Common Core unconstitutional and illegal

Education reform: is it impossible?
Print Friendly

The decline of the once exemplary American educational system was the issue that converted me from a political neophyte into a political activist. The educational programs in vogue from the 1990s to 2013 have run the gamut from Goals 2000, School-to-Work, Outcome-based Education, Race to the Top and No Child Left Behind. The new kid on the block is commonly referred to as Common Core, which isn’t really new at all, just a re-invention and re-labeling of the government’s other failed attempts to take-over education. The full name of Common Core is Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Oddly enough, the only way CCSS addresses state standards is in its agenda to usurp them.

ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease.

These were the words of Leon Eisenberg, the “scientific father of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder),” in his last interview before his death.

Common core education would poison education in New Jersey

The New Jersey primary has another defining issue, as if it needed more. Its name is “common core education.” And it separates the wheat from the chaff among candidates.

Resurrecting Sodom

Mount Sodom, where it really happened
Print Friendly

I intended to write about the ghoulish Dr. Kermit Gosnell. (Who, by the way, waits for a jury to come in.) But then the reality set in: Kermit Gosnell is only the symptom of an increasingly amoral America. So this piece took a different turn. Years ago Ruth Graham, wife of Billy Graham, made a statement that I thought was a bit over the top: “If God doesn’t soon bring judgment upon America, He’ll have to go back and apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah!” Back when Mrs. Graham made this statement, I hardly winced. After all, no one was knocking on my door to have sexual relations with any of my attractive visitors. However, the handwriting was on the wall. We were well on our way to becoming as arrogant, hedonistic, and morally defunct as Sodom – we just didn’t know it.

Impossible: a self-fulfilling prophecy

Education reform: is it impossible?

The greatest barrier standing in the way of passage of universal school choice legislation, which is solidly based on the foundation of liberty and free enterprise, is the fact that universal school choice is “politically impossible.” Despite the fact that Milton Friedman’s plan, empowering parents to send their children to the school of their choice, is the only practical way to restore accountability to the system, it remains politically impossible to achieve in New Jersey.

Censorship: key to sustaining evolution

The real effect of censorship as science
Print Friendly

Tina Dupuy recently called on government, or maybe voters (she never made clear), to “save our schools from Creationism.” I’m sure Ms. Dupuy believes her argument is based on logic and credibility. It is not. She has been fooled by censorship masquerading itself as science.

In Parts One and Two of this series on education reform I discussed both the problems of government-run education and the possible solutions. In essence, the main message was “take your kids out of government-run schools.” This final part of the series will deal with the nuts and bolts of bringing one of those suggestions into reality.

Uwe and Hannalore Romeike and their children will have their day in court today – specifically the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. That court will decide whether they can stay in this country to home school their children, or have to leave the United States. They fear that if they have to go back to Germany, they face arrest and imprisonment, and their children face removal to foster care, over their home schooling practices.

Education Reform: Think Outside the Box

Those involved in the tea party movement sing the song of limited government but continually seek to remedy of loss of liberties through pushing for more legislation. We cannot have limited government if We the People do not step up to the plate to figure out solutions to our problems independent of government intervention. This is especially true of education reform.

Education reform: is it impossible?
Print Friendly

There are several categories that need to be discussed regarding Education Reform. This will be a two-part series. Part One will discuss the problems and the proposals. Part Two will discuss the solutions to this problem that lie within the hands of We the People. Although those interested in this position are probably well aware of the shortcomings in the field of academia, I would like to mention a few things before getting down to the nuts and bolts.
