Here is what I would like to come back
Stop this pandering to BOTH sides
I want students to STUDY THE CLASSICs, and I mean Plato, Aristotle, and others... if I could do it, why can't they?
I want students to take US History, and I mean REAL US HISTORY.
If parents have a problem with kids ACTUALLY DISCUSSING the founding fathers, the Enlightenment, the Civil Rights Movement and even current events, TOUGH! The role of the schools is to TEACH.
and yes I mean discuss teh good, the bad and the uggly, yep, the Founding Fathers were great and some had slaves and suported SLAVERY.
Oh and yes, I want students to be ABLE TO DISCUSS These things.
Oh and those standarized tests, to hell with them, bring back the ESSAY EXAM... and teach kids how to write and how to THINK.
Of course NO KID should graduate without a US CIVICS course, where they would be required to discusss, learn and apreciate the US CONSTITUTION, enough alraedy, they need this!
And yes, if we are requiring people to register for the Selective Service, fine, REQUIRE all to register to vote by their 18th birthday, want a drivers licence, REGISTER at the same time.
Anybody with me? I intend to run when we finally settle down, and yes this is the agenda
