IF the people vote on it and agree with having that kind of governmental oversight then fine,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Please, please, please think about what you have written above. Instead, what’s needed is complete privatization.
Please think about this. Education is fundamentally at its very core a process of cultural, political, and religious indoctrination. It is **never**, and never can be, religiously, culturally, or politically neutral in its content or consequences.
Therefore....If we have the citizens voting about what should be included or excluded from government run and owned schools, we immediately set up a situation where factions and groups of citizens get **very mad** at each other as they fight for control of the government school curriculum. Of course this competition becomes fierce and acrimonious! Why? Answer: Because the winner of the curriculum wars wins the hearts and minds of the next generation of voters!
There is only one thing that government schools do well ( and this would be true even if school districts were the size of a suburban housing subdivision), they get citizens very mad at each other!
Solution: We must work to begin the process of privatizing K-12 education. We must begin the process of having complete separation of school and state.
**ALL** government schools are ( and always have been) a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination.
Might have been poor phraseology as I agree with your arguments. When government gets involved it does so as an extension of the people. Now, I am NOT saying that this means they (government) involved the people in education decisions...after all, Pelosi and Reid demonstrate they do not want the people involved and see themselves as higher than any citizen. However, by absence we are involved too as we empower bad leadership to take our non-involvement as approval for their despicable actions.
Equality of OUTCOME is not any kind of right and government should NOT be involved in that. Equality of access is not a right either as you need to meet standards to get into any organization. Education is not a right, but it IS a fundamentally important aspect to the greatness or weakness of our nation and thus completly in the public interest. To that end government should only be involved in the protection of rights as relates to our schools and not the invented ones created by leftists of our time whose only real interest is their own power over all of us.
Leftists have hurt education and the very people they claim to be helping more than they have ever helped it. It took conservatives to bring us civil rights as the eftists democrats of the day were more involved in the KKK than they ever were in the rights or needs of minorities. yet they teach just the opposite in schools. The sick bastards only fulfilling what Michele Obama dangerously said the other day when sh actually said (to the NAACP) that we need “to change our history...” No code there...just a striaght up assault on truth for the sake of the lying left to walk away from their history and responsibility.
