Remember that part of the 1st Amendment?<br /><br />Good. That means that parents SHOULD be able to move their chilluns away from teachers who propose un-American solutions to American problems.<br /><br />I have no problem with the Feds being a lender for college loans--but I would limit the dollars/student/year to, say, $5K. That way, colleges won't get too frisky with Big Money.<br /><br />As to scholarships? Maybe. I don't like the Feds calling 'winners/losers'. You'd have to overcome that argument.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-51138743784047312252011-01-06T12:02:04.079-06:002011-01-06T12:02:04.079-06:00"your taxpayer dollars are funding the promot..."your taxpayer dollars are funding the promotion of Alinsky's literature. ERIC is the DOE's "Education Resources Information Center". And ERIC proudly boasts works by Alinsky and other Marxists including:..."<br /><br /><br />Gotta love spreading unwarranted fear in the name of protecting the chilluns from "nefarious" reading materials. <br /><br /><br />Um, it's called the First Amendment. You know, freedom of speech. The purpose of ERIC is to provide UNLIMITED access to BIBLIOGRAPHIC RECORDS of journal articles and other education-related materials, and links to full text, IF AVAILABLE.<br /><br />But, you know, you're right. I'm sure every able bodied Democrat/liberal is going to rush to read "Democratic Socialism..." and be motivated to start a revolution. Well, that's what you've been calling for, right?<br /><br /> <br />Seriously, ask 10 people on a street in Milwaukee right now the question, "Who is Saul Alinsky?" and MAYBE two people would have heard of the name, let alone know (or care to know) of his philosophies that you find so "offensive".<br /><br /><br />Now, I can agree with you that the Department of Education, among other departments, should be eliminated and/or royally streamlined. <br /><br />For example, I see value in federal money for grants and scholarships. Those types of things, I say keep. You would disagree, perhaps. That's fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
