I'm not against education, I'm against the teachers' unions.  During my schooling years, I was fortunate to have had some very good teachers.  There was one guy, though, who was a total creep and pervert, and furthermore treated his classroom as a nursery class.  No work, nothing.  BUT he had tenure.  The parents fought this guy for YEARS.  Also, when I student taught, my lead teacher would spend her class times reading novels (to herself) and writing personal letters.  I quit the teaching raquet.

Don't have time to research a closer test to before the lib-nazis got in charge of public edumication but I have $100 that says not more than 3% of the DUchebags could pass this:

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I wonder how many people in America, today, could pass this test, be they Democrat, DUer, Republican, conservative, educated or edumacated?

Hate = not spending someone else's money on it.

It also means not supporting the NEAs monopoly on indoctrination and brainwashing of children.
Stand up for what is right, even if you must stand alone.

Personally, I don't find where the COTUS grants the power to the Federal government to create a Department of Education.

I'm a firm advocate of the Enumerated Powers Act.

Why Do Republicants Hate the sludge we currently call "Education?"

Quote
School Clams Up on 'Gay' Pledge Cards Given to Kindergartners

A California school system refuses to say what action, if any, it will take after it received complaints about a kindergarten teacher who encouraged her students to sign "pledge cards" in support of gays.



.......

Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute, the group representing Voelker, said parents at the Faith Ringgold School weren't notified of what was going to take place in the classroom.

He said that teaching students as young as pre-school about gay, lesbian and transgender issues is common in California, but that there are "all kinds of material the average parent could find highly objectionable or potentially harmful" to their children.


...........

"How do you teach a 5-year-old to sign a pledge card for lesbian, gay and transgender issues without explaining what transgender and bisexual is?" asked Sonja Eddings Brown, a spokeswoman for Protect Marriage California.

Because you and your moron buddies have destroyed it!

Public education is a great idea, maybe someday we will have it here instead of the wasteful, partisan group-think factories that pretend to the title now.

Ya know Tank, we used to have that. Back when we were just a young country, each little town across the west/midWest, had the little school house. If you take a drive across Red State country, off the beaten trail, you can still find them. Most are perched atop of a hill, where you can identify them for miles around. Ever seen the highschool graduation test from the early 1900's? It's incredible! Not a chance I could have passed it!

Wasn't until the unions we started getting stupid! Big surprise! The students then were a heck of a lot smarter than the teachers of today!
