I try to listen to American historian David Barton’s radio program WallBuilders Live as much as possible. He cited a recent (2007) poll which found that 65% of those polled wanted school choice. In researching that assertion I found that a poll was indeed done recently in Texas and found 65% of those who participated in that survey favored school choice.
It is my contention that that is what the majority of Americans want as well. However, we are up against a powerful and entrenched academic and education elite that opposes any loss of government school funding. The National Education Association (NEA) and other left wing controlled and dominated teachers unions intensely lobby see any competition as an anathema.
I heard a recent news story that one school district has gone to a group of home-schooling parents and asked them what they want in order for their student to return to the public schools system. There appears that there might be a crack in the education bureaucracy’s hard shell.
In Ohio one of the seemingly top priorities for the newly elected Democrat governor, Ted Strickland, was an attempt remove most of the voucher program from the state budget. I believe some of the funding had been restored, but there will be an on-going battle with this teacher-union backed Ohio’s top executive. To retain total domination and control of the government schools is one of the chief ways that the left has advanced some of its most vile components of their anti-American values, anti-Christian, anti-God agenda.
Ever since the 1960s when the United States Supreme(ly deceived) Court ruled to “remove” God from and prayer from the government schools there has been a continuous indoctrination of American children in the tenets of the secular humanist religion. The high priests and priestesses lackeys of the NEA, immoderate progressive leftists and whole host of their comrades have sought to destroy the moral foundations of our great nation. Once right and wrong was taught in our schools. Character development was once considered to be utterly important. Children were taught reading, writing and arithmetic. Everything now is based on moral relativism and situational ethics. Moral absolutes are shunned more than an Amish girl singing rap in the local bar.

Learn which politicians support school choice options and other issues that may be important to you like prohibiting civil unions or same-sex “marriage” or any special “rights” for homosexuals and lesbians, or like supporting a total ban on abortion or embryonic stem ceil research. It is time the majority of Americans wake up and make their values known. We must stop acquiescing to the minority, especially the immoral minority which has like a cancer spread through much of the living tissue of this nation. It is time for some radical surgery to excise the malignant tumors!
If this is true, then (at least) 35% of Americans hate true freedom.
