I prefer teaching to those other occupations, and the public school system pays more than does the private.
In no way, however, does that diminish my principled opposition to the institution.

Casuistic dissembling. If you were true to your stated principles, you would take the reduction in salary and teach in a private school, because the parents of those children and the children themselves are actively engaged in a system of education that you consider to be in closer accordance with the founding principles of the United States.
By claiming to devote yourself to children who did not choose to be enrolled in a public school system, you are publicly embracing a Progressive Democrat approach to the collective good that is clearly at odds with the political arguments you've made here for years.
You sold out your principles for the increased salary and state pension.
