Want to Protect Your Child in School?

If you are the parent of a school-age child, you must be thinking today about what you should do to protect that child if, God forbid, some crazy nut might crash into your child’s school with a gun and start shooting the place to smithereens.

So, here are three things you might consider to keep your kid safe and sound.

First, you might want to home-school your child, which is obviously the most basic way to avoid dangerous threats in any public space. We don’t know for sure, but the estimates for the number of children in what is referred to as parent-directed, home-based education is somewhere around 1.5 to 1.8 million, a number which apparently had been growing over the last decade.

Obviously, the home-schooled population included nearly all school-age children during the worst part of the Pandemic years, and this was a national response to the fear of kids being infected with Covid-19 until the virus was more or less brought under control.

But the home school ‘movement, as it is known, is more about keeping your kid’s brain free from all those noxious (read: liberal) ideas like gender-free bathrooms, critical race theory, gun control and all those other attempts to break down the traditions and values that use to make America — great!
