Deep forests, vast prairies, breathtaking mountains, mighty rivers… four-hundred years ago, America called to people yearning for a utopia - a good place — to show the world what a society purged of evil could be like. The Puritans came across the sea and planted its “city on a hill” - the Plymouth Bay Colony. Quaker William Penn acquired a colony, — Pennsylvania — Penn’s woods; where one of any religious view could find a home, -–even Lutherans. To America came more utopias. Shakers and Harmon…

How can I see where i stand in the leaderboard in sports?
Excellent post, JK! Seems like we are witnessing the DC equivalent of the pulling back of the curtain in the Wizard of Oz, revealing the sputtering and incompetent boobs behind the DC curtain. Unfortunately for those DC miscreants, the entire world is watching as their corruption and grift is exposed and the normal people of the US are disgusted 🤮. Elon Musk is the perfect person to orchestrate the defenestration of the DC mob - he has no dog in the hunt as he’s rich beyond comprehension and s…
Wow. Everyone was taking about it a few short weeks ago. But since you didn't like any questioning about your heroes, you never took really took it in. Now it has been completely deleted from your memory files.
To jog your memory or a place to start googling: Why was Vivek thrown under the bus. This is a perfect opportunity for you to learn something about yourself.
What I heard was a Man frustrated at what has become obvious in this country, we have changed from a national with a wonderful education system that covered needs for all the people, to a national that spends more per student and is #40 of 40 developed nations on tests. The Deep State has just about succeeded in turning us into a national that spends of know-nothing lemmings. When Vivek looked around, he stated the obvious, there are not enough “smart” people here to man the high tech revolutio…
You clearly have zero understanding of what the DoE actually does, ArizonaBoy...it does not set curricula - that is done at the State level. DoE only ensures that the disadvantaged have SOME hope of getting a foothold in the education system.
Since the DOE has Ben in DC, the achievement scores have declined in 4th and 8th grades. My daughter is a fourth grade teacher and the cirriculum she aches explains why. The idiot education administrations need to do a class on child development as they ignore the stages of mental development totally. I have been involved in tutoring two generations of kids and have seen the lapse of the learning of math. The biggest deal IMHO, is the denial of the importance of Math facts and the memorization of basic arithmetic. Reading and writing have the same problems. Look at yourself, name-calling to express yourself. The last four years of DEI have just made things worse as tests still are going down and the idiocy of the Covid shutdowns supported by the head of NEA have created a three year period of pupils falling behind. These kids are handicapped for a lifetime because of the foibles of the DOE. Also, the disadvantaged have not improved any more than the rest of the kids.
