This from Fox News:
“Uwe and Hannelore Romeike came to the United States in 2008 seeking political asylum. They fled their German homeland in the face of religious persecution for homeschooling their children.They wanted to live in a country where they could raise their children in accordance with their Christian beliefs. So they came to The United States. The Romeikes were initially given asylum, but the Obama administration objected – claiming that German laws that outlaw homeschooling do not constitute persecution. Obama’s administration essentially decided that the relationship America had with Germany was more important than the individual beliefs of the citizens who wished to flee a system they did not wish to participate in. Obama’s administration built their case against the Romeikes by saying, “The goal in Germany is for an open, pluralistic society,” the Justice Department wrote in a legal brief last year. “Teaching tolerance to children of all backgrounds helps to develop the ability to interact as a fully functioning citizen in Germany.”On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to hear the Romeike’s appeal siding with the Justice Department and Germany – paving the way for the Christian family of eight to be deported.”
Now this story:
An actress who was formerly quiet about her political beliefs has come out against what she calls “a progressive agenda” in America’s public schools. (It’s about time.)Sam Sorbo, the wife of “Hercules” actor Kevin Sorbo, homeschools her children and recently began publicly writing about the topic of education.“Of course school is the most political, because that’s where the progressive agenda is coming out the strongest and the hardest,” said Sorbo.“You people who send your kids to school, you have no idea what the schools are doing to their fresh little brains, in brainwashing them into this progressive, liberal—it’s antithetical to America, the agenda that they’re being indoctrinated with,” Sorbo said.
While it is good to see people pushing back against the government schools in America, the problem is not isolated to only The United States—it is a global problem. When it is mentioned that progressivism has infected the schools of the world, it is in all actuality socialism and communism that those schools are teaching. The Romeikes fled Germany hoping to gain freedom in America, but were turned away by the Obama administration who otherwise promotes “open boarders.” Obama supports illegal immigration, he supports tolerance of other cultures—until the culture is a Christian one looking to flee the international grip that progressives have on public schools. The Justice Department is seeking to preserve that grip, which is why they singled out this simple family to make a point to all others considering such a move.
Some high-profile Hollywood types are beginning to smell what’s been cooking for a long time, people like Sam Sorbo. Some of us, particularly at this site of Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom have been against public education for a long time and it is refreshing to see people finally starting to stand up for themselves and calling out public education and the commitment to progressive politics which is taught there. But we are far deeper down the well than a lot of people care to admit to.
It should be obvious by Obama’s actions what the goal of public education is not just in America, but across the world—they wish to capture the minds of every child born and to reshape those minds into compliant government drones obedient to the state governed by The United Nations. This is why Obama cares about the feelings of Germany instead of feeling honored that the Romeikes wished to trade away all they ever knew for a land of the unknown in America so that they could remove their children away from the progressive teaching of the world’s public schools controlled by government.
The crazed progressives know that so long as homeschooling options exists that some children will escape from their grip and will grow up to become exceptional—and compared to the mindless drones from the public schools, the imbalance will be obvious—and the government schools will be viewed as failures. The only way the progressive model can succeed over the long haul is to remove the value judgment of an option so that children have nowhere but the government to instruct them—superseding their parents.
This is why Obama injected his administration into the poor situation of the Romeikes, and the Supreme Court played right along with the global deception. (I heard one commentator on Fox mystified that the Supreme Court ruled in this way since most of them were appointed by “conservative” presidents. The “Bush” presidents were not conservative—they were both progressive types—for the record. Ronald Reagan was a born again progressive espousing conservative value at the end of his life, but spent all the years’ prior sympathetic to socialist, communist, and progressive causes. The Supreme Court is not a conservative body of legal analysis) Thank goodness people like Sam Sorbo are finally speaking out against public education because if more people knew what was really going on in public education more people would be clearly upset. The Obama administration would not be so confident to deport the Romeikes while at the same time advocating the merits of illegal immigration for every drug dealer, whore, and child molester who wishes to cross America’s boarders and plant themselves into neighborhoods in every city of The United States. Out of all those people, the Romeikes are a far greater threat to Obama and the country of Germany because of what they represent—a resistance to the progressive attack on the children of the world—an attack against their minds—and future. The level of attention given to the Romeikes by supposedly the most powerful man in the world—President Obama is validation that everything and more said by Sam Sorbo is true and far more dangerous than anybody is yet ready to admit.
These are not good people in public education. They may individually be nice neighbors, trustworthy baby sitters, and reasonable people who seem harmless. But what they are teaching children is the real danger—collectivism driven by communist influence planted smack dab in the middle of The United State Department of Education. The Romeikes exposed this attempt and the Justice Department prosecuted them for it. And that is all the evidence anybody really needs to understand what the real intention of public education is—and it is not to teach kids to read, write, and do arithmetic. It is to change them away from what a parent would otherwise raise, into a servant of the state and an eventual empty carcass lacking the individuality of the pronoun “I” on a path of world-wide recognition that will only accept the term, “we.”

Yes, indeed.
And I heard on the radio today that the SAT test has been “dumbed down” – they got rid of the essay and a large vocabulary portion – in the name of “fairness and diversity”. Apparently, the test is “easy” for white males, but hard for everyone else.

Of course, this is to keep more kids in the “pipeline” and get them into college, the final brainwashing stage.

Government schools are not public schools. This concept is difficult to articulate because it involves a subtle distinction. More and more I explain that true public schools belong in the hands of the public, the people, – whereas government schools are institutions that are intended to serve the interests of political elites, particularly the collectivists. (If this were not true, the government with its union activists and department of education would not care about how education was delivered – home, private, charter, vouchers or even religious schools would be equally acceptable as mechanisms for educating future citizens.)
To impose its will, Government will strenuously try control the flow of ideas, information, and ideological principles. Yet there is nothing more dangerous to individual liberty in America than the political propaganda that results from government interference masquerading as historical and current truths.

Indoctrination, not education.
This is why they stopped “classical education” decades ago.
They don’t teach rhetoric or logic anymore.
They are more interested in brainwashing kids that gays are normal and that government is a legitimate part of life ( it’s not, government is an aberration, a mistake yet to be corrected).
It extends into college, obviously.
