The Constitution authorizes funding for public education for the purpose of educating people regardless of age (etc.) in all the requirements necessary for understanding the foundations of our liberty. That is why that section of the body of the Constitution is in there; and it was one of George Washington's strongest interests.

Unfortunately, failing a study of the Constitution, is what "the left" "prays" upon, in other words, purposefully absent the "requirements necessary for understanding the foundations of our liberty" ... is the syllabus-manifesto of the N.E.A. whose soul purpose is to strip people of sensing even the opportunity to be free, and whose sole purpose is to subjigate people by leaving them helpless --- educationless --- and eternally vulnerable to that deprivation.

I'm a supporter of the Constitution and the public education it authorizes, including the truthful comprehension by the public, of the construction of our Constitution.

As yet another proxy for totalitarianism, the N.E.A. is against that instruction about limited government.

Our education problem, in general, is that Americans refuse to instruct themselves where George Washington, et al, believed we must: in the law --- not the statutes, but in the law, which we use to limit government excess and abuse of powers.

Sitting around, waiting for some change in "the system," expecting some relief from government power gone wrong in our schools, will not do our work for us: We must teach, every day, dare to speak the truth and explain our worthy American Heritage in examples and illustrations which take the "student" back to our construction and runs them through participating with The General at Valley Forge, in the Wilderness, and Constitutional Convention.

"I did not know that." I hear that alot. What attracts people, is your passion for the truth. They want the truth. They want to be informed.

They are turned OFF by lies, and thereby they lose interest.

We cannot sit and wait around while "the powers that be" try to solve the N.E.A.'s injustices by passing some bill in the Congress or in the states' legislatures ... or, considering the current climate, awaiting judge-made laws that bend with the forces coming from the nation's cultural research wind tunnel: the A.C.L.U.

Unfortunately, that is what "the powers that be" on "the right," are doing; sitting; waiting; for somebody else to pay the bill; instead of just plain digging into the work at hand.

It would help tremendously, if Republicans and "Republicans" would renounce their college alumni donations that are supporting institutional totalitarianism at university.

It would help alot; but that would mean giving up those football and basketball seats.

That is the lesson for today.

Thanks for the heads-up...appreciate it.
