What do you stand for in this case?
The actions that Daniels has praised are those that do away with tenure based on seniority, force teacher accountability based strictly on performance and allow for charter schools.
These actions are being fought tooth and nail by the teachers unions and the socialist party.
So, again, where do you stand?
Where does Daniels stand? If I remember correctly, he caved to the Unions when he had a chance to fight them during the Wis. public employee battle. And, this guy just said this week that he's not prepared to debate "the one" on foreign policy. Now he's praising Obama aolng with Duncan?
I'm not from IN but there's not that much there as far as him being a national leader if he decides to waste his time in the '12 race, he sounds like McCain.
Correct me if I'm wrong since I don't follow IN politics.
The road to qulaity education is very simple:
Set high standards.
Maintain disipline.
Involve the parents.
Currently, our shcools lower the standards, refuse to maintain discipline and the unions exclude parental involvement.
Administratively, run the school systems locally and keep the federal propaganda machine out of the schools. I have a granddaughter in the fifth grade in a very prestigious PUBLIC school in a very wealthy area. As an example of the liberal group think being perpetrated on our youth, she knows who Rachel Carson and Martin Luther King were, but she had not been taught who Adolph Hitler was. We are raising children in a fantasy world with the Department of Education’s national curricla initiative leading the charge.
The Federal role in education should be to keep the hell out. That’s where I stand. And on the need for MORE national involvement in our schools, I do not stand with Mitch Daniels. Our schools not be leftwing indoctrination centers. Mitch Daniels supports Obama’s cultural revolution. I do not. Indiana knows better than Washington. So does every other state and local community.
