This is all because of Liberal indoctrination in our nation's schools.

Many here want to abolish the Department of Education. While I agree that it should eventually be eliminated, I think it would be best to do a "conservative takeover" of the Department.

President Trump/Cruz should name a Secretary who would dismantle the Liberal infrastructure that is in place in the schools and universities around the country.

Title IX and Affirmative Action should be cancelled by Executive Order (Liberals can thank Obama for showing us how it can be done!). All the Marxists in education should be purged.

Responsibility for education is schools should be given back to the local communities.

This all could not be done by simply eliminating the Department of Education.

Direct action needs to be done to purge the Marxists.

I like the way you think.

I agree the department of education should be abolished, but before it goes...

* Apply title 9 to come down on any government universities that do not have close to 50% male/50% female students... (nearly all of them)
* Take common core and start applying some “common sense” mandates such as mandatory gun safety training.
* Require schools to have either armed guards or allow staff to conceal carry
* Start civil rights inquiries into any university or school that banished Christian clubs for not being inclusive and then even consider making a “safe spot” that is exclusive

After the left screams and pitches a fit... then offer to just scrap the department. (But keep the changes!)

The problem is that the Education degree qualifications would have to be waived because the degreed teachers of the past couple of decades were all taught to pass on the liberal, socialist views. Teacher unions will have to be banned. Tenure of college profs. should be ended.

Well, I guess I could go on... but you get the idea.

Home schooling in traditional subjects using local and State standards would be great, but since both husband and wife have to work nowadays to make ends meet, it would probably require a group effort within each neighborhood (similar to a private school). Many kids home school on the internet already.

It's not just that. Demographics play a role too.

Millennials are the most "diverse" generation in American history. Notice that the white/non-white response comes closest (at 38%) to Millennials (40%).

So, iow, they're in favor of shutting down offensive speech directed at THEM. On one hand it's understandable because no one wants to be subjected to being insulted. However on the other hand the principle of "free speech" means that you have to accept that you WILL be insulted in return for the guarantee that you'll also be able to speak freely.

That's where education comes in. The Millennials simply haven't been taught that free speech is a universal right. For good or for bad, but also for a reason.
