A pity there’s no way this would ever make it into mainstream circulation. I’m beginning to wonder if, between things like this and Gruber’s comments about the stupidity of the public, maybe the Left *wants* to be led by the nose by the people it elects.
More evidence that the only real solution is a Great Partition; let the Left have their “paradise”. The only questions would be which side gets which territories, and how to handle getting everyone to the “side” they prefer.
Mainstream circulation is no longer the MSM. It is Drudge and Breitbart and Twitter.

I think you are correct. The further away from the citizen the decisions are made, the less responsible the citizen becomes.
Remove decisions about schooling from the family to the teacher & school board; then further remove decisions to the county, state, and ultimately an unaccountable fed govt and you can sleep easier at night knowing that the professionals are in charge and are unapproachable and that fact justifies your inaction/dereliction.
That the professionals are in effect basically the equivalent of a middle school clique gossiping back and forth with the only goal of growing and enriching the clique’s power and prestige is beside the point. They are professionals and know better than us mere citizens.
All of this makes it easier and easier to turn a blind eye towards what is actually going in schools.
The few that identify this problem, use private or parochial schools (which will be brought to heel by Common Core and judicial decisions) or Homeschool (always under judicial threat).
I am not sure where we go from here if Trump loses...
