Time to separate school and state
By Vin Suprynowicz
We keep getting letters explaining government schools can’t turn out as good a product as private schools – even private schools spending less per student – since the private schools choose their students, while mandatory government youth internment camps have to “take every which one.”

Keep government out of the schools
By Jeff Jacoby
In the days and months ahead, ChristianGovernance will be building the foundations for three issues that we already know we want to highlight in the next Ontario provincial election: education, human rights and the energy oligopoly.
Much of this work will revolve around the intellectual foundations, demonstrating the rationality and necessity of the positions we are advancing. We will also make the case for the strategic sensibility of our positions. We will interact with critics who challenge our positions.
Do you still support free, compulsory government schooling after reading this information?

Second, take responsibility for your own life. Pay for your children’s education. Don’t ask me or your neighbors to pay for it. This is the first test to see if you value liberty over security.

Hitler Targets Education Eliminates Religious Instruction for Children:
Our education was nationalized. I attended a very good public school. The population was predominantly Catholic, so we had religion in our schools. The day we elected Hitler (March 13, 1938), I walked into my schoolroom to find the crucifix replaced by Hitler’s picture hanging next to a Nazi flag. Our teacher, a very devout woman, stood up and told the class we wouldn’t pray or have religion anymore. Instead, we sang Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles, and had physical education.
We have posted a new ChristianGovernance video commentary here. It is another commentary on the abusive nature of government schools.
A Globe and Mail report on American research shows what all loving parents who have not become slaves to “experts” already knew, which is that there are hundreds of thousands of misdiagnoses of ADHD every year. They observe that the youngest children are most likely to be misdiagnosed. This is a terrifying prospect in a province that has just introduced all-day kindergarten. It is naive in the extreme to think that your children are safe in government schools.

Not my middle class elementary school in mid-town Toronto, mind you. But my friend’s rural elementary school in central Ontario — and I’m sure countless others where the idea of discipline still called to mind leaving the kids shaking in their boots.

ADHD: Parents of kids born later in year face tough decision Research suggests immaturity is confused with disorder – and many children could be misdiagnosed
By Tralee Pearce
The youngest children in a kindergarten class are much more likely to be diagnosed with attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder than their oldest peers, according to two U.S. research studies. The discrepancy would account for about a million misdiagnoses in the United States.
