Recently, we had a chap on Iron Ink pressing for the legitimacy of Government schools. He even raised the issue of proper socialization that homeschooled children suffered from. Today, in my reading, I came across a quote that exposes the silliness of that position he was advancing;
“The Communists did not even intend to stop with this totalitarian political power; they aimed to destroy the family as the last possible bulwark against their mind control. By 1921, they were specifically planning to take children away from their parents at the age of four and place them in Communist boarding schools where they would be properly ‘socialized.’
Zlata Zinoviev, wife of the President of the Comintern, declared that year:
‘Is not parental love to a large extent harmful to the child? … The family is individualistic and egoistic and the child raised by it is, for the most part, anti-social, filled with egoistic strivings. … Raising children is not the private task of parents, but the task of society.’

1.) Parents, note that if you send your children to government schools you are indeed exposing them to statist mind control.
2.) Note that the goal of the Communist “schools” was to properly socialize the Soviet children. This remains the goal of the Government schools.
3.) There are very few legitimate reasons to put Christian children in the schools that belong to Baal.
