Truth endures the test of time.

Nearly 150 years ago R.L. Dabney noted: The education of children for God is the most important business done on earth. It is the business for which the earth exist. To it all politics, all war, all literature, all money-making ,ought to be subordinated; and every parent especially ought to feel, every hour of the day, that, next to making his own calling and election sure, this is the end for which he is kept alive by God---this is his task on earth.

The true education of our future is important, I not only recognize that, I champion it.

Yet some would suggest that people in my position only want to take away from the children or relapse to some less successful time. Nothing could be further from the truth and I would submit that they in their attitudes of indolence are the one stealing all our future and freedoms.

They are the ones stealing freedoms and future of our children, though inertia and selfishness. Some for agenda and others for a false sense of ataraxia.

Less than 50% of the public votes, fewer are intelligent enough to vote conservative, yet they defend the current antiquated and damaging public education system. Strange? Hardly.

I say throw out the troglodyte socialists and begin anew with true learning and education.
