I wouldn't want the feds mandating anything in education (other than required education for immigrants). We should just repeal all the unconstitutional laws and bad precedents and allow the local people to control education. When true freedom is reestablished in America and faith in God, conservatism and patriotism begins to wash out liberalism and the culture of godless socialism, decadence, hate, and death, miracles will happen.

By the way, if Muslims get too uncomfortable living in (or refuse to assimilate into) our traditional American society, it wouldn't faze me a bit if they'd go home or quit coming here.

Well, on that we will have to disagree: I think a required American history course could change a few things in this country, if nothing other than giving the younger generations the same hisotrical reference points we got growing up.

I'm tired of my kids calling me from out of state to ask me the name of our first satellite during a game of Trivial Pursuit. (And that was a Carolina honors graduate!)

I wouldn't complain an iota if the federal government had to pay their airfare back.
