Never seems to be an issue when leftists do it.

But if you really want to get the politics out of the schools, you should get the government out of them.

That would ease the problem considerably.

Agreed! Want to solve the education problems in America? Privatize the schools — ALL of them. Every Pre-K - 12th should be set free. Let ‘em charge tuition (remember, no one would have to pay local, state or even the federal portion of taxes going to education, so tuition could be more affordable...) Abolish the federal Dept of Education (one of the few failures of Ronald Reagan as President), toss out all those stupid federal test requirements, programs, measurements, regulations, etc...NONE of the Feds business!

What of the poor kids whose parents still can’t afford to send them to school? What? Seems to me this is the perfect opportunity for many do-gooder liberals who, coincidentally would be OUT OF WORK because their cushy bureaucratic federal education jobs would be gone! They would be PERFECT to actually RAISE support, solicit CONTRIBUTIONS from their wonderfully giving and charitable Liberal friends and networks, and teach these kids in the CLASSROOM setting, with them, daily! :-D And, if they decided that wasn’t their “cup o’ tea,” I’m quite sure the Catholic Church would expand their parochial schools (not to mention a host of Baptists and other Protestant and religious groups!), and Private schools would institute new outreach programs, and private educational corporations — seeing the great opportunity to make a buck and train future employees and entrepreneurs — would JUMP at the chance to build successful teaching programs, school systems, etc... Heck, the States could even RENT OUT the old school building TO these groups — and LET THE PARENT DECIDE WHERE their kids attend school, and WHAT they learn there....

Just thinking out loud folks....Sorry...
