All of Alamance County’s children deserve a world-class education. Public schools should focus on education, not political indoctrination. In every zip code and at every socioeconomic level, parents must have the freedom to decide where and how their children are educated.
A Scandal a Week at ABSS?
The Alamance Burlington School System (ABSS) has faced a series of controversies, raising serious concerns about its leadership and governance. This overview highlights key issues that have affected the quality of public education in Alamance County.
Support School Choice
Taxpayer dollars must follow students to the educational institutions that their parents select. In addition to public school choices, family options must include:
- Charter school options;
- Scholarships to private and faith-based schools;
- Resources for homeschooling; and
- Vocational and apprenticeship programs.
Indoctrination in ABSS Schools?
Unquestionably, there are many outstanding educators in Alamance County’s public school system. These first-class professionals should be recognized, promoted, and paid well.
Regrettably, there are also bad actors who exert far more energy toward extorting taxpayer dollars and pushing indoctrination programs than they do toward delivering a world-class education. This post provides evidence that school psychologists, social workers, and counselors aim to indoctrinate students.
Support Teachers
Ed Priola urged the Alamance County Board of Commissioners to cut the administrative bloat in ABSS and reallocate funding from the swollen ranks of other professionals to the shrinking ranks of teachers.
IT’S ALL ABOUT FREEDOM!
