PRESCHOOL: Reject humanism

Headline: Idaho is dead last in pre-school and kindergarten.

I wonder how many parents just don’t care; they don’t know where their kids are or what they are doing most of the time. But, still, I wonder how many people in Idaho do not have their kids in day care or kindergarten because they are very concerned for their welfare. Many in Idaho recognize that our public schools operate from a humanistic viewpoint, and they do not want them to graduate with a welfare mentality or a tendency toward socialism.

One hundred years ago children were taught in school to read and do math. Now they are taught more about socializing. It is my viewpoint that the longer children are with their parents, educated by their parents, the better they will do in life. How many children really understand our free enterprise system and what it takes to make a living? Humanism has no place for God or Biblical standards. Our culture is disintegrating and the public schools must share most of the blame.
