Parental choice and school vouchers are the answer to the parent and studens' prayer. Only a fascist, 'progressive' control freak would object to that. Sorry, 'progressives': you cannot control the thoughts of every child everywhere, and cannot stop their parents from acting in their best interests. You do not always and automatically know better than everyone else, despite your clear and continuous notion, otherwise...and you cannot and will not ever control every person's life. Your dream's dead, and always has been. Is this yet another hill you wish to defend to the end? I thought not. When it comes to true confrontation you just haven't the guts for it.

The Justice Department's primary argument is that letting students leave for vouchered private schools can disrupt the racial balance in public school systems that desegregation orders are meant to protect.

Gotta force hardworking white kids into the cages with the feral gang banger Treyvon crowd to make the "community" feel better about itself, doncha know.

yeah, it's the Washington DC school voucher program all over again...
"advancement/achievement for (the) elites; but not
for the smelly underclass, the great unwashed peons.."

If conservatives are looking for a culture-changing legislative battle that is WINNABLE, this is it.

And to hell with the Justice Department and their communist schools.

Vouchers are not part of the grand plan: Dumb down the populace, beat down the successful, collect all the riches from those who have worked, and dole out sustenance level rations to the serfs in tiny bits to keep them dependent on the emperor.

The INJUSTICE Dept. is Actually saying that BLACKS MUST REMAIN IN THESE AWFUL SCHOOLS!!!

WHEN....WHEN are Blacks going to WAKE UP and see how the Democrats have kept them on their STUPID PLANTATION!!!

If they EVER wised up, there would be Blood in the Streets....but alas, I think they might be too far gone.

Common Core – The Qatar Connection: A Wahhabi State Skypes With Your Children – Connect All Schools

From article:
The acronyms for America’s New World Order education are mind-numbing – all the better to keep you from connecting who is connected to who/whom/which. First, I have found one source that connects Common Core Initiative Standards (CCIS) to “Connect All Schools,” and that is on the “Connect All Schools” website page titled One World Education (OWE).

In Michigan the democrats are pushing something that might be good if it weren't a blatant attempt for unions to seize control. Fortunately it has zero chance of passage.

Senate Bill 461: Impose term limits on charter school boards

Introduced by Sen. Hoon-Yung Hopgood (D) on July 31, 2013, to impose five-year “term limits” on charter school board members (but not on members of conventional school boards), after which they would be prohibited from being on the board again for 10 years. The bill also would require at least two parents be on the charter board, impose attendance requirements, require there be at least seven members on the board, and more.

Until the courts got involved, schools were ran and financed locally. We would not need vouchers if control of the schools would be returned to local control (and elimination of teacher unions).

If locals controlled the curriculum perhaps they would go back to the basic and leave out social engineering.

Meanwhile, your federal tax dollars are paying for the most expensive of private schools for the Obama darlings. No problem with that over at the “Justice” Department, I suppose.
