The audacity of politicians is astounding

Be it local, state, or federal, money and ego and agendas have trumped citizen interests. This is not normal, this is just what has evolved. Be it the Gwinnett County Georgia annual school budget of $1.4 billion dollars, or the Duke University annual budget of almost the same $1.4 billion dollars, our local politicians and teachers have much responsibility, but too little accountability. Most parents just expect the basics as in a normal child sent to be educated will come out educated. Most do not expect indoctrination. This is different from the past since indoctrination does go on. In the “old” days, there was not enough time after the basics to indoctrinate. The basics took all the available time. Now indoctrination type subjects trump the basics. How about pet care as an elective in Wake County, NC. Now a candidate for Miss SC Teen cannot even speak coherently to answer a geography type question. And the school system follow-up promotes her as a 3.5 GPA good student. How sad.

For those that perceive America’s problems from their point of view, and where they live and sit, good on ya. There is much work to be done to lead where we and our children should go. This idea is America, nothing less.
