Public education worked a lot better BEFORE we got teachers’ unions and the Department of Education.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Public schools should be abolished. They have outlived their usefulness.
More fundamental transformation. No thank you.

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!
that’s been their goal ever since the day Jimmah announced he was forming a Dept. of Education
I find it interesting that they mentioned the Kansas City, MO Public School District in the article. The reason for closing nearly 1/2 of the schools in the district is due to declining attendance. However, many of the policies of the district have been set by a federal judge in Springfield, MO. Since the mid-1970s, a federal desegregation lawsuit was filed against the district, and a federal judge has forced both the school board AND the city council to sink BILLIONS OF DOLLARS into the district. And when the city council and the voters refused to raise taxes as ordered, that federal judge imposed a tax on KCMO. You read that correctly: A federal judge decided that raising funds for the school district trumped the Constitution of the United States. Of course it was struck down by the SCOTUS, but the judge then ordered the city council to levy the tax.
Things got so bad that even 60 Minutes did a piece on it years ago... Oh, did I mention that the KCMOPSD lost its state accreditation a number of years ago as well?

What's that?
"Outlandish!!" you exclaim?
"Ludicrous!!"?
I don't blame you in the least; I once thought as you do, for I myself am a recovering product of that much-touted system, having never before seen its true nature nor the true extent and cost of all that it has wrought.
You may protest, you may rail against me, and you may speak ill of me if you so desire, but grant me this one courtesy: first, explore the system yourself from a vantage point the benefit of which you have never before had.

Next, engage "The Underground History of American Education" for a far more in-depth exploration:

Finally, acquire resources that will bring further clarity:

This is purposeful distortion by the writer. Thomas Jefferson was NOT "eliminated" from the history books. He was simply taken out as being one of the foremost Enlightenment thinkers. He is given lots of attention in terms of the founding of our country. This is just one more example of why you can NOT trust the NYT or the rest of the MSM to be a good source of information. They purposefully lie or distort in order to advance their own agenda.
I hate the NY Slimes. If it came from them, you KNOW it’s Commie crap. ZERO, just like the president.
Learn to misspell "Syracuse" while filling out your NCAA Tournament Brackets - and YOU TOO can become President someday ...
Then soon after, they hand out the armbands and the brown shirts.
Soon thereafter they hand out those swastika armbands and a week later those nice brown shirts. It appears that the only lesson statists learn from history is how to repeat the conditions for misery and genocide..
Conservative Bill Bennett is not only on board with this, he’s the harbor pilot.
