Sen. Mike Lee has called on Americans to join him in the effort to abolish the federal Common Core education standards

"As a U.S. Senator, I’ve seen the federal government make a mess of everything it touches," the Utah Republican wrote in the email sent out Monday morning.

"And if they're allowed to stay, Common Core standards will be the ObamaCare of education," he wrote. "Common Core is the DC takeover of our school system. It will dumb down standards and cheapen the education our children receive."

All kids in America "deserve the best education in the world. The only way we can make that happen is to repeal Common Core across America," Lee wrote.

public schools are the left’s way of procreating.

“As a U.S. Senator, I’ve seen the federal government make a mess of everything it touches,”

I prefer the statement made by the great philosopher Ringo Starr: “Everything that the government touches turns to $hit.” Far more accurate, as well as being more economical with words.

In Japan they also go to school on Saturdays.

They won’t abolish it because HRC and Jebbie are for it. And Barbara would be put of if they did abolish it too.

People want public schools because they are “free” and in “need” of more tsx money.
