When it comes to education, no solution, not even ones we like, should be dictated or run from Washington, D.C.
Education and research is national, not E.U., business.
Of all states that understands local control of schools, Iowa is such a state.
If I was a state, I would like to see education left to the schools themselves, but I don't want the federal government involved in education. I think that it ends up setting standards that cost you time and money and don't make any difference in education. I want to stop that.
The success of our economy shouldn't determine the success of our schools.
I wouldn't want to have the thought police going to people's homes, dictating what they teach their children. I don't want to be Big Brotherish. I would hate that.
I support parents making the best decisions for their kids' education.
Bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., shouldn't know how to better educate my kids than I do.
The most urgent necessity is, not that the State should teach, but that it should allow education. All monopolies are detestable, but the worst of all is the monopoly of education.
I guess there are some rights of parents with what they choose their children to learn, but I'm biased in favor of freeing children to learn and not letting parents be too doctrinaire in indoctrinating their children.
