Hi Anne. I have a blog site on TH called Take Our Schools Back. I have advocated for parents, on a national scale, to march on their schools, and Demand that Their Children Be Taught Basic Academic Skills Only, and not all the Political Indoctrination, Brainwashing, Perverted Ideas about Society, etc. and to put an End to the Endless Standaridized Testing that only serves to Lower Standards Lower and Lower as they seek a Norm that makes it appear that children are learning more as the literacy in our nation goes lower and lower.
The demise of the public education system has a direct correlation with Federal Interventions and National Teacher Union Leadership. In 1966, we had one of the top 3 public education systems in the world that did an excellent job of teaching Academic Skills, Civic Responsibility, Work Ethics, and Family and Community Values and Patriotism. Today, we are at #28 in the world, and this Rapid Decline is a Direct Reflection of Federal Government Interventions, including the Creation of the U.S. Department of Education, which was a Gift From Bungling Jimmy Carter to the National Teacher Unions that supported him and were, in large part, responsible for getting that idiot elected. In 1978, the Official National Teacher Union Motto was and they told all their loyal followers: "Subvert From Within, and Cover your Butts." And, in recent years, with Liberals full in Charge of Public Schools, they Subvert Openly and Brainwash Politically, with total abandon. Thus, you have Public School Teachers who Openly Ridicule a 5th grade child who says, "My folks voted for Senator McCain." Thus, you have Public School Teachers, Teaching Their Kindergarteners and other elementary school children to sing things like, "Ummm Good, Obama." These are the sorts of things that were practiced in Hitler's Germany and Mao's China, and still are taught in Cuba, Venezuela, China, Iran and in other Totalitarian Countries. Wake Up America, Take Your Children and Their Schools back and put them under Local, Community Rule. That is where they belong and that is where they were for over 200 years and we had Excellent Outcomes of Literate Citizens who had the skills to learn, work, and grow, and they Built This Nation.
