Finally the Senate gets things done. Another secretary is confirmed today. Now the education department can get to shining things up. Big cities are surely looking forward to new charter schools helping to provide much needed competition. Chicago school teachers that served over 2 years were called dinosaurs.

Speaking of which, I'm guessing dinosaurs will be among the first items erased from the books in favor of the teachings of creationism.
She'll do fine. We had a community organizer start no less than 5 proxy wars because he couldn't govern and we survived those, despite having Benghazi and a secretary of state that didn't know the definition of secret.

We pay high taxes to live in an area with great public schools. Private schools near me are
30 -40K per year. My guess is that a voucher would not cover that.
Have four more years to get through. Hoping we make it before she destroys everything.
I think they still believe in dinosaurs...except they lived beside humans...or some nonsense like that?
Good lord...please don't let this happen.
School officials need to have assault rifles in class in case one of those dinosaurs from the past 4000 years (the age of the earth) comes into the doors of the school!
The filibuster rule change pushed by the Democrats came back to bite them in the butt. They had to do it back then to bypass an obstinate GOP, but it hurts now.
She never would have been confirmed otherwise, IMO.
Elections have consequences. If teaching that America is bad and global warming is *ehm* real, then a change up is just what the doctor ordered.
Let's work on charter schools first, then curriculum.
Assuming that local districts can figure out their own school menus without Washington assistance.
We teach that America is bad? What curriculum do you study? In my 24 years of education, I never was taught that. Ever. Even at the "indoctrinating" University and post-graduate levels.
The war on science is ridiculous, and if that seeps into our Public education system, I'm certainly going to be marching on Washington and giving them hell. When did the Republican party become so anti-science? It used to champion our scientific innovation and leadership! Very sad.
You want to teach your kids some nonsense about a 6,000 year old Earth, that Evolution doesn't happen, or that there isn't decades of evidence supporting Climate Change...be my guest. You have every right to deny science and live in whatever alternate reality you want to.
But you sure as hell aren't teaching that in any government-funded school.
