I completely agree with much of what you say. I'm not sure how charter schools and a voucher program are supposed to benefit our community though, when we are already almost criminally underfunded in education (just shy of $9k/student per student vs state average of $9.7k/student vs national average of $15.6k/student).
Public education is a public resource that benefits everyone, including people who don't even have kids. Better education means better job opportunities means less poverty/crime/etc... as such public education is meant to provide a ground level from which everyone can start. If parents choose not to partake in that service, that is something their kids receive the benefits/consequences of but that doesn't mean they won't receive an indirect benefit from the public option being in place. I don't have kids and I still have to pay for other kids' education and it doesn't bother me at all. I do have a problem with my money going to religious education. I do have a problem with my money going toward educating children with unsubstantiated, non-scientific, fear-based propaganda.
Speaking of fear-based propaganda, you should really be ashamed of the fearmongering in your last paragraph. Please provide your sources and references on your two claims above regarding biology teachers and smut in libraries. The only references I've found to those is a school in Idaho where books meant for the high school were instead sent to the elementary school on accident, and everything else I could find in support of your other claims is rage-baiting nonsense.
Heaven forbid a lesson brings up subjects that parents may find uncomfortable or that they disagree with. That could result in having to do something like TALKING to their child!
