As of today, there are 73 days until the most consequential electionin American history. This is what they say about many past elections, but this is really it. For if the Democrats seize power – control of the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate and the Presidency – and doing it by hook or by crook (the justifies the means, you know) America as we know it will be forever changed. America envisioned and created by the Founding Fathers will disappear into the shadows of history.
The ungodly secular-humanists/Marxists slow march through America’s institutions over the last 100 years or so will have reached a crescendo – fulfilling Mr. Obama’s fundamental transformation of America. Never again will the demonic Democratic Party relinquish its grip on political power and control of the masses.
Envision with me what a Socialist Democratic Party, takeover, a bloodless coup, a regime change, would look like. This is one in a series of daily articles leading up to the 2020 General Election scheduled for November 3, 2020.
#CommonCore versus #SchoolChoice
When speaking of public or government education this is another area where there is a stark contrast between the communistic Democratic Party and Republican Party. #CommonCore is a set of standards, a one-size fits all approach to instruction. It smells of federal control. While the more conservative elements of the Republican Party prefer local control and giving parents #SchoolChoice, flexibility of where they are to send their children especially if their children are assigned to failing schools, of which there are many.
On one side of the battlefield on the education issue are the monolithic, monopolistic, politically radical leftist powerful teachers union, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and others. On the other side of the issue are many rank and file teachers, parents and conservatives, Christians and liberty-minded patriots and their politicians.
Common Core, Federal Control and Common Failure
Jennifer Courtney in her excellent article, “What is Common Core Curriculum and Why Should You Care?” makes several great observations. First, she writes, “The growth of schools mirrored the westward expansion of the new nation, and, in the mid-19th century, educational leaders began to speak of universal public education. For the better part of this time, local communities set their own educational standards and hired and fired their own teachers. However, there was an agreed-upon base for education, a common core curriculum, if you will. That’s where we get the expression “reading, writing, and arithmetic.”
Courtney discusses local versus federal control, challenges of assessing student progress under common core, the downside of standardized testing in that you begin to teach to the test rather that to educate the student. She drives the last point home, “Perhaps more importantly, it led to a decay of teaching big ideas. In her book, The Death and Life of the Great American School System, Diane Ravitch talks about how the standardized testing movement led to the death of classes like Civics, in which students learned about their nation’s government and about their rights and duties as citizens.”
The article’s author points out, “…The traditional view of education was to cultivate wise and virtuous citizens who could lead themselves and their communities well.”
Courtney concludes her article saying, “If we want to create a true common core curriculum, we should ask bigger questions, like “How can I cultivate students who value the greater good?” “How can I cultivate students who will sacrifice their own interests to protect their fellow citizens?” “How can I cultivate students who truly understand the rights and responsibilities that accompany freedom?” When we are ready to ask those questions, we will be ready to create a common core curriculum that benefits our students, our communities, and our nation.”
School Choice, Local Control and Individual Success
School Choice and Local Control remain core principles or values of the Republican Party Platform. The Republican Platform recognizes that “parents,” not government, “are the child’s first and foremost educators, and opposes common core.” The Republican Platform also supports homeschooling, private or parochial schools, vouchers, and tuition tax credits, etc. The Republican Platform also encourages teaching the Bible as an elective in public schools.
One positive result of the Communist Chinese coronavirus is that parents got a taste of what their students are learning or what they should be learning. Hope a large segment of the population will take the opportunity to homeschool there kids and instill their values instead of the hedonistic, humanistic values so prevalent in public education today…
Tomorrow we will look at a few more things that differentiate the two main political parties in education.
