Vets denied the right?

Bill. You're a marginal exception to the demographics, with an in-tact family, multiple children, with an extended support network that shares the same values.

In much of the country, especially the urbanized areas, we have many single-parent homes, with a passing-through "significant other" for the primary custody parent, with children raised in daycare and public school, and that's the new norm for a working family.

Meanwhile, millions are growing up with stay-at-home biological entities who no longer work, but receive a check from the US Treasury and the State Treasury, while playing XBOX and getting high with their kids. I've seen it from sea-to-shining sea, unfortunately...kids walking to the bus stop with the doobie left over in the ash tray in the trailer park, or parents and grandparents passing a joint around with their kids and grandchildren, none of them working.

The parents are eager for the kids to be taken care of by someone else during the day, so they can do whatever it is they do at home while the kids are getting indoctrinated at the nearby propaganda warehouse, funded by the few remaining residents who actually are employed or running a business and paying property taxes for the educated idiots on the government dole-out in the classroom, yearning to retire early and generate even more unfunded liabilities for the State taxpayers.

Yes, and thus my point about lack of parenting.

BUT, to paraphrase.....Its not the schools, its the parents!
