PRESS RELEASE:   Warning to Public School Parents

   The public school system throughout the United States has already planned what to do if there is another event such as 9/11.  Letters were sent home to parents in many states warning them about the plans.

    The public schools tell the parents that the administrators will lock the school doors and deny access to anyone who attempts to enter, which will include all parents.

     The schools have been fortified with chain-linked fences, surveillance cameras, as well as armed officers under the guise of the DARE programs.  The are completely prepared to fend off any parent who might want to pickup their children in a national emergency.

    You need to know . . . that when you sign the forms whereby your child is registered to attend your local public school, then as a parent you have agreed to abide by the laws and rules promulgated by that institution.  One of those regulations states that your child falls under the custody of the STATE as soon as it leaves the front door of your house.  It remains under STATE custody until that child returns through the front door in the evening.

   If you believe that the public school system can better protect your child in a national emergency, then you have the choice to accept that security.  However, if you believe that it is the parental right to protect one's child, then think very seriously before signing the forms to put your child into the public school system this month.

    You have a choice today.  That choice will be gone after you sign the forms.
