I am convinced that educational liberty is imperiled. Nothing short of losing the right to privately educate our children, or educator our children as Christians is at stake. Politicians are claiming to to the reverse, and people everywhere want to believe the lies because they want money.
THINK THRU THE ARGUMENTS FOR YOURSELF
There are people who would argue otherwise. But talk to them for a while. Find out if they are telling you facts. Do they know definitions? What are their actual claims? Have they considered the evidence? Have they fairly evaluated the likely results of the policies? (Yes, exactly what I have been teaching in my thinking skills courses. I taught them because THIS is the greatest learning obstacle around right now.)
You know very well that most bills are named the exact opposite to their intent and result. You know that many well-intentioned plans are utter failures when put into practise. You know know, or should know, that originally all rights were reserved to the people except those explicitly granted to the government. You know that that government has consistently crept up, thought that they ruled us, and even taught that they granted rights. You know that most Republicans are really RINOs. You know that most Democrats do have some sane arguments. It is sane to expect accountability from monies disbursed!
ARE YOU EDUCATED ENOUGH YOURSELF TO FIGHT THIS BATTLE?
You may not know, however, much about the truth, and history of the “school choice” movement. It is a movement push, as far as I can see, by RINO governors. It will grant some monies, one way or another to some people that privately educate, for some time; however, more will be granted to the government schools — to continue going ever lower in academic achievement, safety, and sanity. This was ever the plan.
If you doubt that destroying education and liberty has been the plan, then read Chapter 2 in my forthcoming Book: Re-founding Education.
WORK TOWARD A SOLUTION, INSTEAD OF BEING DISTRACTED BY A CARROT
I have heard and read the wildest, silliest claims. Folks, if you want liberty and do not have it, then propose a bill in your legislature that prohibits regulation of private education including home education. If you want more money to educate your children, then argue for lower taxes. If you want more money to go for educating poor people, work to see that your private school grants good scholarships. These are the only ways those objectives will be accomplished.
Negotiate with liars and you will get snookered. Don’t gamble with your liberty!
