So, discard them. Other parents may learn from it and ensure their kids get an appropriate education (which does not mean subjecting these kids to those damned government indoctrination centers).
wonderful. do you apply this philosophy to other areas too ? if kids are raised believing in white supremacy, or islamic fundamentalism, or that it is neccessary to beat your wife into submission, should society do nothing about it ? perhaps we can "discard" the people that hold these views and try again with the next generation. or perhaps we can pursue society wide education that includes these people rather than writing them off as damaged goods.

Given the piss-poor job the government indoctrination centers (public schools) in America are doing, it isn't a good idea to leave education in the hands of the government either.
you aren't. you are leaving it in the hands of teachers. i guess you will say the teachers are educated by government and paid agents of government so it is no different.

the government doesnt bother to give teachers books. the government doesnt bother to give teachers security or sufficient staff. do you really think they do bother to monitor everything they say in class to ensure they are following the white house agenda ?

if you are concerned about the quality of schools, why not increase their capacity and resources ? if you are concerned about "government indoctrination" what makes you think this is the agenda in the first place ?
