End the Federal Department of Education. I am a public school teacher and can't stand this waste of money and time. It does not benefit us out here on the ground.

Secretary Arne Duncan is a fraud! He never taught a day in his life, has no degree in education, never was a principal a day in his life, and has no degree in educational administration. This man is an insult to every teacher in this nation and has no right to have anything to do with one classroom, let alone the entire country's classrooms.

Politics should be kept far away from education. Our children are the future of the nation and we must ONLY educate them to become critical thinkers - why alter syllabuses for the sake of pleasing or not offending some? http://www.qualityresearch.org.uk

The educational journey of a child is around 15 years. During this period they will be subjected to continual change from several presidents, governments, policies and global infrastructures. We are educating the leaders of tomorrow right now. Maybe someone, somewhere in the world can evolve a schooling process that works and is free of political dabbling.

This is a phoney and incompetent administration. The Rep. Party has asked the Attorney General, Kansas to investigate Serbelius for Medicare/Medicaid fraud. Birds of a feather. I wonder what the role of the OIG is in education?

Another in a series of indictments of the "Baby Boomer's" (of which I am one), who failed in parenting by allowing the liberal education establishment to indoctrinate their children in "revisionist history" driven by "diversity," "feminism," "separation of church & state," "situation- ethics,""environmentalism," "secular-humanism," "victimology," "abortion rights as religious dogma," and "free speech," only as long as it is liberal speech.

In Obama's vision of a "classless" society that is ruled by his "statists" in Washington, the only centers of intellect and wealth will be the "ruling class" inside the beltway, "Hollywood pseudo-intellectuals" like Janine Garafalo and Jane Fonda, "main stream media leftists" like Charlie Gibson, Catie Couric, Chris Matthews, New York Times, etc. This agenda to remake America in the image of the failed Soviet Union (minus the weapons and intelligence apparatus to defend itself, of course) will result, unless halted by a reawakening of a majority of Americans, in not only the redistribution of wealth within our borders, but also in the wholesale redistribution of America's hard-earned wealth to the third world dictators comprising the majority of UN member states.

This tragedy is unfolding now before the eyes of the world as Obama and his Chicago thug Marxist cronies in allegiance with a compliant/complicit media, nationalize an ever increasing percentage of the private sector in their never ending effort to control every aspect of your business pursuits and personal life. This is how they plan on working around the "Bill of Rights" and Constitution which Obama has publicly stated to be "negative rights" as respects government central planning.

The Founders, and their historical inspiration which included philosophers and great thinkers like Cicero, Locke, and others, are spinning in their graves as these false prophets in Washington piss all over ideas that were centuries in development, and until the early part of the 20th century resulted in the most successful experiment in freedom ever tried since the dawn of civilization.

These inexperienced, ill-equipped, historical ignoramuses, seek to destroy the personal initiative and drive for excellence that is God-given and protected by the Constitution in order to achieve an "equality of outcomes" that was NEVER guaranteed by our Founders because they were very aware that not all persons are equally endowed with the motivation to achieve success and due to the frailty of "human nature" would seek to pull themselves up only by pulling those more motivated and thus more successful down. This vision of a "classless" society has only ever resulted in an equal distribution of misery ("malaise days"), presided over by an oligarchy.

May God help us all and awaken the "walking dead" Obama supporters!

I asked my grandchildren if they are being taught American history and they all said no. This subject, is apparently taboo in schools of today, due to all the different groups who might be offended. Anyone attending USA public schools, should learn the reasons why the United States of America was founded, and the sacrifices made by many to keep it free. The history of the United States, and it's founding fathers is not something that should be forgotten, political correctness, be damned!
