Hopefully SCOTUS will remember that all state and local taxes are OUR money, that we pay in part to ensure our kids will be well-educated, and that should be at ANY school we choose to send them to. (Transportation should be within reasonable limits, with parents responsible for transport if outside of a designated range).

Dismantle the NEA. Bring on choices! I'm ready to get some REAL competition, and I'm gunning to be one of those teachers that are highly sought after by the parents in my community! If I can't, then I should be looking for a new job, or at least sweating the pressure of better teachers trying to replace me. Do our children and our future deserve less than that?

What the NEA doesn't understand is that increased competition will be good for education, and that many teachers will see increased wages.

The problem is that many teachers and members of the NEA know that only the COMPETENT educators will see this increase, and that they are not part of that group.

Anybody want to predict what the liberal "party line" vote will be on this one......

Or guess what side Ginsburg (z?) and her comrades are going to be on? (She was, although Biden refused to allow comment or interviews during HER cornonation to the Court!) the senior ACLU lawyer.......

Dismantle the NEA.

It would be good, but the people who would have to do it are responsible only to themselves -- not to the voters. A really good start would be to dismantle the cabinet position and far-reaching Federal bureaucracy established by Jimmih Cahtah -- the Department of Education.

You composed 2 proper paragraphs and left no dangling participles. I don't think you need to sweat it.
