Obamanation wants the Protestant and Catholic schools to disappear and be replaced by a federalized school system. What could be more evident when you read his remarks? He's growing more lunatic by the day.

His personal mind-set on schooling is part of the communist agenda as we all know. No more local control of the schools....plus a determined agenda for the State to eventually control the minds of all little skulls full of mush.

I was fortunate to attend a Missouri Synod parochial school. By the end of first grade I knew how to sing the whole Hallelujah chorus and had memorized all the names of the Books of the Bible.

By the end of the second grade I could recite the U.S. Constitution and the Gettysburg address by heart.

Well, I'm exaggerating a little, but not by much. What a no-nonsense, comprehensive education I received during the formative years.

I bank a lot on parochial schools and home-schooling to provide the moral, well-educated leaders on whom the future of our nation depends.

This is called Common Core and the stupid people are lapping it up like honey.

***...the Gettysburg address...***

Do you happen to know the zip code? ;-D

I went to a private three-room red brick school [not really parochial but very Bible grounded] in the Tennessee mountains in the 50's. We had four grade classes in the same room: 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th. In the seventh grade I learned Greek, and in the 8th grade I learned Latin. While I am not proficient in naturally reading either today, I can still pick up the gist.

Today we have one grade class in one room and we hope they can learn English!!!
