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?

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.

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

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.

To Take Back America, We Need To Take Back The Schools

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.

Talcott Parsons, one of history's eminent social theorists had culture divided into 6 or 7 basic functions. One of those was education. He would definitely have thought control of education was crucial. The progressives have fought to control all those institutions. We probably should take control of all. I would add media to his theory, but he might have it under "education", which it is.

The way to do this is a voucher program for private schools. Let the Parents use their tax money to send kids to religious education schools.

Religious education is way less tainted in some ways then political education boards.

But another thing that needs to happen is more insistence on freedom of exchange of ideas in University. The only way to really change academia is to insist that they cant shut out contrasting and competing ideas.

If conservatism is intellectually rigorous we have all the arguments on our side. Too often the problem is Liberals wanting to silence the voice of dissent.

I am skeptical about any plan that leaves government schools in existence.

Public schools are a 19th century paradigm that outlived its usefulness in the early 21st century. Its primary functions now are free daycare in which children are indoctrinated because their parents sold themselves into indentured slavery.

We fight it by learning to live on one income and home schooling.

One important step is exposure of the covert takeover started by people like John Dewey. In the 1890’s Dewey organized what became a mostly hidden subversion of our education system.

When Americans realize they’ve been invaded, they will fight.

A. Newman and Samuel Blumenfeld have documented some of this invasion in their book, “Crimes of the Educators.”
