      Oh God please! He‘s talking about educating children so the United States doesn’t continue to fall farther and farther behind of other countries in the percentage of our population that has a degree beyond High School (currently we’re ninth). Advanced education is for the elite who want to destroy this country. Neither Rush nor Beck graduated from college, and Palin went to five colleges before she got a degree, in something I’m not sure what. Because of the education system, people who get degrees and especially advanced degrees have been brainwashed by the liberal elite.

      The United States should not support legislation that “advances” our citizens through Universities, Colleges, or Junior Colleges, unless and until those institutions stop teaching liberal ideas about evolution and climate change and the how laws passed by our Government effect the economic distance between the rich and middle class and other topics which we all know are false. We’ll do just fine, thank you very much, if decisions about what to teach our children are left to states and individual school districts.
