We sit here and declare our outrage and we all nod in agreement on this and many other topics.
What we need is not just a forum to vent, but a way to take some action.
Ideas?
That's why I posted it. I'm tired of talk. I want to see some action taken and I've lost faith in the government to do it. THEY ARE THE PROBLEM. I asked people to write their Senators and they should, but it can't end there. I have Feinstein and Loopy Boxer so it's pretty much a waste of my time, but the Congress has the power to impeach judges.
We MUST keep this stuff alive. The MSM will bury the story unless the Right makes a first class stink about it. The Blogs are a start but we can't let it end there. We need to throw some gasoline on the fire.
Apart from that, there are already some major developments in education that we should support. If we can get more Voucher programs to pass it will help by allowing parents to send their kids to more private schools. Also, there are full on networks of homeschoolers emerging all over the country. Groups of homeschooling parents who basically lean on one another to provide excellent educational resources to their kids. In the end you often find much better educated kids with the homeschooling option, although it's a major tax on a families time, and you can risk having kids who lack the social skills of their traditionally educated peers.
I guess the point is that we have to stop counting on the government in this area, just like we stopped counting on them in other areas long ago. Government is the problem today, almost as much as it was in 1776. Even in the classroom.
"Ideas?"
Yes, the first order of business should be removing your children from public schools.
