There was a time in America’s history when the Republican party stood for limited government.

No more.

The conservative Republican posterboy and architect of the “Contract with America” gave a speech at the American Enterprise Institute, where he “called on the secretary of defense to give a speech every year on the state of our schools.” Why would he call for such a thing?

Schools are now "National brain washing". Abortion is good. Sewxual deviation (fags) is good. Religion is bad. Capitalism is bad.

THe entire system needs reform...back to when the 3 R's meant just that. This "creative" learning cr** is bunk!!

By force of law, my 4 yo grandson will be going to Pre-K indoctrination for 8 HOURS A DAY in Florida. And my whole family thinks that it’s great.

They just don’t understand the situation...I’ve tryed to educate them but to no avail.

One of the first pieces of American federal legislation provided for funding schools through the sale of one section of land in a township.

See Northwest Ordinance.

Thomas Jefferson also signed legislation to fund Catholic schools in federal territories.

The Founders knew what they were doing.
