Halleluyah!!
Politicians are just like 3rd graders playing Jeopardy!: every once in a while, they get one right.
Pence goes on my list, we’ll see
Go Pence!
Excellent. The GOP should have abolished the Dept of Education long since. The Feds have no business meddling in our schools and wasting our money.
Mike Pence will make one helluva President.
We are still waiting for a public statement against Common Core from our Wisconsin Governor, Scott Walker. Unfortunately, nothing will be done until after the 2014 elections.
“Gov. Mike Pence signed legislation today requiring the state to come up with its own academic standards....”
Any form of government mandated “acadmic standards” regarding the content of the academic curriculum denies students, parents, and teachers the 1st Amendment right to free speech and freedom of association. Academic standards are the responsibility of individuals, families, and their local communities; and such academic standards can be established in the private marketplace where voluntary adoption of the standards obviates any need for government interference or government indoctrination.
“”making Indiana the latest state to pull its support for the national education standards known as Common Core.””
To my knowledge, it is the ONLY state to do away with it. AZ and GA have legislation pending but without a governor’s signature to date....
HOORAY for Indiana!
On or before June 12, 2018 Maine will vote to secede from the Union. At the same time voters will be voting to accept the Constitution of the Republic of Maine.
This is a section of the Constitution of the Republic of Maine, which will go into effect at midnight June 13, 2018.
Section 7. Education. All education is left to the local community, to the parents first and foremost and then to the city, town or community in which the family resides. The counties and the Republic are explicitly denied any role in a child’s education with the exception of Militia members while on duty and prisoners while in the care of the county jail or prison of the Republic. The first and foremost responsibility to teach a child Religion, obedience, patriotism, loyalty, righteousness, and to be a productive member of society rest squarely upon the shoulders of the parent(s), the local communities role is to support and reinforce that parental responsibility.
