I just don't see the point in calling ourselves a united nation if we aren't going to produce a minimum standard of educated workers across the board. Why not just Balkanize at that point?
I get it, I don't think a national standard is a bad thing. I think more people would be fine with the DOE if public schools didn't teach kids to think politically this way or that about current societal issues. Teaching politics is fine, but children are more easily manipulated. Basically keep current politics out of school because children aren't wise enough at that age to handle it. But, that is why those who want to make changes always go after kids. I think a lot of people feel the DOE has been involved in doing this.
