As it stands today, even if we get a Conservative strongman as president and he beats the Republicrat Party into obedience, it would take decades to reverse the abysmal trend this nation is taking.
We have a Republican House and Senate. Looking at what is happening is why I support Trump. Time to get a businessman in there and not another Politician.
Compulsory government schooling has always been about replacing parents.
Government schools have been a spectacular success if measured in terms of what they were intended to accomplish.
“The Underground History of American Education” is available on-line for free. It was written by the 1991 NY State Teacher of the Year who spent 10 years doing research for the book.
It’s an eye-opener.
In the good old days of Stalin ...
It takes a villain to raze a republic.
Fundamentally transforming America ALERT!
The truly sad thing is, there are a LOT of parents who would willingly submit to this, seeing it as just another benefit in a life-long string of freebies.
My son’s school had Open House the other night, and during the general orientation, the principal announced that the school qualified for the Obama Lunch program (CEP), and that “BREAKFAST AND LUNCH WILL NOW BE FREEEEE!” Almost all of the parents there erupted in applause.
The town I live in is rural, and (it seems to me) a lot of people don’t work, opting for a life of welfare. People like this would welcome more government involvement in their lives, just to remove more responsiblity.
So, instead of the current govt indoctrination centers, I mean ‘schools’, with NCLB/Common Core/(deviant) Sex Ed/non-Civics/etc., these will be different....how?
Govt run state orphanages may do a better job than some who let their children run feral
We’re almost there right now.
School lunches has morphed into school lunches and breakfast.
What about summer vacation? Why let’s have a program to feed them over the summer.
What? How about the rest of the family? Let’s feed them too !
Much of society has happily abdicated parental responsibility to the State and the State has seized the golden opportunity to indoctrinate the kids.
Reeducation Centers.
Kind’a sounds like that “Agenda 21” thing.....

Maybe your school is on the list..???
I do not believe that a Conservative will ever again even get nominated, let alone elected to the Office of President. Before the first ballot was cast, there would be three organizations out to slay him politically, the Republican Party, the media. and the Democrat party. Each year a group of older people die and a group of indoctrinated brain washed robots take their place. In the next few years, factor that in plus the legalization of every narcotic drug known to man, plus the parasites living off the labor of the producers that use Governmental force to take from the producers and give it to the parasites.
Jeb Bush’s correspondence with the Department of Education shows the Florida Republican offered to help Secretary of Education Arne Duncan on the re-authorization of the controversial education law. (emphasis addded) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3296203/posts

Cradle to work soviet style education coming to your community.
...passed by the GOP-controlled Senate on July 16. The similar “Student Success Act” was passed by the Republican-dominated House of Representatives on July 9. Now, the two versions of the legislation, which purport to re-authorize a dizzying array of unconstitutional federal “education” schemes, must be put together in conference.

Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), the chief sponsor of the “community schools” measure in the Senate, celebrated his success. “Challenges at home can undermine classroom performance and leave students struggling to keep up,” Brown said

“This is modeled after the Soviet system,” said Charlotte Iserbyt, author of the book Deliberate Dumbing Down of America and a former senior policy advisor at the U.S. Department of Education. “It is part of a long-range plan outlined by the Carnegie Corporation to abolish local elected boards and use education to transform America from a capitalist system to a planned economy. The charter schools are a huge part of this agenda too because they already do not have elected boards, and the plan is to have unelected commissions and boards, at the same time as we move away from local tax funding of schools. We are watching it all happen right now. The simplest solution is to cut the international/federal/state umbilical cord!”
Read the Constitution. By its very nature, education--that is real education--is inherently local. Indoctrination, on the other hand; indoctrination for life in a Police State, is an entirely different subject.
For a Conservative approach to education, see Education.
The Obama policy on "education," is a clear reflection of the war on nature, that has motivated the Left increasingly over the past two generations. It is what the obsession with "inequality" is all about. Anyone who really cares about people in need will understand that making equality of condition a goal, is the absolute enemy of human progress--an implication that human achievement is somehow wrong; and making envy, not application or emulation, the proffered remedy.
Our local school decided to stop ranking students. It would be so “unfair” you see....The valedictorian for the year refused to speak at graduation in protest. A lot of people couldn’t understand why he would do it. I was pretty blunt that I agreed with him and gave him kudos.
They have manipulated young people into favoring gay marriage and transgenders. Now they can manipulate them into central planning of their whole lives.
