Typical leftist misdirection. Taking everyone’s hunting guns away will have zero effect on the few wacko teenagers who plot killings. Note this latest kid had homemade bombs. Anyone saying the answer is to take my guns away is full of crap.

That would save a lot of federal education dollars.

Arne Duncan hurts children.

“We have to create a level of tension.”

Arne puts cheap TALKING POINTS ahead of child safety.

This idea is worth grabbing on to.

Allow parents to pull their kids out of public schools.

Give American families a full tax-credit and deduction of local taxes for home-schooling or private school

Pull the kids from the public schools to get them away from the indoctrination of the NEA.

"Democrats accidentally endorse home-schooling and condemn public schools as dangerous."

I noticed that, too.

Hey, whatever Arne Duncan's intentions, anything that gets people saying "Hey, maybe we *could" pull the kids out of the public schools" has got to be a good thing.

Starve the beast - I’m fine with ending public school attendance until the problem with “killers” is solved.

Unfortunately the teachers unions will not go for this (unless they still get paid).

Yes. It always has been. Lower casualty rate, higher IQ.

Very good ideas, both of them.

Arne Duncan: the “genius” who thought replacing textbooks with laptops was a smart move.

I wonder what the NEA thinks of this......they are after all one of the Democrats’ biggest special interest groups. I’m all in favor of people homeschooling their kids and reducing the influence of the NEA.

Flipping Liberals are always trying to threaten/blackmail Americans into doing what they want us to do....while not thinking through their plan.

Keep your kids out of school. If we get lucky, some of those lobotomized Liberal teachers will lose their jobs because their schools won't get enough Federal attendance money to pay their wages.

It’s not possible to have “less guns.” You can view fewer guns. And you can have less ammo. But a former Secretary of Education should know the grammatical distinction,

“Less” describes an unknown of unspecified quantity of a thing. “Fewer” refers to a specific or knowable quantity.

Either way, gun control would leave citizens with fewer guns and less of a chance at self-defense.
