When will Ozark parents finally care? If it doesn't happen on the overpriced astroturf of Tiger Stadium on Friday nights, it just doesn't seem to matter to most parents in Ozark. What am I talking about?
Ozark High School is adopting a radically left-wing education curriculum called the International Baccalaureate. The program is expensive to implement and isn't cost effective to maintain. It will drive up property taxes in Ozark, Missouri. The IB endorses many radical left-wing agendas such as the United Nation's human rights doctrine and the Earth Charter, which promotes the Marxist beliefs of redistribution of wealth, devaluing Christianity, and even gun confiscation and ending the Second Amendment.
Ozark parents obviously could care less their children are about to be indoctrinated with these radical ideas. For a town and school district of approximately 12,000 to 15,000 people, only about 2500 people decided to participate in the school board elections. I say, if that's all who cares in Ozark, then your kids deserve the indoctrination of the IB and you deserve the higher taxes that are coming from it. Just don't ask "what the hell" when your kid comes home claiming we have to place limits on the population, that capitalism is evil, and global warming proves the need of a one-world government, since these are all values the IB supports. You lack of interest in who is running the schools in Ozark makes you deserving of what you are going to get.
