To Take Back America, We Need To Take Back The Schools
The Washington Times ^ | 08/31/19 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Posted on 10/14/2019 6:54:15 AM PDT by Enlightened1

"The fact that socialists are openly running for public office in America — that socialists actually hold public office in Congress — should serve as enough wakeup call that the nation’s moral and political compasses are skewed, in dire need of correcting."

Absolutely, positively spot-on.

So I must ask again....just what in the hell has Betsy DeVos been doing to earn her paycheck over at DOE?

About 100 years late.

They tell us School Board Elections are "non-partisan"....

And to take back the schools, we need to take down government.

Federal government - dismantle the unconstitutional Dept of Education.

State government - defeat the power Teacher’s Unions

Absolutely right. Actually teaching fundamentals about our Constitution and our heritage are the most important duties of the educational system.

Even if we started today with 100% reform, it would still take 40-years to undo all of the damage caused by the cultural Marxists, vis-a-vis public education. If it’s ever going to happen, we best get started now.

Yep...

For 50+ years the public schools have been little indoctrination centers... You want to save America you have to take back the schools...

PERIOD.

Won’t happen.

Government Schools are tax-funded and union-run.

Take your kids OUT of the government schools and make the sacrifices to educate them at home or in a private school with traditional values.

I don’t think the government education mess can be fixed - short of a total societal collapse - but the variety and quality of private and homeschooling curriculums can be greatly improved. The urgent mission is to identify the 120+ IQ students and keep them away from government education as completely as possible.

The only way that will happen is to outlaw teachers unions.

UGH, no kidding. The only thing that excuses this inaction is IF they are planning a MAJOR overhaul and necessary upheaval, vouchers, competition etc and they believe that this will frighten the soccer moms as the lying corrupt Dems and their media scare the living heck out of them. So I can only hope the day after Trump wins re-election they announce these plans.

It is unlikely this will ever happen until there is a major change in the USA.
The NEA and DNC rule the education system.
The GOP-e is busy getting $$$ from the Chamber of Commerce.

Even 50 years ago, my education did nothing to prepare me for the real world.
Only taking charge of my life and taking every science and electronics class I could saved me.

The schools, the media, the churches, the institutions...

HOW, is the important question.

Exactly, leftists love to get on school boards. The LBGT BS will be pushed hard from there.

Partner, you have said it all with your statement. People are so P.O.'ed at the DemonRat party and they are also P.O.'ed at CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, and CBS for giving us the DemonRat point of view constantly.

You would have enormous improvement if you got rid of

1. Teacher’s unions
2. Education degree\ courses requirements to teach.

Antonio Gramsci’s long walk through the institutions is pretty much complete. It took them a while but they did it. For us to accomplish the same task will take decades provided we have the same determination the leftists had... which we show no sign of having.

<>"They tell us School Board Elections are "non-partisan"...."<>

In a sort of perverse way, they are.

Any aspiring politician must first "kiss the ring" of the teachers union and announce publicly that they are "for the children".
