The Most Dangerous Places for a Child to be Are in The Womb and a Public School
By Dr. Rich Swier
We were inspired to write this article by a reader Sue Bird who commented on a column written by Fred Brownbill titled “In the Blue State of Massachusetts it’s Okay for Teachers to Have Sex with 14-year Old Students!” Sue wrote,
It appears that the most dangerous place for a kid to be is in the womb and in the public schools.
Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center Daniel Greenfield wrote,
5 years ago there were 6.2 million students enrolled in public school. Now there are 5.8 million.
The Great Public School Exodus, as some are calling it, is transforming the educational system.
As the New York Times recently noted, “New York City, the nation’s largest school district has lost some 50,000 students over the past two years” while California lost a quarter of a million students.
The total loss of over a million students leaves public school enrollment at a historic low.
More and more families are homeschooling. The reason is that public schools no longer educate they indoctrinate.
Republicans in general support parents as the primary decider on where their children are taught and what topics are age appropriate. This issue of parental rights has been especially important in the state of Florida.
For example Kendall Tietz from The Daily Caller on May 5th, 2022 reported:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law Monday that recognizes a statewide “Victims of Communism Day” requiring Florida schools to teach students about “the evils of communism.”
The “Victims of Communism Day” bill, or House Bill (HB) 395, establishes November 7 as a holiday “to honor the hundreds of millions of people who have suffered under communist regimes across the world,” which public schools are required to observe, according to a press release.
“Honoring the people that have fallen victim to communist regimes and teaching our students about those atrocities is the best way to ensure that history does not repeat itself,” DeSantis said in a statement. “Through HB 395 and the funding announced today, we are guaranteeing that the history of those who fled communist regimes and their experiences are preserved and not forgotten by our students.”
“While it’s fashionable in some circles to whitewash the history of communism, Florida will stand for truth and remain as a beachhead for freedom,” he added.
This is causing insane comments from academicians like Elizabeth Bartholet, the director of Harvard Law’s Child Advocacy Program, described the “homeschooling phenomenon” as a “threat” to society, claiming that conservative parents “homeschool because they want to isolate their children from ideas and values central to our democracy”, “promote racial segregation and female subservience”, and “question science”.
Then you have other leftist activists targeting Christian and Jewish religious schools, often under the guise of front groups like the anti-Orthodox Yaffed. Under Cuomo and Bill de Blasio, New York’s Jewish and Catholic schools banded together to resist the leftist assault on their schools.
Why are Democrats hell bent on protecting public schools. Well, follow the money.
The New York State United Teachers alone accounted for $5.8 million in 2016 spending to elect Democrats. The American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association spent over $35 million in 2020 to elect Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. Beyond that they also ran phone banks and get out the vote campaigns.
Hmmmmm.
The Public Schools
Fox News reporter Jessica Chasmar revealed:
At least 135 teachers and teachers’ aides have been arrested so far this year on child sex-related crimes in the U.S., ranging from child pornography to raping students.
An analysis conducted by Fox News Digital looked at local news stories week by week featuring arrests of teachers and teachers’ aides on child sex-related crimes in school districts across the country. Arrests that weren’t publicized were not counted in the analysis, meaning the true number may well be higher.
We hear a lot about racism and white supremacy from groups like Black Lives Matter and the Democrat Party. But when you look at the numbers it is public schools and the womb that are the most dangerous places for a black child.
Note in the chart below that the average students in the lower income who are not reading proficiently is 80% comparted to higher income students at 49%.

All of these numbers are very, very bad. Public schools are not doing their jobs to teach reading, writing, arithmetic and the sciences. If you can’t read you can’t write. If you can’t read or write you can’t cypher or read science books.
The Womb
There is a lot of malinformation or malicious information about abortion. Malinformation is having or showing a desire to cause harm to someone; given to, marked by, or arising from malice or malicious gossip. Killing black babies is the mission of Planned Parenthood not white supremacists. However, the founder of Planned Parenthood Margaret Sanger was in favor of eugenics, i.e. culling the infirm, malformed, illiterate and blacks out of the population.

MALINFORMATION
Here is a white woman stating that overturning Roe v. Wade is about “white supremacy so white people can preserve their majority.” The reason this is misinformation is because 80% of abortion clinics are located in or within walking distance of minority neighborhoods. In fact the most dangerous place for a black or Hispanic unborn child is in their mother’s womb. The Guttmacher Institute reports that 59% of abortions are not white. The Guttmacher Institute’s U.S. Abortion Patients infographic shows that of abortion patients: 28% are black, 25% Hispanic and 6% Asian/Pacific Islander. For whites it is 39%. If Roe v Wade had not happened it is estimated that the black population of the U.S. would be 31% not 13%.
FACTS:
- Abortion is the leading cause of death for African Americans, more than all other causes combined, including HIV, violent crimes, accidents, cancer, and heart disease.
- Abortions are performed on black women at a rate 3.5 times higher than white women; black women have over 30 percent of abortions though they are only 12.6 percent of the population.
- Over their lifetimes, black women average 1.6 more pregnancies than White women but are 5 times more likely to have a pregnancy that ends in abortion.
- Approximately 360,000 pre-born black babies are aborted every year, nearly 1000 per day.
- More than 16-million black babies have died by abortion since 1973.
- The percentage of the black population in the U.S. has dropped from 12.6 percent in 2010 to 12.4 percent in 2020. The black population in the U.S. (41 million) has dropped precipitously below the Hispanic population (63 million), numbers that would be radically different had 16 million black lives mattered enough to society to protect them from abortion and raise them to fruitful adulthood.
The Bottom Line
There was a time when truth was external and we believed there was only one truth. Then during the Reformation truth became internalized. My truth is as valid as your truth. Reality determines the truth. Facts support the truth. The goal of science is to always contest scientific theories, test them and re test them.
Our role here is to contest the uncontested absurdities. We find that in fact the two most dangerous places for a child are in their mother’s womb and in our public school classrooms. Prove us wrong.
The truth will set you free.
