I’m pretty active and I hadn’t heard of this thing untill last night… we’ve got a townhall on it here tonight and will see what can be done to stop this… but this didn’t start with the 60′s… at least not in the 1960′s, it only came blatantly out into plain view in the 1960′s. This whole mess started in the 1860′s with the Morrill Act, which was the first proregressive success in getting the Federal govt involved in local citizens lives, taking advantage of American’s thirst for Education… and over the objections of College Presidents who saw what would follow, it passed… and govt, and the proregressive leaders who put themselves up as the ‘X-spurts’ to guide ‘educational progress’, have taken progressively more and more control of our educational system ever since.
They broke out of the straightjacket of traditional American’s ideas of what an Education should be in the early 1900′s, and it’s been the inverted hockey stick ever since.
I put up a couple posts on this a few years ago, “What never was and never will be” and “Spreading The Flames“.
If this passes and is implemented unopposed… we’re toast. It won’t matter what legislative victory we manage to make… unless homeschooling takes off bigtime, there won’t be anyone left around to see liberty as being worthwhile.
See if it’s in your area yet, if it is, fight it, if it’s not, fight it – it’s coming, either way fight this one folks… it’s happening at your local schoolboard level where we can all still have a say.
Fight this.
