HEADS IN THE SANDPILE

This takes gall. 

We all know what a lousy public education system we have in this country.  Our students are not only not getting an education, they are being indoctrinated in liberal, socialist ideologies.  Like the press is supposed to be, our educational system is supposed to be non-political and totally without propaganda.  And, like "No Child Left Behind," Common Core is a dismal failure.  

There are multitudes of problems in other government agencies as well, but this post refers strictly to the Department of Education.  Our education has been in rapid decline ever since the federal government decided to make a power grab and diminish the authority and rights of the individual states to administer their own programs.  This is why there is such a move to try and establish and operate charter schools.  

Trump named Betsy De Vos as his new Secretary of Education.  She is a school-choice and voucher advocate who has been a driving force behind the successful rise of charter schools in Michigan.  She is the most logical choice to take the helm and bring positive change to our schools.  Certainly, we cannot continue down the current path.  

And the Democrats, one American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten in particular,  now have the unmitigated gall to suggest that De Vos is going to ruin our educational system.  As if to say that she and her stooges are producing some outstanding educational system right now?  

They're to  blame for these messes, but they have their hands stuck so far in the sand that they can't see the forest through the trees.
