Yes, America lite....all the rights and none of those pesky responsibilities.
I'm working on the premise that government's role is to maintain order. Yes, maintaining order does encompass a lot of things. What that doesn't cover is education, procreation, lifestyle and thoughts.
I'll simply comment on education here, as an aide for myself to help keep me on topic. I'll save comments on the other areas to be discussed in another post.
I must have missed the memo saying it was the government's job to provide an education, not only to its citizen's, but to those who really should not be here.
Education spending increases as a percentage of GDP, while graduation rates decline. Should the federal government continue?
Public schools are increasingly becoming much more secular, denying the use of materials that have been deemed "religious" even though such documents contain important historical information. Currently sex-ed is a HUGE topic of discussion, with many parents shut out of any decisions there.
These areas should be of prime importance to parents who take their responsibility of educating their children seriously. What we will see from this is parents who are serious about this, will remove their children from public schooling and either home-school them or enroll them in a private school.
Tax dollars, regardless if there are children using the public school system are taken from paychecks. If children are home-schooled or enrolled in a private educational facility, the costs have now gone up as paying for these methods comes from after tax dollars.
Would you remove your children from the public school system if you disagreed with content?
Logging you in...
