Most Overlooked Issue In Presidential Debates (Chuck Norris: Its Education, Stupid Alert)
Worldnetdaily.com ^ | 12/09/2007 | Chuck Norris

And we must not fear conservative curriculum courses like world religion, ethics, Intelligent Design, and the most overlooked yet embedded text in Western culture and civilization – the Bible – which even our Founders expected us to teach.

Provide Further Support For Educational Options

If states continue to oppose conservative curricula and impose overarching liberal educational revisions and law like California recently enacted in SB777, which will in the end reverse discrimination against religious students and students with traditional family values, public schools should continue to expect an increased exodus. (A petition drive has until Dec. 20 to repeal SB777.)

And what if public schools don't change? The minds and hearts of our children are on the line. And if the curricula don't match the values in our homes, then we must seek other alternatives. If it doesn't fit, we must omit! We must remove our children from the public schools and seek private ones, chartered ones or homeschooling co-ops.

Its education, stupid. Its the most vital issue of importance to the future of our country. Its time to take back our schools. For Chuck Norris, that's one more reason for his support of Mike Huckabee.

Hey Chuck, you need to read the Constitution.

Education is a state and local issue, and not the responsibility of the federal government. No Child Left Behind is part of a giant bureaucratic budget that exceeds $86-billion this fiscal year. The federal government has no business educating America’s children by its overreaching through liberal social engineering.

Hey Chuck. If you are all for changing the status quo in education why are you endorsing the same candidate as the NH NEA, the first Republican ever endorsed by that teacher’s union. They also endorsed someone supposedly from the other party. You might know her, she used to live in your old house. Maybe they think there are other similarities.

Chuck Norris is right on this issue and the public school system has been ruined by the liberal agenda for over 50 years now and so many rinos mock Huckabee?
The conservatives need to pull their children from the failed government shcools and themselves from the rino GOP fools.

Chuck Norris doesn’t read Constitutions. The US Constitution should read Chuck Norris.

Go grab a read of the article.

Chuck says Mike says we need education more on a local level. Nothing wrong with that.

But then he turns around and says that NCLB is “is a step in the right direction, but we need to go even further.”

Well Chuck, which is it?

Not at the Federal level. Best Federal education policy? Abolish the Education Department.

Its the most vital issue of importance to the future of our country.

Education is but one area we need to take back! The liberal left has been testing the waters for years and now they think they can do whatever they want without recourse.
They have infected our judicial , politcal , legal , educational systems all, and that is what has made unconstitutional laws possible. Hitting these fools at the polls is only a start we need to line up in courtrooms and legislative halls to let our public servants know it is time to serve the public again not just the few and their un-american agenda!

But if parents who love their children pull them out of the government schools, how are those children ever supposed to learn about “diversity”, “tolerance”, “multi-culturalism”, and “fisting”?

Good point. We ought to abolish the federal Education Department. I don't see a constitutional warrant for it. Or for the mandates Washington has imposed upon the states in the field.

Easy, show them, children learn more from the examples we make for them than by any method that any school can teach.
Back when parents were allowed to be parents that worked quite well.
