Education

We need to allow parents to select what school their child attends. Currently it’s determined by unelected bureaucrats. We will never get congress to allow us the option so we need to keep taking cases to the Supreme Court until we get the ruling we want. Taxes collected for education belong to the parents and they can spend it as they choose as long as the school is licensed and accredited by the state.

Public Education

Ninety percent of our children spend 13 years in public education. Over 75% of them are taught by teachers that are in one of two unions. The American Federation of Teachers gives 100% of their political donations to liberal organizations or Democrat candidates. The National Education Association gives 96% of their political donations to the same groups. These children spend at least 5 hours a day listening to these teachers. The liberal influence is powerful. It’s evident in how they voted in the Trump/Clinton election. The voters with the largest support for the liberal candidate, Clinton, was the 18 to 24 age group. As the voters got older they eventually, starting with the 40 to 49 age group, supported the conservative candidate, Trump. Our kids are highly influenced by teachers. Parents need to talk more with their children about current events.

Bitter Opinions

I understand that everyone can’t be expected to agree all the time. Actually, that would be very boring. Disagreeing is a good thing. It forces people to think harder about their positions and make sure their data is accurate. It’s the name calling that I don’t like. Especially in today’s political climate. Disagreeing with someone is fine but why resort to name calling? It indicates that you have no data to support your position. Leave out the name calling. It’s childish. Do more research and present facts. Good research might even change your mind on a subject. But you’d need an open mind to start with and open minds seem to be very rare these days.

Know your source

If you only get information from EGEM you should be aware of the fact that your sources have an agenda. They want you to follow their directions and ultimately vote for their recommended candidate.
