The left reminds me of a Ray Bradberry story I once read about a future world where the government had eliminated all that nasty competition by making everyone equal. Of course, the only way to do this was by reducing everyone to the weakest, and least intelligent of us all. People had implants that blasted them with noise to disrupt their thoughts, or wore weights to counteract their physical strength.The Annoyed Man wrote:We DO know, thanks to federal oversight, that they are all receiving the same CRAPPY education!Papa_Tiger wrote:But, but, but... without Federal oversight how will we know that all children are receiving the same quality education across the nation?The Annoyed Man wrote:OK, now you're just making sense.

Then while all the teacher's unions and education lobbyists are screaming and protesting, find another federal "Department of" to shut down and return the responsibility to the states. Continue until federal government is out of the people's everyday lives.![]()
Without federal oversight, it might improve considerably.
Corrected my own blooper above......
The only way to make everyone truly equal would be to reduce us all to a vegetative state. For some reason, the left (who pride themselves on being so much smarter than everyone else) fails to comprehend this basic truth.
