Help us to spread the truth, pass this on and help us to take our country back.

The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant. (Maximilien Robespierre)

President Barack Obama should close the US Dept of education, they are an impediment to the education system of this United States. Their well intended legislation do not work, because the bureaucracy and the Unions. The system is corrupt by the unions and the politicians that accept their money to finance their campaigns. Obama will free 10 states from the strict requirements of the No Child Left Behind law, giving leeway to states that promise to improve how they prepare and evaluate their students. The first 10 states to receive the waivers are Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Tennessee, but this will not fix this education crisis.

Every state in the Union should claim their independence from the rules of the federal government; education is the responsibility of the parent's and the community. The families are the ones that have the best interest on the education of their children. During the last 40 years we witness the destruction of our education system by the implementation of the bilingual education and the no child left behind. We had produce two generations of uneducated people and the downfall of our human capital. Generations that have become this new class “The welfare class”

The solution to this education crisis is not money, what we need to do is simple. Close the US Dept. Of Education. The States should organize a new system base in responsibility. Every school in the states should have a base curriculum for grade level, that the State require for the maintenance of licensing the school operation. Each school should be run independent and the responsibility for performance should rest on the principle, the teachers and a commite form by the student's parents and the taxpayers of the community.

sorry, but this 'birther' thing happened to me in 6th grade. Chicago public school system Graves junior high. History teacher; Mr. Cronin. I asked if I could be president seeing as how I was born in germany. (military bratt); The answer; yes, because being born in a military hospital is considered "U.S. soil". Just chatty this sunday mornin'. that's all folks.

What is really sad is that many students who are paying attention in class are being turned into Liberal/Socialist believers by Liberal teachers and professors. This practice must be stopped as it creates a ready made voting block for one party only. Talk about unamerican.

Scary to think these uninformed people vote!  They are easily swayed by sound bites.  More Federal Government dumbing down Americans. When their Freedom is gone, they will really be screaming and marching in the streets shouting, "What happened?"
