Do you believe that the way to improve education in Pennsylvania is to increase bureaucratic control (school boards, teachers unions, department of education, the federal government, etc.), and, uncontrolled spending of tax dollars by the government? The answer is clearly NO! This is the implementation of MARXISM. The 10th plank of the Communist Manifesto is Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production. Pennsylvanians are being 'un-constitutionally' taxed out of their homes and properties to support what we call public schools. These schools are regulated by government without consideration of the principles of the parents who have to send them there. Even private schools are government regulated. The purpose is to train the young to work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based "Education". These are used so that all children can be indoctrinated with the government propaganda, like "majority rules", and "pay your fair share". If you don't believe me just look at your children's history (social studies) books. Where are the words "fair share" in the Constitution for the United States, The Bill of Rights, or the Constitution for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania? Absolutely no where! Don't take my word for it though just go read them yourself.

PLAN OR FRAME OF GOVERNMENT FOR THE COMMONWEALTH OR STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA 1776 SECT. 44. A school or schools shall be established in each county by the legislature, for the convenient instruction of youth, with such salaries to the masters paid by the public, as may enable them to instruct youth at low prices: And all useful learning shall be duly encouraged and promoted in one or more universities.

Current Pennsylvania Constitution - Article 3 Section 14: Public School System

The General Assembly shall provide for the maintenance and support of a thorough and efficient system of public education to serve the needs of the Commonwealth.

Our schools today are neither thorough nor efficient. But still, once again it states that it is the duty of the legislature and the people to control this not a school board. I say that our legislators and we the people are failing our children miserably. Our government run, Public School and Public University system costs three to four times more than it should and yet they do a poor job of educating the children. The worst aspect of government schools is that they are actively promoting and indoctrinating our children in the ideas of Marxism, big government, central planning, government run education, fiat currency or paper money, environmental extremism, forced unionism, evolution, feminism, homosexuality and socialism in general.

The intent of the Founding Fathers was that the states through their legislature and the people control the standards of education and facilities. The federal government has no business setting national standards and implementing policy like no child left behind for the states to have to comply with. Like it says, it is the legislatures duty, and the legislature must listen to the people, not a school board who has no 'Constitutional Authority' what so ever. The people are in control where rights are not enumerated in the Constitution as the 9th Amendment in the Constitution for the United States says: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Or as the 10th Amendment in the Constitution for the United States says: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

To fix education we must allow schools to be competitive without government regulation. Why do we allow competitive Businesses to produce the goods and services that we consume, but yet we accept whatever the government gives us for education? Because we have forgotten the way things could be if they were grounded in the PRINCIPLES OF THE CONSTITUTION'S instead of governmental control. The answer to an effective and supreme school system is competition, and choice. The monopoly of the government over education must end.

Imagine what would happen with true competition in school choice, with students and parents becoming truly empowered consumers instead of prisoners and slaves, in today's education system. We would have an explosion in educational innovation, and unprecedented improvements as competition and choice systematically eliminated poor teachers and poor schools.

The people and politicians who believe in the SOCIALIST and COMMUNIST concepts, especially those who pass more and more un-constitutional acts implementing the Communist Manifesto over the Constitution, are traitors to their oath of office and to the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
