Why? Because public schools and universities are not responsible to parents and students. They are not responsible to actually educate our children and young adults. They are beholden to the bureaucracy and unions that sustain them. Also many teachers and administrators believe it is their right to impose their ideological views on students and they are protected by the bureaucracy and unions.
So, what can be done? First and foremost, the GOP has to re-establish itself as the unapologetic standard bearer of Capitalism. Second, the GOP must take up the cause of school reform in an activist way. We need to protect the right of home schooling, expand vouchers for school choice and assure that good teachers are retained through merit pay and that tenure is eliminated so that bad teachers can be "encouraged" to find other lines of work.
Nothing more than the fate of the United States of America is at stake. We can't be willing to sit back and hope we won't become the "Socialist State of America". Despite what our current President says hope is not a strategy. Only specific, measurable action designed to perpetuate our liberties is a strategy for us to follow.
