Internet posters have always been much better at pointing out problems than coming up with solutions. :-)

My solutions, in a nutshell? Abolish the federal Department of Education. Phase out public schools and replace them with private schools. Control the remaining public schools at the state or local levels, rather than at the federal. Drill it into everyone’s mind that private schools are “the norm.” Get people to think of Big Government as a creator of problems, rather than a solver of them.

“Get people to think of Big Government as a creator of problems, rather than a solver of them.”

That’s it in a nutshell. We have our work cut out for us. Unfortunately, it may take a revolution (and I mean that in the strictest sense of the word) to bring about the necessary change. America has turned its back on God. I hope and pray God does not turn His back on America.

Abolish the federal Department of Education

Even Reagan could not do that.

I like the last part of your post. Conservatives have never got that message across well.

I believe the voucher system pushed hard is easier to turn things around...its a sideways action. You waste a lot of time trying to “undo’ entrenched systems. The push is already there from inner city parents for voucher access...the charter schools (public) have long waiting lists.

Lets leverage the desire of parents to get the “best” for their kids...they will be the “change agent” and drive this forward.
