(5,737 posts)1. Look around the country at all the states with Republican governors.
This is a common theme. The plan was devised by the Heritage Foundation in the late 70's and put into place during the Reagan years. Public education is suffering on all levels, from crumbling schools to underfunded and underpaid teachers. If a child is to be educated, somebody will have to pay for it. The heritage Foundation used Appalachia as their model. Dumb as dirt but reliably vote GOP.

GOP Thankful for Sabotaged Education System Keeping Party Viable
WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Today, the Republican National Committee (RNC) declared it was thankful for an American education system so broken and preoccupied by standardized testing it helped the Republican Party remain a viable political party. The RNC also claimed responsibility for the endless attacks on public education, which have effectively sabotaged efforts to create a well-informed citizenry.

"The Republican Party is also responsible for funneling money to absolutely terrible charter schools in order to hurt public schools even more. Good luck creating that educated citizenry that is critical to a functional democracy," stated Priebus, who smirked.
