The American public school system, once the envy of the world, is now a cesspool of political correctness, ineptitude and violence, yet its administrators demand - and receive - far more funding per child than do higher-performing private and religious schools. From teachers who can barely comprehend English to the elevation of foreign cultures and ideals above our own, from the mainstreaming of violent juvenile felons to demands that queer studies be considered as vital as math, our classrooms have become havens for indoctrination, sexual license and failed educational fads. In From Crayons to Condoms, you'll experience today's public schools as never before, through the voices of parents and children left stranded in the system, the same voices that teachers unions and school administrators are determined to stifle. Here's a must-read for every parent concerned about their child's future, and for every taxpayer sick of being dunned endlessly to prop up a failed system.
Steve Baldwin was the first critic of the public school system to become chairman of the California State Assembly Education Committee. Karen Holgate has spent decades working on education reform as part of a grass-roots parent's organization.
