Echo chamber of education

The use of single thought is dangerous. Group think, the act of surrounding yourself with only like-minded people, is one of the only things that can kill democracy. This is sadly an issue in our education system. Teachers can’t seem to tell the difference between radical opinion, and essential education. Often confusing or turning off the student population they teach. Sometimes brain washing the minds of their targets – implanting their radical ideas into the mind of our young – a cancer of American democracy

But, this cancer can be cured. Through hard work, and support from open minded educators, we can regain are education system. First, we start with tearing apart common core. The failed education system that has dropped grades not raised them. Since its inception we have seen a steady decrease in student enrollment and graduation – putting schools in debt, and putting more uneducated voters into the world. God knows we need more of those.

Next, we need to take the politics out of education. A secretary of education should not be placed along party lines.

Supreme Court judges aren’t. Why should the people over our education system be? Where talking the future of America here. The wonderful minds of our young are at stake. This can’t stand. We can’t afford to lose this fight.
