Teachers can’t educate, but boy, can they indoctrinate
The Colorado Teachers Association has passed a resolution condemning capitalism, and I couldn’t be more delighted.

State teachers' organization formally disdains Capitalism.
It has long been known that the lowest average SAT scores in any college (that offers an "Education" major) are the Education students.
While it is astounding that anyone living in the Western World would make such a counter-factual claim, one wonders if those teachers could provide an example of a Socialist country that has ever thrived (by any measure). The Soviet Union? Venezuela? North Korea? East Germany? Cuba? Anywhere? And try telling a Scandanavian that their country is "socialist." Then stand back.
I agree with the editorial writer. The Feds technically have no role in Education, but the movement to bring Public Education under control must come at a national level. Parents should get $15k or thereabouts in the form of a voucher, to be used to educate their kids as they see fit - possibly excepting home schooling. I guarantee that there will be public school districts that see the light and start EDUCATING kids.
