I don't mind being an active parent. Hell, I have to be. He's three. And I'll continue to be active throughout his life until he's fully grown and out on his own. I don't want to end up like a Helicopter parent but at the same time, again, parents should be able to trust these school systems to not indoctrinate their political and agenda pushing narratives onto them.

You wanted God and American Flag worship removed from school. No more pledging allegiance. Fine. Don't turn around now only to promote pseudoscience and Rainbow Flag worship. Because it sure as [BLEEP] feels that way every time I see something. Go watch some of those PTA meetings and parents going off at schoolboard meetings. Those are valid. It's not like their concerns are falling out of the sky or it's trendy to take time out of your schedule being an employee somewhere or parent to [BLEEP] go off on people you're trusting with your children essentially 30+ hours a week.

I get the parent Vs. teaching aspect. Children need to be taught these things at home. But, also, don't teach them a bunch of BS either. Otherwise, you're probably going to get an unruly child that's already been fully indoctrinated at home.

Look into charter schools near you as well. Being a charter school alone doesn't necessarily guarantee anything, but some are brought into existence specifically because of the concerns you mention. If you haven't looked into them yet, do it now. Some will be difficult to get into when it's time for him to start school. The more of a head start you have, the better your odds of getting in.

Yeah. We're considering that route. Maybe even a Montessori style education earlier on. He's high energy already for his age. I can already sense them coming down on him and trying to medicate him early. I think if he can go outside and learn while being active most of the time or something that's more engaging it should benefit his development earlier on. I never want to see my son's light dim or his sense of fire and energy burnout. It makes him who he is.

It would crush my [BLEEP] spirit.
