I would have thought that by now you would have recognized the absurdity of advocating government school reform. It makes even less sense than advocating the “reform” of Soviet collective farms would have.

Government schrooling is part of ghe overall anti-Constitutional plan to DESTROY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. The inability of the military to find fit recruits is the LEAST of the harm government schrools are doing.

[Original Lurker]

Bingo X2!

[Arthur McGowan]

I’ve said forever that agitating for prayer in government schrools is like fighting for prayer in brothels.

Or whining about “Why can’t we have pro-abortion Democrat candidates who have integrity.”

[Arthur McGowan]

We won’t see that because GOVERNMENT SCHROOLS don’t merely TEACH godless Communism. They ARE godless Communism.

We will have real reform in America when government schrooling is abolished, and not one minute before.

[Arthur McGowan]

Three words: John Taylor Gatto.

Government schrools are WEAPONS aimed at the American people. They are SUCCEEDING at the tasks they were designed to do: Churn out illiterates, de-Christianize the American People, and get as many young people as possible infected with a venereal disease.

[Arthur McGowan]

FR is loaded with people sho still think all would well if we just made sure that everyone in the government schrools was reciting the Pledge and the Our Father every morning.

[Original Lurker]

Amen, and amen..! I get it.

[leaning conservative]

I looked up Gatto......quite interesting & he actually knows what he speaks of from a standpoint of experience. What book do you recommend as a first read?

[ChessExpert]

I was reading this to find out where the author was coming from. I soon gave up. I got down to:

“Surely, the Military Establishment has an obligation, indeed a duty, to make the Education Establishment do a better job.”

The author does not seem to realize that the Department of Defense (DoD) has a limited mission. Contrary to Obama, it is not to “save” the environment. Contrary to this author, DoD is not the Department of Education. Even the Department of Education has (should have) a limited role as education is mostly a local function.

Doesn’t the author realize that it is Congress that has the power of the purse? It is against the law for DoD to spend money for any purpose besides those for which funds have been appropriated and authorized by Congress.

DoD may well complain about the quality of our high school graduates. This article provides a shining example of ignorance, thereby supporting the assertion that our schools produce students (to include the author of the article) who are not intellectually equipped to be citizens and vote responsibly.

[Arthur McGowan]

Just start reading until you have read them all.

[Arthur McGowan]

“...education is mostly a local function.”

CORRECTION:

Educating is entirely a parental function.

Government schools should not exist.

Very few private schools should exist.

Thanks so much for that link-—very interesting.

I still find the 70% figure to be high-—but have nothing to support my feeling other than observation.

Again,thank you.

first things first... ABOLISH the teachers union!!!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well all that and they are communists.

[trebb]

It’s the same education system that produces the PC?LGBT-loving folks that the Pentagon has been adopting as “good for the military”.....

[FreedomPoster]

"Our Nation is at risk. Our once unchallenged preeminence in commerce, industry, science and technological innovation is being overtaken by competitors throughout the world.... the educational foundations of our society are presently being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a Nation and as a people. What was unimaginable a generation ago has begun to occur- others are matching and surpassing our educational attainments.

If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war. As it stands, we have allowed this to happen to ourselves.... We have, in effect, been committing an act of unthinking, unilateral educational disarmament."

-- Glenn Seaborg, August 1991

With all the “charter” schools, “”magnet” schools”, Montessori schools, midnight-basketball, the Internet, etc., the kids are less educated and capable than ever before.
