The Trojan Bus

New national data shows school bus-related accidents send 17,000 U.S. children to emergency rooms each year, more than double the number in previous estimates that only included crashes. … The researchers said the results provide a strong argument for requiring safety belts on school buses, something industry groups say is unnecessary and is more than many school districts can afford.

Here's a bright idea, how about stop shipping our children across town altogether? This would not only save the government schools (and the tax payers) millions of dollars used to maintain and run the fleets of buses currently on out streets. It would allow our children to go to school near their homes, so it would be easier for their parents to keep closer tabs on them. And, (it's so obvious it shouldn't need mentioning) we would have 17,000 fewer children getting hurt on buses each year!

Although it may have started with good intentions, busing our children to and from their respective government schools has become yet another means by which activist groups (namely the ACLU and the NEA, among others) are working to separate children from the tutelage of their parents.

If you are interested in reading more about this, EagleForum provides an excellent article that discusses the Anti-Parent Policies in Public Schools, and WorldNetDaily has a very alarming article about how various homosexual groups, partnered with the ACLU, are working to undermine parental rights and force the homosexual agenda into the government schools.

For those of you who think these are just isolated cases, then I suggest you read about how German police have resorted to physically dragging home schooled children to school, or how the Canadian government is forcing the closure of private Christian schools if they refuse to teach sex education and Darwin's theory of evolution.
