[still_one]

education should be at the local level, effectively saying that the Federal government has no say in it

It is a coded way of saying, lets get rid of the public school system

If educators, labor, women, minorities, etc. do not vote Democratic in 2012 they will be in for a rude awakening

[Neue Regel]

1. An uneducated populace is more pliable

TPTB don't have to spend nearly as much time and effort to conceal their lying and stealing when their constituency is woefully uninformed

3. Yep, that'll work really well in the 21st century, Newt, work hard to keep

Americans uneducated in the 21st century. Maybe your next idea can be to sell America off to the highest bidder.

[Old and In the Way]

4. Republicanism is dangerous to your mental and physical well being.

It is the Party for the home-schooled.

5. So I guess the restrooms that financially poor 8 year olds

will be in, what, charter schools?
