We can thank a president in his help to begin and fund a group of policos in establishing the National Education Assoc? Then came other teachers unions who joined forces with others of like minds to DUMB DOWN American kids. They have been active, they have been steady in their effort and it looks like they have been quite successful in teaching the lie that AMERICA IS NO DARN GOOD. The constitution is not taught, a lot of kids don't know who Geo. Washington is, they can't tell you where Asia, Africa or Europe are, they can't repeat the states of America, they can't add without an adding machine, they don't know who Shakespear is, can't tell you anthing about the great artists, but by golly they can tell you about rap "entertainers" and know all the words to their latest diatribe against our country, children and women. They then drive around in cars with their radios on full blast so you can hear them coming a block away. Our education system has some pretty bad things wrong with it, and it should be changed in many ways. I think we should start with the idea that all children who enter our school system must speak our language, if they don't know it, when entering, they can learn it, children are like little damp sponges, they pick up anything and everything, therefore if they don't speak our English, they will learn.

Every child on the planet learns at least one language. Human brains are ready for learning language in childhood and for school systems to deny children the opportunity to participate in English is wrong, as well as VERY counterproductive.
