Big Government® at work again!

Public education worked a lot better BEFORE we got teachers’ unions and the Department of Education.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

A free public education system under their control is one of the ten planks of the Communist Manifesto, after all.

Then they should end the local funding of schools. Otherwise this will become another instance of taxation without representation.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Guaranteed to create a huge, stifling and expensive bureaucracy and a population ignorant as billygoats.

[RobRoy]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Public schools should be abolished. They have outlived their usefulness.

“American public education”

Solution:
“American Education”: If the kids aren’t in it, the schools go away.

[FourPeas]

More fundamental transformation. No thank you.

Don’t tell me...”Commerce Clause”, right?

Then we should call them what they are - indoctrination centers.

Simply Explanation

obama a student of before ‘no child left behind’ ...

clinton - pass them on, no matter if they grasped the curriculum or not -— failing a child effects their SELF ESTEEM ?!!

President Bush - No Child Left Behind - a 1st grader will learn to read

obama the workers don’t need to read

Unfortunately, even those old enough to be instructors or teachers now were also FEDucated in those schools. So many of them are tainted against God and Country. Too bad the states didn’t consider this drastic outcome forty or fifty years ago when some of us were trying to bring it to their attention. Of course, they knew. They were Progressives even then. Local control was unacceptable to them. A fine, firm education can only thrive under local control!
Christians need to pray in God’s Own Will for all those in authority in education that they will be given His salvation, as Saul was saved. He became St. Paul. If it can happen to a ruthless tax collector, it can happen to educators, let alone presidents, and Congressmen.
Christians must augment their children’s schooling, and enridh their belief system exponentially. It is time for parents to take back the rearing of their children!

The New York Times thinks Washington D.C. would be a better steward of your public schools than your own community. Big surprise...they just want a system which churns out more NYT readers.

...ill suited to the needs of a 21st-century nation competing in a global economy.

Yea, destroy the last vestiges of what could make us competitive.
No one must be allowed to vote with their feet.
Single Payer, Single Curriculum, Single Thought -> Single party.

that’s been their goal ever since the day Jimmah announced he was forming a Dept. of Education

Based of course on the fact that’s how European countries with 1/10 our population do it
