Is it time for a Tea Party for education since 1/3 of our kids drop out from high school?

March 2, 2010

Whether they drop out from boredom with multiculture studies, or female studies, or other courses that they can’t use in life, they’re dropping out in unprecedented numbers.

According to progressive Republican Colin Powell, on average, 1/3 dropout of big city high schools. In Baltimore 60% drop out ! This was unheard of in the 60s, and comes with more involvement of politically correct/ government intervention in education.

With new blood in Washington coming in 2010, should we demand an overhaul of the CHANGES made in the 70s to the traditional education of our kids so they learn what they need in life, and not to serve one party or the other ?

Like most things with government involvement, LESS IS BETTER. Use taxpayer money to build the schools and supply them, but get the unions out so teachers can teach what’s best for the STUDENTS.
