It will be hard to convert America back to it roots of a Constitution and the rule of law as set up by our framers.

It probably cannot be done at all. It would take 2 generations of a completely overhauled education system that teaches real History and real American History. Where would we get the teachers to teach these things? This generation of teachers and then next generation coming up are graduates of the same system that has to be replaced and themselves know no history, don't even know what history is. It would require a 20 year dictatorship with total control of the education system and that would be totally self defeating because we could not come back from that dictatorship. That is why there can be no peaceable settlement between Israel and the Arab squatters. The arabs have had several generations of an education system that teaches only irredentism and hatred.That cannot be turned around without slaughter.

We don't.

That is the biggest mistake we make - trying to "fix' the public schools. They are unfixable.

We have the Internet and cable/satellite TV.

WE use it like Becks is using it - to educate and wake the people up NOW. He's done a Herculean job of waking up the adults in this county - largely by educating them on the founding principles of this country, which totally contradict the Socialist take over.

We put together programs for kids to "home school" through Internet classes...(and anyone can participate of any age.)

Kids have the capacity to learn MUCH faster than in the restrictions of public school. Kids would flock to on line lessons that would let them progress at their own speed - and be able to gat their college degrees for pennies on the dollar on a pay as you go basis, no loans to cripple them for 20 years.

Parents who would like to home school but are intimidated by the prospect (which is really much easier than most realize and with a great support system - which could be connected to with on-line schooling as well - would jump on board to the on-line home schooling.

Kids would clamor for it.

I have pushed this long before there was an Internet - back when I envisioned the lessons through VHS tapes. Now - the Internet is tailor made.

It needn't take generations.

(My grandson, 10 years ago, got his HS studies on -line through an accredited on-line school. Public school was a ball and chain around his leg.)
