Everything Federal gubmint gets involved in seems to go awry. The private sector used to handle everything better than the Feds (who live in another world somewhere in La-La Land with the ACLU for the most part). Education generally would be better if handled on the local level with parents closely involved. The Fed's agenda is not that of the American people on the whole. The National Education Administration should have been thrown out by Ronald Reagan.in mho.

Paperdoll,

Local government education would be an improvement but there would still be Freedom of Conscience issues.

Education is a highly political, cultural, and morals, ethics, and values ( religious) endeavor. It can never be neutral in content or consequences.

So....even if government school districts were as small as a suburban subdivision, the government school would be establishing, upholding, supporting and promoting the political, cultural, and ethics ( religion) of some and undermining and subverting those of others.

The solution to ending the evolution/ID wars, as well as other fights over hundreds of other issues, is to have complete separation of SCHOOL and state.
