“If we want change to come, we would do well not to look at the sites of power we have no access to – the White House, even the Congress, the Pentagon – these are not the sites we have access to.
“But lo and behold, we have absolute access to the community, the school, the neighborhood, the street, the classroom, the workplace, the shop, the farm – why are we ignoring that and saying ‘I hope Obama makes peace.’ Forget about it. He’s not going to do anything if you don’t do something. Our job is movement building.”

The education establishment is a wholly owned subsidiary of the far left. The dirt-bag Ayers is the keynote speaker at the Association of Teacher Educators in Atlanta this month.
I don’t believe we can vote them out anymore.
Home schooling was outlawed in Germany during Hitler’s era so that no child could escape indoctrination by the State. Interesting that German law was never changed, and you are an outlaw if you try to keep your children at home and give them a Christian education. Families have had their children removed from the home for homeschooling.
I am far less worried about who I get to vote for (and I am worried a lot about that) than I am about the Marxists/Statists who populate our bureaucracies. These people are protected by their unions, so it doesn’t matter who is in office. The Bill Ayers minions are firmly planted and ramping up the Damage as we speak.
“Yes it looks like the 1776 solution is probably going to be needed at this point. I’m not advocating it I’m just predicting it.”
I don’t advocate it either, but it’d be nice to get on with it and get it over with so we can get back to being Americans with a limited government all that much sooner.
Ayers is yanking our chain...lefties/communists/progressives have been running public ‘schools’ for decades...
And then there are those conservatives who would rather have a Muslim in the White House than a Mormon.
“Conservatives are just plain lazy.”
I vote every election and have never even heard of state level educational races.
We do have local school board races but the Republican Party never sends any information out to its base concerning the political stances of those running for positions on school boards.
Of course there is a Washington State Department of Education, and a local school board.
But I do not recall ever seeing elections, on the state level, for such positions.
Maybe they’re appointed positions in your state but in Michigan our ballot is usually full of them. In November we had 2 open seats for UofM board of regents, I think it was 2 open seats on the MSU board of directors, and at least 3 seats for various positions at the community college and at least one seat on the Michigan board of education. Plus there were the local school issues and seats.
There is a bill in the MI legislature right now that would force local schools to only hold votes during the statewide elections or to hold them all on the same days statewide.
Just not soon enough....
