The Feds should get out of education entirely.

Leave it to the local communities to fund and manage their own districts.

Right on!!

The school I attended, along with my 3 brothers, was run by the local farmers & parents. Going to the annual school board meeting was a big deal & no one missed the event- even the parents whose kids were grown & out of that school.

Why? because those persons were also business owners who would be hiring us in the future. They had a stake in our getting a good basic education for our emploument skills.

Today- school boards are manned by ‘former teachers’ who pander to the ‘teachers’ & the unions.

There is basically no accountability.

It is a game of musical chairs & none of them are ever on the hot seat.

They turn out ignorant kids who are unemployable & who have been told all their lives how ‘special’ they are.

The government at all levels should get out of the edumakashun bidness. They do an utterly rotten job and we cannot afford to have more generations of kids propagandized at taxpayer expense. Take gummint out of the equation and there will be no more 14th amendment lawsuits trying to force acceptance of lavender homecoming “queens.” The kids will no longer be relentlessly bombarded with “green” (Marxist) propaganda. It is not just because of the federales that these problems occur. There are plenty of hard-core leftists involved on a local level as well. Give people the opportunity to pay to private schools as many of their own gummint skewel tax dollars as they choose and that will be a big headstart toward curing the gummint skewel problem.
