What Forum?

There are many.

In your estimation, should there even be a Federal Department of Education?

The entire federal government should be at least 2/3 smaller than it is.

Maybe. But what about your view regarding the Department of Education?

We are not the ones who began to send in groups of MEN in Easter hats and dresses spread eagle in front of 2nd graders hanging out reading books to them since 2020. That is your School system. The one you work in, you all allow it. Why don't you go on strike or quit? Why do you vote 99% D? because your union reps change your vote or force you?

Unfortunately, education has become politics.

Every fucking thing is now political.

Only because the fucking culture warriors can't mind their own business. We've got to get back to live and let live.

I agree.

• THE ART OF CITIZENSHIP

The Role of Education​

​

---

"To give to every citizen the information he needs...to understand his duties to his neighbors and country...to know his rights..."​

- Thomas Jefferson, 1818​

A Closer Look​

The Idea​

Thomas Jefferson believed only educated citizens could make the American experiment in self-government succeed. He proposed a system of broad, free, public education that was radical in his day and his founding of the University of Virginia partially achieved his larger goals.

Yet in Jefferson's lifetime and beyond, Blacks, both free and enslaved, were denied citizenship and women were excluded from full citizenship. Education was a key factor in the struggle of Monticello's enslaved community and their descendants to win their rights to full citizenship.

The impact of these endeavors and the legacy of Jefferson's ideas about accessible and equal education can still be seen today, as Americans continue to debate the ends, ways, and means to provide for a well-informed citizenry.

But the Hereditary Plutocratic Oligarchy Owns the Government

Write your congressman.

We send them love letters every day, but nothing

I'm beginning to think we are being spurned.

To whom was this post directed?

 

[Unkotare]

Anyone else notice that almost no one actually posts about education in the education forum?

No, the posters here *make* it political with their pearl-clutching nonsense
