#2 Sounds like Trump should offer homeschoolers a tax credit.

A well deserved white oak, GP Large tent stake through the heart of the so-called Teachers' Union.

#4 The NEA - now there's a 'tits on a bull' useless agency. Get rid of it.

#5 NEA is a union which any set of idiots is free to have and belong to. Dept. of Education and National Endowment for the Arts? Shut 'em down...

#6 ^ My bad - I was thinking about the Dept. of Education, and how it was created (Carter agreed to do that in exchange for the NEA's support for him in the 1976 election). That's how I first got interested in politics.

#7 "More political"--how will we be able to tell the difference?

#8 Exactly Tom. The current teachers unions aren't exactly known for staying on the sidelines.

#9 So the non-political teachers will stop paying fees, school districts will stop automatically withholding fees for them to funnel directly to the unions, and the rump membership will make their significantly reduced funding work much harder to produce political results... generating more ill will from potential members who see them ignoring local contract negotiations to purchase participation in the political arena.

A double win for the anti-unionists — in both the short- and mid-term.

#10 Possibly even a virtuous cycle.

#11 #1 Sounds like Trump should offer homeschoolers a tax credit.

McConnell and Ryan will nip that right in the bud.

Go to

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/6470/text

and scroll to Title III for what Paulie NoNuts is proposing to spend directly on "education".

#12 This Educational system is not designed for the Children. It is designed for that GODDAMN Worthless GUnion.

Burn the whole Prussian piece of shit system down and start again from scratch.

There is no excuse for the ignorance coming out of the K-12 systems today.

They leave high school dumber than when they came out of the Womb. Only to attend the Marxist Madrassahs of the Aholio College system.

It has never been so crazy...
and Criminal.
