Follow this line of logic for a monent. If they are not qualified, then who is? Conservatives want local control and solutions to education. Now take a look at your local educators. What qualifications do they have? I went to college and I knew plenty of people that majored in education. Their education lacked rigor, depth and consisted of indoctrination. Personally, I am not trusting educators at a local level to create curriculum. The solution to this country's education woes lies not with government at any level, it lies with parents. You can't get more local than that.
Ten years from now—or less—people will have very little commonality in culture and history of the US.
