Over at Powerline, I just came aware of a new group that the Left is going to really hate a lot – a group, Free to Learn, that is saying “No, not OUR Children”:
The Free to Learn Coalition advocates for classrooms independent of political influence. We do this by partnering with parent and community groups that are ready to take on political activism at their school. We provide tailored coaching, local support, planning, and resources to counter the unique challenges within a community.
Go ahead, review the reports that say which Party is the recipient of teacher donations and THEN tell me that teachers and teachers unions are “non-partisan”. And this group, like others that are rapidly forming, are activating parents to save their kids from people who are insistent on ignoring Parents’ wishes.
…While the U.S. continues to fall behind other nations in basic skills like reading, writing, math, and science, the most important decisions regarding a student’s education are being made by school administrators behind closed doors and are increasingly influenced by political activists.
And School Board members that act like the stone faced Easter Island statues – they just stare at you as you are asking questions of them. They really don’t care what Parents are concerned with and are finding out the hard way that Parents ARE going to be taking control back over their children.
…Schools should be free of curriculum and programs driven by political activists, and instead make space for children to do what they do best – learn, grow, and create.
Take a gander:
