Hiya, AB! Thank you for another informative Sunday thread.

bray--nice three pillars analogy. DNC is busted, and they appear to be hoisting a Muslim to the highest post. Good for them and us. Media is naked and exposed. Mr. T has his finger on that button.

This leaves the biggest and baddest--the swamp of academia. It may take generations to undo the damage inflicted by liberal academic indoctrination at all levels. Higher education is the most vulnerable to public scrutiny at this moment, with unsustainable costs, and ineffective outcomes.

The basic education levels K-12 are in dire need of our attention. It won't change overnight, but a spear through the heart of the federal Dept. of Education, overhaul of campaign financing by teacher unions, and returning oversight to state and local government is a good start. Unfortunately, our own local county school board is a funding black hole. One-third of our local taxes already go to public school funding, and they just received another sales tax increase via ballot. Stop the madness!

Great post NN and you got right to the core of the problem. Education has been co-opted by the hard left from cradle to grad school.

We can start by getting rid of huge govt. backed loans to colleges and then allowing those who want to go to private schools benefits where they can. Why steal someone's tax money in support of a failing educational system that no matter how much money you throw into it it keeps getting worse.?

Here in South Florida 20k per kid is not enough in some counties.Especially, with special catering to kids who won't learn English. 50k per kid would not be enough to try and force kids to become good little socialists when the community at large is capitalist.

Education should be taught in one language and one language only. As should road signs, ballots, and anything else that taxpayers pay for.

Multi-language catering is part of the destruction of the country.
