If the governments push to nationalize health care is successful, Congress and the administration will soon turn to one of their other stated priorities: education.

If we are going to have a Department of Education, the only thing that they need to be doing is:
Specifying the standard test to be taken to assign grade level for students who move from state to state.
To: Publius772000
And most of all, it will take a president who is honest about the challenges we face who doesnt just tell everyone what they want to hear, but what they need to hear.Sadly, you aren't that president, Mr. Obama.

My biggest fear is that they push for a “nationalized” Police Force.. Basically a police force like the one in Escape from New York..

Education is already dominated by liberals. They have the teachers unions sewn up nicely...Why do you think Vouchers are such a big deal...they would allow parents and students to be free of Gov’t and make their own choices....
No Barry already has the Media,Education, Banking, Manufacturing......Pretty much the whole thing.......If he gets health care America is officially the Socialist States of America

You’re absolutely right... I didn’t mean to imply that they had little control at the moment. But it’s still not centralized in an official capacity. States and localities still have a lot of sway over their schools.
By appealing to the incessant failures of the public schools and using the same line of logic that they’re currently using with health care, however, the federal government could more effectively rid the market of competition from private and home schools.

That’s a “line in the sand”,
just to let you/them know.
That’s as big of a line in the sand as gun confiscation.

If the government's push to nationalize health care is successful, Congress and the administration will soon turn to one of their other stated priorities: education.Absolutely correct.
And they will have been given more than ample help from so-called elected officials and candidates who approved of and campaigned for massive, intrusive federal programs like No Child Left behind.

Any homeschooler who didn’t know this already, wasn’t paying attention.

Any homeschooler who didnt know this already, wasnt paying attention.Strangely, there are a lot of left wing homeschoolers who don't see danger in Obama and Socialism.

[Education reform] will require a willingness to break free from the same debates that Washington has been engaged in for decades" This is ALWAYS Obama-speak for "Republicans needs to shut up so we can tax the hell out of everything that moves and spend more money than will ever exist."
