Well, since Marxism advocates dissolution and abolition of the family itself, who is surprised to see this? I’m not. The scary part is, they wouldn’t be saying this out loud with such clarity if they didn’t expect to get away with it. And for all practical purposes, in many places they have gotten away with it. We could start to reverse that by abolishing the Department of Education and its state level counterparts.
Vote down local school budgets.
Go to local board meetings and speak up.
Elect Americans to school boards.
Other symptoms of the collectivist trend: Corrupt, Incompetent Hillary’s “It takes a village” meaning not the family; and Osma’s “Yes we can,” ‘we’ being Osma, Susan Rice, Bill Ayers, Sol Alinsky, et al. Also, universal pre-K and free child care for universal free everything intended brainwash to your children and render you desperate and dependent.
The ultimate China virus variant is communism.
Amen, T. Shaw.
Christopher Lasch offered in 1983 that the regnant understanding of the role of parents was as a traffic cop between a menu of salaried professionals.
In truth, schooling is a fee-for-service activity which appears naturally on the open market. It is not a ‘public good’ as economists define the term. The country is densely settled enough and transportation costs low enough that schools are no longer situational monopolies except in the most eccentric loci. Distributional concerns can be addressed through the issuance of vouchers.
Note, we have schools to take advantage of economies of scale and division of labor, to do work which could only be done on a smaller scale if each household provided for itself with its own manpower. The knowledge of school teachers is on average rather less esoteric than the knowledge of a menu of service providers people hire. There is only one stakeholder.
Aaaand, saying the quiet part out loud.

That’s odd. All the way through my oldest boys’ education the clarion call was for parents to be more involved in their kids’ educations.
I wonder if I could get everyone to agree to give me a dollar every time the modern Left calls good what old liberals called evil, and calls evil what the liberals of old called good.

They wanted you in the PTA, lobbying for bigger school budgets and they wanted you to make sure junior did his homework and didn’t generate disciplinary problems. They never wanted critical engagement from you.
