A good president doesn’t make education policy. A good president refunds the department of education and returns education to the locals... where it belongs.

BTW, This month, Perry appointed a biology teacher who disputes evolution as chairwoman of the Texas State Board of Education.

In 2009, that 15-member board put the national spotlight on Texas in a debate that led to adopting standards encouraging schools to look at “all sides” of scientific theory.

It now is considering educational materials that promote intelligent design even though a federal court ruled against teaching the theory that life on Earth is so complex that it must have come from an intelligent higher power.

Defunds. (not refunds)

A good president refunds defunds the department of education and returns education to the locals... where it belong.

Easier said than done. Ronald Reagan pledged to abolish the Department of Education, but did not pursue that goal as president ( Practically, he did not have the Legislature to support him ).

If a President Perry has both upper and lower houses who pass a bill to abolish the DOE, I believe he might sign it. He won't be able t do it with a bare majority ( it will be filibustered to death ).
