Child Abuse in the Classroom: Excerpts from Official Transcript of Proceedings Before the U.S. Department of Education in the Matter of Proposed Reg

It was very hard to believe that the kinds of things written about were actually going on in the public schools until my children started telling me that many of these things were going on in their school. Mrs. Schlafly correctly characterized these things as child abuse, & she couldn't have chosen a better title for this book. I pulled my kids out of school & finished their schooling at home as a result of what I read in this book & what went on in their school. Although the book came out in June of 1984, the public school system has changed very little in the interim because the system has found a way to circumvent the Hatch Amendment. My granddaughter is a 3rd grader and her mother & I aren't at all happy with many of the things being done in her school in the guise of education. She will most likely be schooled at home before all is said & done. This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about their children's education.

Child Abuse in the Classroom is about parents who have battled against ideological-driven groups who want to indoctrinate children using modern trend and pop culture as the standards of right and wrong. This is a collection of essays and opinion pieces of testimony that was used to pass legislation to guard both children and parents from having the government use nosy surveys and other suggestive materials on children. A must read for anyone who needs quotes for research papers or testimony in trying to stop Planned Parenthood or Sex educational advocates for the sexualization of children.

The trend over the past several decades has been to teach children in a non-secular manner, protecting the "separation of church and state" in the eyes of the government. However this has degraded into teaching somebody's ideas of morals, and religion. See what happened when the government tried to enforce laws AGAINST such teachings. I just wished it was more readable. The bulk of the book is word for word transcripts of the testimonies of parents and teachers at federal hearings. Quite often, these are repetitive and difficult to follow. Overall, this is quite good.
