The most powerful influence in directing our culture
— even more influential than the media — is the arm of government known as the public schools. The public schools
are guiding the morals, attitudes, knowledge and decision-making of 89% of American children. The public schools are financed
by $500 billion a year of our money in federal, state and local taxes, which the public school establishment spends under
a thin veneer of accountability to school board members elected in government-run elections.
Public schools, Clearview included, have adopted the
attitude best described by Hillary Clinton: the "village" (i.e., the government) should raise the child. As a result,
public schools have become fortresses in which the administrators exercise near-absolute power to determine
the students' values, morals, attitudes and hopes, while parents are kept outside the barricades.
If you believe in the fundamental right of PARENTS
to direct the upbringing and education of their children, vote for School Board candidates that vow to uphold parents'
rights and dedicate their services to actively representing those who elected them into office.
You may even want to consider running for the school board yourself! Each
year three seats are up for re-election, two from Mantua Township and one from Harrison Township. More information
can be obtained from the Superintendents Office at Clearview.
