Why Parents are Abandoning
Public Schools by the Millions.
| |
If you have ever wondered why America’s public schools receive so much criticism today and why so many hardworking families are making considerable financial sacrifices to enroll their children in private education instead of sending their sons and daughters to the local public schools, consider these three recent headline stories.
First, there is the case in Michigan, where a public school teacher with 31 years of seniority decided to quit her job rather than succumb to a test that required her to "rate her level of whiteness” as a means of improving her teaching skills. This is how the Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) describes it.
| |
After teaching in Michigan’s Plymouth Canton Community School District for approximately three decades, Michelle Mangiapane decided she had no option but to resign rather than comply with the district’s forced political and racial indoctrination.
“It just got to be too much,” said Mangiapane, “The rise of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) suddenly became very divisive… At one point, I was called into an all-staff meeting to take a test rating my ‘level of whiteness.’”
| |
Ms. Mangiapane went on to say she “felt sickened” by this propaganda but perhaps the straw that broke the camel’s back was when her eldest son who was attending the local high school came to her within the first two weeks of his freshman year, and reported that:
Three of his six classes had huge gay pride flags and BLM flags, and many classrooms… didn’t have the American flag even shown.
Her son added that he felt intimidated from even bringing potentially triggering issues in his debate class.
| |
IWF concludes:
The degradation of academic integrity [and] the politicization of the classroom… eventually made Mangiapane crack. In March of 2024, [she] walked away... [This] story reveals just how demoralizing the teaching profession has become for anyone with integrity. Toxic ideology... has all but forced talented teachers like Michelle to leave, and has impeded would-be talented teachers from entering the profession to begin with.
The second story hails from Colorado, where state law now prohibits counselors from sharing their Christian values concerning gender and sexual identity, even if their clients want them to.
| |
This is how the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) summarizes the case.
Kaley Chiles is a licensed counselor and committed Christian. Many of Kaley's clients come to her because they share her... worldview and faith-based values. But Colorado law bans counselors from having private conversations with young clients that could help them regain comfort with their God-given sex... The law instead [forces counselors] to push [clients] one step closer to dangerous gender-transition drugs and surgeries.
| |
In other words, if Ms. Chiles were a school counselor in Colorado and your child came to her for advice, she would be in violation of state law if she affirmed your son’s or daughter’s given biology and counseled them to askew the inalterable butchery of “transitioning.”
On October 7, ADF will represent Ms. Chiles before the Supreme Court of the United States, where she is suing Colorado for violating her constitutional right to discuss shared religious values with her clients.
The third story comes from the State of Kentucky, where a group of churchgoers recently went into a local library and checked out — and are now refusing to return — several books they describe as “sexually perverse.” Among the titles in the library were “My Two Dads” by Claudia Harrington, “Julian Is a Mermaid” by Jessica Love, “Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out” by Susan Kuklin, and Worm Loves Worm” by J.J. Austrian.
| |
Speaking to CBN News, Pastor John Amanchukwu offered the following:
Respectfully, I don’t think that any school should have books that seek to indoctrinate children into heterosexuality or into homosexuality, into transgenderism... I don’t think that should be the focus of education.” He went on to say that exposing children to sexualized content at increasingly younger ages is akin to “mental rape” that “assaults the soul, stains the brain, and robs kids of their innocence.
| |
So, there you have it. With students across the nation, from Michigan, Colorado, to Kentucky, and everywhere in between, being taught the racism of DEI, the moral nihilism of “My two Dads,” and the science-denying nonsense of transgenderism, it is no wonder that parents are simply saying:
Enough is enough. Stop the propaganda. We just want our kids to learn how to read, write, do arithmetic, and understand the basics of biology. We just want them taught that America, on balance, is exceptional rather than evil. If you won’t teach them this, we’ll send them somewhere else that will.

IN CASE YOU MISSED READING
ABOUT OUR SUMMER BREAK:
We were all pleased with our spring finale with Governor Stitt and a number of luminaries. Video clips are below.
For some time, I have needed a sabbatical to catch up on my reading, to reflect, and to think more seriously about my writing. For that reason, we are taking an extended summer break and will resume September 17 at the Oklahoma History Center.
We now have an event team who will assist in our meetings which will oversee the September 17 meeting with Our Oklahoma Supreme Court Chief Justice. Former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft will be our guest in November.
In 2026, we will conduct weekly meetings in the spring, from February to May, in an effort to provide meaningful content for our legislators.
