IMO, while the discussion(s) about climate change here are interesting, they are, again IMO, off topic - they have nothing to do with the thread title.
The last administration was hardly conservative by any stretch of the imagination, and it is indeed a very partisan issue. Democrats created the Global Cooling scam during the 1970s just like they pushed this Global Warming scam on us during the 1990s, and now it is suppose to be "Climate Change". Democrats just aren't bright enough to figure out that the vast majority of the people aren't buying their con job this time around.
Climate change is indeed real, it happens every day, and nothing humans did, or can do, will change that reality. So you keep screaming the "sky is falling" and we will continue to point and laugh at you when you do. After all, even conservatives need a good laugh from time to time.
I didn't realize this could turn into such a heated topic! I must say, I am impressed at everyone's passion and insight. For the sake of unity, which I think our nation prides ourselves on, I hope we could agree on a few things that I know I feel very strongly about:
-EDUCATION in America is falling apart today. Not just public school, not just homeschool, not even schools, but education!
-This may be the fault of the media, of the families, of the schools, outside influences, or a combination, but it is impossible to place the blame definitely on one institution.
-The education of our future generation is possibly our most valuable of investments.
-If the education system (I mean system of the broadest of senses, to encompass all types of education) is failing, and we depend on it for our future welfare, something must be done for our children!
-Parents should have the right and the freedom to do what they see fit to improve this system in the ways that it relates to their own children, whether that means rewarding the already thousands of incredible teachers out there, opening charter schools, magnet schools, homeschools, raising standards for the local schools, anything!
-Each institution: public schools, private schools, religious schools, home schools, not only should but MUST be open to criticism if we are going to improve the education of our children and ensure the security of our future America.
Can we all agree on that?!
I agree!
