Quote: "Perhaps the best
argument against federal testing mandates is that there is no authority
for federal involvement with education, period. It is simply not legal
for the national government to tell states what to do with their
schools. Not only that, federal bossypants behavior has not benefitted
children. So there really is no point, except to supply and inflate the
salaries and egos of the already-upper-income meddlers determining
education policy." http://humanevents.com/2014/12/18/the-best-present-schools-could-receive/?
This item addresses the problem with schools failing to teach so very many children how to read. http://townhall.com/columnists/phyllisschlafly/2014/12/30/schools-dont-teach-kids-to-read-n1936681/page/full
A short footnote. Back in the early 70's for a short time I taught US
and World History to high school students. I was astounded by the
number of students who could not read the text. They had simply been
passed along by the system. My guess is that in many locations it is
worse today than then.
So very true. Quote: "There is
no doubt that our schools are places where a leftist agenda is being
pushed but it gets even more sinister. Are we deliberately encouraging
these protests and the resulting civil unrest?" http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/12/common_core_continuing_the_lies_that_divide_america.html
The University of Michigan is not the place to send your child if you want them to be educated instead of indoctrinated.
What a twist. A professor does
not allow debate of same sex marriage because "we all agree on that
one". A student objects and eventually had to drop the class. Soon
after another professor learns of the event and registered his
objection on his blog to the way the matter was handled and “received a
letter from the dean relieving him of his teaching duties, saying he was
under investigation and banned from campus.” Such is the power
liberalism has over free expression of ideas in academia. http://godfatherpolitics.com/19319/professor-banned-campus-disagreeing-debatable-subject/
What
has been going on in California colleges and universities in not
limited to California. The faculties and administrations of a large
swath of academia are heavily weighted towards liberal/progressive hard
liners who serve as activists and propagandists for liberal/progressive
causes. So many examples exist that substantiate this claim that it
cannot be refuted. This is just one of a multitude of examples. http://eaglerising.com/13032/conservatives-win-battle-radical-liberals-california-colleges/
