This is a crisis we'd better get a handle on before it's too late -- if it isn't already!

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday that aims to reduce the federal government’s role in K-12 education.
Trump is giving Education Secretary Betsy DeVos just short of a year — 300 days — to identify areas where Washington has overstepped its legal authority in education, and modify and repeal regulations and guidance from her department, if necessary. A report will be returned to the White House and eventually made public, officials said.
Trump complained that the government over the years has forced states and schools to comply with ‘‘federal whims.’’ He said the order will help restore local control over education.

Thanks for the ping. More winning!
Bravo, Mr. President.
Time is up, apparently.
MAGNIFICENT!
Patience, Grasshopper!
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
That is like going to a state college where you do your own room and board.
That is a helluva lot of money being spent that when kids graduate from high school they can't read past a 4th grade level nor write legibly nor fill out an application for menial employment.
And then they are also taught how to fornicate with abandon and they also know where the closet Planned Parenthood center Is.
For 12 years plus kindergarten, that is a grand total of $104,000 per student FOR NOTHING.
This sounds even bigger than getting rid of common core. This gets rid of the Liberals’ influence in education, reverses ALinsky’s plan.
That is incredible. I’m beyond happy for my southern neighbors. Praise God and may he watch over and guide President Trump and give him wisdom, and keep him and his family safe from any harm.
One area the government overstepped: forcing common core on everyone.
He slid this by when everyone else was chasing the laser dot...lol
Good, however, getting all students into high-security high-quality private schools is better.
Government schools are always going to be indoctrination camps.
It is time for competition in education.
Let’s start with sex education by LGBT groups under the guise of bullying.
This is very big. The K-12 socialist propaganda machine must be dismantled. Our daughters are in their 20’s and although we deprogrammed (mostly successfully) them and taught them critical thinking, the disinformation they were exposed to in the public schools is real. The public school teachers are teaching in lock step the socialist curricula that they receive from the far left Ivies.
I can attest first hand that their generation has largely bought the lies being disseminated by the K-12 public school disinformation factories.
Conformity is expected. For example if you know that abortion takes a life and dare to make an argument against it, your peers will ostracize you and ridicule you. This is real and if it is not fixed, we will lose the next several generations who will end up being indoctrinated into becoming socialist materialist atheists.
The peer cohorts of our daughters probably are in 90% agreement with the socialist doctrines they were taught - the evil white man, the evils of America, evolution and global warming as proven truth instead of theory, etc.
LOL Can't be said better than that.
Of course the teachers will reject this because they loathe her and Trump.
I wish the insidious Common Core had been a Day One priority. Secretary DeVos needs to do deep research on this mess—must get beyond the benign sounding buzzwords.
She should also follow the money...see who has major investment in Pearson Co. which has contract for curriculum. A certain low energy GOP candidate comes to mind.
Obama’s Race to the Top was a funding mechanism, and it also brought student data mining, and the socially-engineered discipline ideas that effectively brought the law enforcement stand-down in Parkland/ Broward Co. FL.
!!! YES !!!

Wtf????
“Limit the fed’s role? How about eliminate it?”
Exactly right.
Ya can’t be a little bit pregnant.
