Families are under attack in public education

Posted by scott on January 14, 2026, 2:09 pm

Ask yourself, who provides their curriculum and why?
It's all pretty much slanted these days.. especially against traditional family concepts and beliefs

Some AI generated searching how family units are detrimental to the prevailing education of our kids

Breaking down the family unit is considered highly detrimental to society because families serve as the fundamental building block for social stability, economic health, and the successful development of future generations. When family structures disintegrate—whether through divorce, separation, or instability—the resulting consequences often ripple through the entire social fabric.
Key reasons why family breakdown is seen as a major societal risk include:
1. Disruption of Child Socialization and Well-Being
The family is where individuals first learn essential social skills, moral values, and emotional intelligence.
Mental Health: Children from broken families are significantly more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
Behavioral Issues: Research shows a higher risk of delinquency, drug use, and aggression among youth who experience repeated family disruptions.
Educational Attainment: A stable family environment is closely tied to better academic performance; children from disrupted homes are more likely to have lower GPAs or repeat a grade.
2. Economic Burden and Poverty Cycles
The breakdown of two-parent households often leads to immediate and long-term financial hardship.
Poverty: Single-parent households, particularly those headed by women, face much higher rates of poverty and are more reliant on public assistance.
Lack of Social Mobility: Children raised in stable, two-parent homes have a measurably better chance of upward economic mobility compared to those in fragmented households.
3. Erosion of "Social Capital"
Strong families foster community trust and collective responsibility.
Civic Disengagement: As family units fragment, participation in local civic, religious, and neighborhood groups tends to decline, leading to widespread loneliness and a loss of shared purpose.
Weakened Safety Nets: The loss of intergenerational bonds means grandparents and extended family are less available to provide the emotional and practical support that traditionally stabilizes communities.
4. Intergenerational Transmission of Instability
Family breakdown often creates a self-perpetuating cycle.
Future Relationship Quality: Children from broken families are statistically more likely to experience relationship instability and divorce in their own adult lives, passing the same challenges on to the next generation.
Toxic Stress: Parental separation is considered a "toxic stressor" that can physically alter how a child's body and brain respond to stress over the long term, potentially leading to chronic illness and shorter lifespans.

Public education is a major part of what made America great.

It has run into a rough patch recently, and the attempts to destroy public education have contributed to the damage.

Traditional family concepts and beliefs?

You mean like “The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost”?

I always wondered what happened to ‘Mrs. God’… and ‘the Daughter’? Did they get kicked out of the family somehow?

There is no Mrs. GOD. Unless you refer to the Virgin Mary.

And she was the mother of Jesus. It’s just the way it is. Males rules. Females don’t.

There are no gods at all.

"God only knows" if there is a God

Everyone else is just spewing personal opinion bullshit.

Well there’s your problem…

Maybe females should rule, especially since males seem to mess things all too often. In healthy families, both parents share responsibilities and work together. With your kind of attitude, I doubt you would contribute much to a healthy relationship or family life. And just maybe that is a big problem in certain religious families and belief systems as well. Selfish people want everything to center around them.

The current ruling women are one of the biggest problems we have!

Could include some from recent past, also Hillary, Nancy, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein.

As a conservative Christian, you must be intimidated by women who can actually THINK.

The facts point to liberal men being intimidated by women.

Do you need the up to date list?

The facts in your tiny ignorant bubble, perhaps.

I live in the real world. I am significantly smarter than you, so you have to try harder to make your (weak) point.

Learn your place.

I easily found a list of women leaders
