All the guys at the liquor store are always asking the same thing. "Rodge, how do we get our kid's teachers to quit acting like shills for the communist party?"
My stock answer has been, "Go to the Board of Education; yank every
sorry-ass out of the building and stick a .45 in they faces. "If you
don't straighten up and quit this crap, I'm gonna pop you one."
Which, of course, only leads to restraining orders, people hiding they
kids when you walk down the street, etc. I think Coach Daubenmire may
have a better approach.

“What do you think we should do? I queried them. “What is it you would like to see happen?”
They did not appreciate my questioning; they had invited me for answers. I didn’t let them hide in their silence.
“Let
me ask you a few questions. Who pays for the schools, whose children
are being “educated” there, and who is responsible for training the
children?”
All eyes immediately dropped to the floor as mine panned the crowd.
“Until you answer those questions there is no need to proceed. After a
long pause I said “Let me help you out.”
I knew someone in the room was in trouble for inviting me to the meeting.
“Here
it is in a nutshell. The schools are paid for with your tax dollars.
The teachers, school board, and superintendent all work for you. You
buy the books, the buses, pay the utilities, the salaries, and build
the buildings. In many cases, you ‘tithe’ more to the schools than you
do your church. Yet you have no say. Some “expert” in Washington knows
what is best for your kid, even though they don’t know him, his
parents, or his community. [ I'LL HAVE TO PRAY ON IT]
