Bruce Shortt's book The Harsh Truth About Public Schools. One of the things that many parents think is that "those kinds of things" only happen at "other" schools. So here is a little eye-opener. There was an article today in World Net Daily talking about a one hundred or so students being withdrawn from a state's public schools. This exodus was due to the "Gender Bender" day (where girls were encouraged to dress as boys and boys were encouraged to dress as girls) that was offered as part of homecoming week. The state in question. Not California (that was last year). Not New York. Not Washington. No the state was Iowa. Yes, religiously/socially conservative Iowa where socially conservative Mike Huckabee is currently is polling 1st. Oh, but theses sorts of things aren't happening at your government school.
