It’s the parents that are wrong.
In the suburbs where there are “intact” and involved parents the results are still pretty good.
But when the parents are absent and babies themselves, there is no way their kids are going to do well in school.
More specifically, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate education purposes.
Noet that Thomas Jefferson had indicated that the states would need to appropriately amend the Constitution in order for the feds to tax and spend for intrastate educational purposes.
“The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806.
In fact, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified in broad language that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state poweer issues, essentially any issue that Conress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, intrastate schooling in this example not one of those powers.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
So Trump is right about intrastate education.
Remember in November !
When patriots elect Trump they also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its Section 8-limited powers to support the new president, including putting a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional federal interference in state affairs, intrastate education in this example.
Also consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
28th? I thought it was 130th
If parents are shelling out good money to a private school, they expect quality.
If they are sending their kids to a public school, they are accepting welfare, and the product is as good as government cheese.
Such parents can say what they will about “their” neighborhood schools being superior, or about how their taxes are paying for the product, but if they’re sending their children to government schools they do not care about the quality.
They don’t obtain food from food banks because they’re choosy about what goes in their stomachs. They don’t live in public housing because they care about the quality of their neighbors. They’ll take an extra income somewhere to buy a car or get a mortgage because a better car and a better house are important, and what they sacrifice first is the children’s education.
Can’t do private school, the mortgage comes first. Can’t homeschool, we need two incomes. Go to public school. We don’t know who’s teaching you what, and we don’t care. Get going.
The Globalists want to globalize school curriculum to be issued by the UN (as was common core created by globalists).
It’s not to make kids smart...it is to dumb down the population so we can be equal dummy little serfs to believe in such nonsense as globalist warming.
Globalism is seriously dangerous and it has made tremendous strides over the past 30 years or so. We have to turn it back. It is lead to enslavement and abuse.
“But education has to be at a local level. We cannot have the bureaucrats in Washington telling you how to manage your child’s education. So Common Core is a total disaster. We can’t let it continue.”
Right...right, right!
Valerie, your an elitist. Most of us took our kids out of Public School because we did not want Washington Elitist’s like you dictaing what our children saw and read and heard and were indoctrinated about sitting in a classroom.
I wonder if you truly “don’t get it” or you truly “do, and are just peeing on our leg and calling it rain?”
In any event, as you can see from the primaries, all the Republican liberal candidates, who did their best to lie about their liberalism, got punked by the electorate. More to come.
Valerie is terribly wrong, but its WaPo, so I’m not surprised.
Education should be completely irrelevant in Federal elections. As it is, Trump is right.
If our current government has education so right, why do Obama and all members of our government send their own kids to private schools?
We should require that all public employees send their own children to public schools.
Communist Core should be ended, the Federal Department of Education disbanded, and the Lyndon Baines Johnson building housing it bulldozed and made into a dungheap.
Of course commiepuke globalists don’t want education locally controlled. Duh.
Just another liberal writer for the ultra liberal WaPo.
Looks like your average Hillary supporter to me.
Any entity supporting Common Core excludes itself from consideration due to unmeasurable stupidity.
So sayeth the collection O’clowns that push Common Corpse (nope, not misspelled).
MSM, for those lucky enough to find employment given their box top degrees and laughable education.
