Hello Parents For those of you with children in public schools who wish to educate your educators on what the Federal government, The President and Mr. Duncan, Director of the US Department of Education wishes to do to our current system, Send them all this assignment: Dear Principal, Superintendent, Lawmakers, etc IN reply to your approval to accepting a lesson plan from the President and the US Department of Education and disrupt my child's education with this new "civic lesson" I demand that you watch this video with Mr. Duncan explaining how he intends on running the US Department of Education. Afterwards, I demand answer the following 12 simple questions and return this to me today. Non-compliance is not an option. Send this video http://www.ed.gov/news/av/video/2009/04/04282009a.html 1) What are the four goals Mr. Duncan wishes to advance while he is the director of the US Department of Education? 2) Do you disagree with his assessment that "50 States doing their own thing doesn't really make sense?" 3) Have you, as Mr. Duncan states, ever lied to your students (my child) that your curriculum will help promote them through their education "career?" 4) Would you like the State and Local School Board systems to be abolished for a single "common" Federal Education system as Mr. Duncan intends on building? 5) Do you think it is acceptable for the Federal Government to obtain each students (my child's) education records so that "WE KNOW" (the US Department of Education in Washington, DC) everything about each minor in this country? 6) Do you think that by the US Dept. of EDU sending a homework assignment directly to schools, disregarding our current laws and system to review material and approval process through the state and local school boards is appropriate for the US Department of Education to partake in? 7) What type of assignment would you object to that comes to you in this manor? 8) Do you think that the Federal Government should have the power to re-assign teachers from one school to another in the name of "fairness" regardless of where the teacher wishes to teach? 9) Do you think a "common experience" throughout out each of these 50 states can be achieved through the Federal Government taking over our current education system? 10) What do you think would happen to all our local and regional cultures and history if we allowed the federal government to spread its will over all of us without regard the local people? 11) Will you join the parents in protecting our current state and local education system, allowing the people who know the children in their school district to keep jurisdiction over the curriculum of your school? 12) Will you refuse any assignments that come to you from the US Department of Education with going through the normal process every other bit of material MUST go through prior to bringing it to the children (my child) in your school in the future? That's what I'd do. Donna CommentsDavid 10/09/2009 11:22
Mr. Duncan is wrong...totally wrong. 50 States providing education to our students is just as wrong as it can be. It should be thousands of local school districts providing the education our children need as their parents see fit.
