High School Health Class
In recent decades one of the requirements we have to fulfill in order to get a high school diploma was put into being, Health class. There is a perfectly good reason for high school students and adults to denounce health class, and that is that health class does not work. Health class preaches forced conformity to a system that is extremely foulable. Everything taught in health class is foulable as well. One of the things health class teaches children is self esteem and social health. Self esteem and social health are two concepts that are foulable at best and are non existant at worst. In health class and DARE teach us that children with high self esteem get good grades, succeed in school, graduated with high GPA's, get into an Ivy league school to earn honourary degrees, and live drug and alcohol free lives and children with low self esteem get poor grades, do drugs and alcohol, engage in promiscuity, drop out of high school, and live lives of poverty. The exact opposite is true.

Pro-Education Propaganda, Trophies, and Awards
During our school years, from kindergarten to college we see pro education propaganda everywhere. In addition we also see academic and athletic trophies and plaques on walls, encased in glass in the hallways in public school. They glorify past student achievements and promote school pride. The pro education propaganda posters tell kids to be drug free, be abstinent from sex, and stay in school until they graduate. We are bombarded with pro education propaganda from the time we are in kindergarten, until college. Here is a question I must ask, "Do all these academic and athletic trophies, plaques, and awards with the photos of students who've worked hard to achieve them have any real significant importance?" Who knows if they do? I would also have to ask the same thing about pro education propaganda; telling kids to stay in school, say no to drugs, and be abstinent from sex. No one knows if all these propaganda posters are all that really important. The problems with these athletic

You're not a Standardized Test Score or a GPA
From the time we are in kindergarten, up until early adulthood we are taught that getting good grades in school will lead to getting into a good college, a good job, and a beautiful house in the suburbs, with all the earthly luxuries. We are also taught by pop culture on television that genius intellect goes together with good academic performance. When it comes to pop culture The Simpsons, Malcolm in the Middle, South Park, Azumanga Daioh, and Baka and Test say the same things about genius intellect and academic performance saying the same thing. The problem with what pop culture say about genius intellect and academic performance is that pop culture gets it all wrong. Genius intellect and academic performance are two separate entities. Children and adults with genius intellect often get poor grades in school. In the mix are Ivy League schools and the traditional ideas that they offer the most superior quality education in the world. The problem with Ivy League education is, is that

A Message to all Anti-Drug Activists
You anti-drug organizations, anti-underage drinking activists, anti-underage smoking activists, substance abuse prevention activists are nothing but un kosher swine! You're all Billy goats! You're all asses! You're all baffoons! You anti-drug organizations are nothing but filthy farm animals! You anti-drug activists are all fascists! You're all Nazi's! You all fly swastikas! You anti-drug activists are as Anti-American as Fascism, Nazism, and the swastika! You have no regards for humanity! You're goal in life is to force your agenda down the throats of children, teenagers, and young adults alike. You support a war that no one believes in and you treat teenagers who engage in non-violent drug, alcohol, and tobacco related offenses like violent criminals. They're not the real criminals. You're the real war criminals. You anti-drug activists treat kids in general like violent criminals, talk at them and berate them with sugar coated language and legal jargon that they're not used to

100 Theses for American Public School Education
1. American public school education's primary roll in society is to prepare children for adulthood and beyond. 2. Politicians, both the Democrat and Republican party, liberal and conservative, or anything and everything in between have no business in our children's education. 3. The laws politicians in Washington DC enact are invalid, unless parents, teachers, and school officials treat them otherwise. 4. Those politicians in the state and federal capitals, who work against the children and teenager's best interest, know nothing about how to teach children and teenagers and are unqualified to govern the American public school system. 5. George W. (Dubya) Bush's "No Child left Behind" law deserves to be treated like the farce that it is and with the utmost contempt. 6. Therefore, the American public school education system cannot be run like a big business. 7. Public schools need only to be funded by county and state wide taxes, as well as property taxes only. 8. Public schools

Books at the Public Library
Back in the 2000's I frequented the public library. When I did I at times would go read books on subjects about our major societal woes and moral issues; child sexual abuse, child abuse, domestic violence, incest, rape, teen pregnancy, alcoholism and underage drinking, sexual harassment, violence in schools, children with disabilities, poverty and homelessness, drug abuse, and drug screenings, gun control, the death penalty, and dropping out of high school. What I found in many of these library books are inaccurate and misinforming, stories of people who've been in certain horrible situations who only go by their first names only, one-sided stories with personal biases, passing the buck and blaming the wrong people for our societal woes, and insisting the only solutions to these societal woes are more conventional and increasingly conservative solutions, which do the exact opposite of it's intended purposes. Personally I do not trust any of the literacy at the library. I have a good
