Godfather Politics – Dave Jolly
– 7/2/2014
In 1979, another liberal Democratic president by the name of Jimmy Carter,
separated the education part of the DHEW and made it its own Cabinet position
as the Department of Education.
Since that time, the ED (DOE
is used for the Department of Energy) has grown from 3,000 employees with an
annual budget of $12 billion to nearly 4,200 and annual budget of $77.4 billion
and growing.
If you want to know just how vital and important the
Department of Education is, consider the fact that in the Sequestration government
shutdown last year, nearly 95%
of the ED employees were furloughed because they were deemed
non-essential. They furloughed 3,983 of their 4,195 employees, leaving a mere
212 people to run the entire department.
Another Rasmussen
Report shows that parental support of Common Core has been steadily
declining. Last November, 52% of parents with kids in elementary or secondary
school favored requiring all schools to adhere to the Common Core Standards. In
the most recent survey, only 34% said yes to the same question, a drop of 18%
in only 7 months. Seven months ago, 42% of the parents said Common Core would
help improve student performance. That has dropped to 37%.
If you are a parent of a
child in the public education system, you have the responsibility to find out
what your child(ren) are being taught and what they are not allowed to have
access to. If the school won’t cooperate, it’s time for you to seriously consider
the options of homeschooling or private schooling, if at all possible.
If you don’t take an active
role in your child’s public education, you have only yourself to blame. Their
future is in your hands. If you blindly turn them over to the public schools,
don’t be surprised when he/she/they grow up to be good government loving
socialists who turn away from all of your religious and moral values and
principles.
