Government curricula can thus make children believe whatever they want them to believe through subtle and subliminal brainwashing
The Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, wants to have “equity” in education and to replace the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) with a new law that would include government-funded preschool. The sooner the collectivist indoctrination starts, the better. NCLB already cost taxpayers $25 billion in 2014.
Government failed miserably with Head Start but the taxpayers’ memories are short. Sec. Duncan wants to throw $1 billion more to the Title I program to low-income school districts with no guarantee that it will make a bit of difference in the education outcomes of those students, particularly since curricula is dictated by the wicked Common Core standards with the nonsensical and unnecessarily complex math, collectivist indoctrination, and proselytizing for Islam.
No wonder teachers with a conscience are retiring early after 22 years of teaching, nobody wants to jump through political correctness hoops, they want to teach traditional curriculum that made Americans successful before the Department of Education came into being and before Bill Gates decided to change it into “Conformity Core” Standards.

Public schools are public enemy # 1.
It’s amazing how poorly public schools are run for the money being spent. There is little or no accountability, as with any socialist endeavor. Let’s start with pay for performance, eliminate tenure, get rid of the teachers unions, allow for choice.
That the students learn anything is incidental.
Exacly.
Another reason for the Separation of School and State. BEEP!
Thanks for the ping!
