Well, if the Post dislikes her enough to put up such a ridiculous scare headline, then she’s probably pretty good. You’d think from the way the left talked we actually had a good, efficient, successful public school system in this nation…

Typo or something in that title. It should read:

Trump terrifies public school leftist propagandists with education secretary pick.

I like the idea of vouchers, but my main concern would be that the government will then try to dictate what the private or religious schools will teach in order to conform to the prevalent left wing societal standards of sexual (im)morality, etc. Maybe less of a concern under Trump, but would be under any future or local Dem administration.

1. Home School.

2. By whatever name, Christian parents form local school corporations of boards, and directly hire the non-union teachers of your choice.

3. Churches, sponsor church schools.

4. ALL. Tell government to get out of the education business and stop funding government-union public education through private property taxation.

I’m all in on vouchers.

Wary of corporate charter schools. Another vehicle for political payback. See Chicago.

Oh my gosh...an anti-Washington President appointed someone who wants to send the local education back to the local authorities. Good, I like the pick...she is an advocate of charter schools and homeschooling.

Isn’t it ironic that the Dept of Ed may be the catalyst for the undoing of the public school system in this country? Had it been dismantled by a conservative administration or never established in the first place, school districts would have successfully operated under local control as they had since the 19th century, and would undoubtedly continue to do so in perpetuity. In fact, it is the over reaching and agenda-driven federal government which will be the demise of the public school system in America.

How can they get worse? They’re slaughterhouses for the soul.
