LIBERTY & INDEPENDENCE

Parents, students, and teachers have raised a tremendous uproar over new Common Core State Standards, yet little has been done beyond making noise. Governments at every level continue to move forward with their plans, and the outlook is bleak. Our country is headed for educational ruin which could have disastrous consequences for generations to come. What our education system needs is not more government, but rather more liberty and independence. Our country was founded on the natural rights principle, and it’s time more of us exercised these rights in education. It’s time for an American Revolution in education.
