Key part is: I chose it. And, to be perfectly honest, my 11 year old boy has more than once thanked us for letting him attend that school. He participates in all manner of public youth sports and is occasionally subject to the worst the public school system has to offer (at least he doesn't get challenged with coaching them like I do). And I when I say "worst", at that age, it is just about always a direct result of shitty parentage and completely undisciplined schooling. So, the morons with any given mix of the following: incapable of getting along with the other kids...starting fights...unable to take direction or follow simple instructions...zero attention span...lazy to the core...no regard for authority...well, at least my kid doesn't get stuck having to learn in the same classroom as them.

If you disagree with my philosophy here, I really don't give a fuck. The results have been measured. Advantage, my family. The less people that subscribe to my point of view, the less real competition for my family, now and in the future. Works for me. Do what you got to do.

This man-caused global warming bullshit, however, is being forced without choice. Its followers treat it exactly like a religion...in terms of the most negative way one can do such a thing. I have partially shielded my kid from it though, because it doesn't gain much traction in my son's school...it being bullshit, and whatnot.
