Step one: Get the Federal government out of it completely.
Public education IS the problem.
There is no saving public education. You should be writing hundreds of articles and making videos to encourage parents to homeschool while we still can. That’s the best hope.
Burn it.
(tagline works here.)
As a single dad, I sent all four of my kids thru private schools, all while paying taxes for public schools. Other than college, not one of them ever attended public schools. I sent three to public colleges (sadly, left wing) All of my kids are grown, youngest 32, oldest 45. I ended up with one bad apple, but the other three are extremely successful due to hard work and their education.
Step 1. Get rid of fedgov doe.
That is all.
”The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” - Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806.
Also, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, intrastate schooling in this example.
”Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” - Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
So patriot voters need to work with state and local lawmakers to stop Congress from stealing local and state revenues in the form of unconstitutional federal taxes, revenues that could be used to pay for intrastate schooling without the feds ”help,” and kick corrupt Congress out of the intrastate school business.
The federal government’s role in K-12 has to be removed altogether, the Department of Education closed and the LBJ office building that houses it bulldozed away and made into a parking lot.
