“We believe that children are our greatest resource” and it takes a village to
raise a child so it must involve education, family, church, and the entire
community.
Would you believe this garbage is on our school's website as part of their belief statement? And people deny the fact that there is a liberal agenda in our public schools. LOL! Seriously, I would bet the person responsible doesn't even realize how objectionable that comment is. It has become cliche - thanks to the good ole liberal media. People unknowingly buy into what they hear. I've been there.
It does NOT take a village to raise a child. It takes devoted PARENTS.
I know, I know...but parents aren't doing what they should as far as their kids are concerned. Why do you suppose that is? Hmmm... maybe because they don't have to. They can rely on the parental government/schools to do just about everything for them - breakfast, lunch, before school care, after school care, after school snack, tutoring, guidance, physicals, dental exams, and so on. Shame on the parents who are content to give it all up in order to make life a little easier. And shame on the government for encouraging this forbearance in order to add another drone to the work force. The government will gladly take over your children so you can contribute to the economy. Heck, they'll even give you money to pay someone else to watch your kids. Money, money, money!
We all benefit from an educated populace - true. We need education and I can see the government wanting to make that a priority, but why wouldn't they encourage people to parent first and foremost? Undoubtedly, society would benefit from that far more.
I'm planning on reading Rick Santorum's book - "It Takes a Family". Now, that I might agree with. Reading this "belief statement" might have inspired me to get to the book faster.
