Protect Academic Freedom and Homeschooling Rights

The establishment (both Republicans and Democrats) is constantly trying to force its agenda on the populace in many ways, but it’s done most insidiously through the public education. Anyone who opposes government education programs is labeled as being against helping the poor. HR 4137 is the latest attempt at giving federal government even more control schools and this time they want to tighten their grip on colleges. This bill would be another step towards total control of government over the colleges, allowing no academic freedom whatsoever. This will be a purging of ideas deemed “dangerous” by the intellectual elite. Professors will not only be under the microscope of school administrators, such as those mentioned in Ben Stein’s No Intelligence Allowed, but now the very (federal) government itself will start closely examining the content of classroom lectures and materials on everything from quarks to world history to make sure that it is in line with official government “truth”. Read more about this with the link below and contact your congressman and tell him or her to oppose HR 4137.
