Trump has actually said he wants to abolish the Dept of Ed. He has said he wants schools to be administered locally by teachers and parents. He wants all types of learning available and is also a strong supporter of ‘shop class’/vocational skills training as opposed to thinking everyone should go to a traditional college and get useless degrees. He knows if we are going to build things in the USA we must also be able to maintain them. So we need engineers and mechanics, etc.
While Trump was campaigning everyone was freaking out “no he should do this, why did he do that, blah blah”. nothing has changed now everyone is freaking out “why did he pick so and so, he should do this blah blah”.
HAVE A LITTLE FAITH PEOPLE!
I am merely trying to point out that the ED problem requires an ear from more than the upper ranks people. He failed to give an ear to the grassroots. We cannot maintain a Constitutional Republic when American citizens are nowhere close to being served in the public system and yet commandeered by corporate interests on the one side or Feds on the other.
This School Choice/Charter model is what the new pick supports. It is scary to me. The kids will continue to be brainwashed.
Excerpt from Robin Eubanks on Choice-Author of Credentialed to Destroy
Here she points out what the think tanks and control freaks have in store for us.
“Our guiding principle in the design of a choice system is this: public authority must be put to use in creating a system that is almost entirely beyond the reach of public authority.” If that sounds like nowhere to effectively appeal for any parent or student who grasps that School Choice and the law are to be used to impose the consciousness needed for the Human Development Society, the related footnote confirmed it:
“A good way of mitigating it [state legislatures or governors trying to control schools or their new mission in the future], however, would be to design institutions around fully decentralized authority and then install them through constitutional amendment. The legal foundation of the new system would then be very difficult to change or violate once put in place.”
