All education is discipleship and for christians must be explicitly christian. We should not be having to pay for an educational philosophy that we fundamentally disagree with(i.e. humanist education). also the constitution of the US does not allow for educational interference. also the government is causing the literacy rate to slip to almost nothing. - diverumve Wed, 10 Jun 2009 11:29:57 +0100 http://jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/4960#comment-1343 The U. S. Constitution does NOT authorize federal involvement in education. (See Article 1, Section 8 and The 10th Amendment) It is a state, local, and individual issue in this country. - Beacon Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:04:19 +0100 http://jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/4960#comment-1342 I am writing you from inside Pakistan. The people of Pakistan and the USA need to be friends. We are part of your world family. Pakistanis strongly admire almost everything we know about the USA including your problems. If only we could have such problems. My name is Aneel. I am 24 and my fiancé, Pawan, lives six hours away near the Swat Valley where there is all this conflict today. We are both the directors of a network of small schools with thousands of students run by young women and mothers. They learn literacy and skills. Women that were trapped in their homes out of fear make us all proud when they read poetry to their husbands and become teachers. These women are making beautiful hand embroidered flowers on patches to sell and pay for their tuition. It would be a great collaboration to send these patches to people in the USA who need work and could make something practical, like shopping bags, out of them as a sort of home business. We could help each other and share the profit. Please take a look at our website www.lwco.org and if you see some possibilities, then join hands with us, your family far away - Pakistan Tue, 09 Jun 2009 22:07:33 +0100 http://jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/4960#comment-1333 More schooling will make a less educated (but better controlled) workforce. That is a fact, because that is the design of public schools. See http://www.deliberatedumbingdown.com/ and download the free report. Charlotte Iserbyt served as Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), U.S. Department of Education, during the first Reagan Administration, where she first blew the whistle on the dumbing down policies being implemented.
