The Future of American Publick Skoolz?
By Debbie Schlussel
Recently, I wrote about the Minneapolis “public” charter Muslim school, TIZA (Tarik Ibn Zayid Academy), publicized by Minneapolis columnist Katherine Kersten. I wrote about how the school is sponsored by an Al-Qaeda/HAMAS charity, and how there are many schools like this in Ohio, Michigan, and elsewhere. As I wrote, the school violates the separation between church and state, but not the separation between mosque and state, which doesn’t seem to exist.
Well, here’s the future of American tax-funded public education, b/c we, our President, and the powers that be in this country did nothing (by Cartoonist/Illustrator Roger Latham):
Reminds me of this . . .

One of the strongest arguments for public education used to be the idea of assimilation, that the public schools helped promote homogeneity, and a national unity, and helped assimilate immigrants to our national values.
Obviously, those days are long gone. First, while I know there are some exceptionally capable teachers (some friends of mine & both my parents), many teachers are functionally illiterate & cannot do basic math. Many teachers are alientated from our country, and then, like the picture you have here, many are promoting divisiveness. Why should I pay for this as a taxpayer? Private schools and homeschooling are the way to go unless someone is lucky enough to live in an area with a very good public school; there are a few, but not very many.
