I've seen some interest in this particular post, as of late, and thought that any FReepers that hadn't seen it might enjoy the speculation.

Full article is available at the website, and, humbly, I think it's worth a perusal.

I honestly expect a full assault on private education and home schooling. Especially regarding parochial schools and homeschooling, It’s been a fashionable topic in academia for over a decade.

It doesn’t really matter if education is nationalized. Every state has socialized education and every state’s system is marching in lock step with our enemies goals.

This may be the most urgent reason to homeschool yet.

I think education is in the Constitution ... between the healthcare and abortion clauses.

because–liberalism has dominated public education since the 1960s,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I can barely get past the first sentence.

GOVERNMENT EDUCATION HAS ****ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAY ALWAYS*** BEEN DOMINATED BY LIBERALISM!!!!!!!!!!

The people who pushed it on us in the mid-1800s were Utopian Progressives! Utopian progressives have ALWAYS been those directing teacher education and curriculum. Geeze! did this author think Dewey was hatched in 1900s????

From the very first DAY that taxpayer funded and compulsory government schools opened they were a socialist program!!! Simply by attending children in the mid-1800s and early 1900s learned that government had the power to take money from their neighbor to pay for a service their parents wanted for FREE!

Gee! It's a short step to being comfortable with “free” education to wanting other “free” stuff! Within one to three generations we had:

The IRS
The federal reserve
Direct election of Senators
The failed League of Nations
The feminist movement
FDR's New Deal
Johnson's Great Society
The abolishment of the gold standard
A thousand other socialist programs and agencies
And...Now a Marxist fascist Obama!

What is most exasperating is that few conservatives even understand that government schools are and ALWAYS WERE a socialist Utopian PROGRESSIVE scheme. And..Socialism can NOT NOT NOT be fixed!!!~!!!!!!

Going back to having government schools like they were in the 1950s WILL NOT FIX SOCIALIST MODELED SCHOOLS!!! SOCIALISM CAN NEVER BE FIXED!!!!

( Yes, I am shouting! This first idiotic sentence of this essay is EXASPERATING! I already know the author is an IDIOT!)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Barf bag alert! Obama? Honest? Huh?

Where's the birth certificate, Barry, before you go nationalizing the schools.

Every citizen that cares about freedom seriously needs to revolt in their own way but we must ALL stop supporting the system with our money and we should overload the current system just like they have.
