Obama control of education system

As part of the Obama Administration's plan to infiltrate and control all aspects of American life, U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan is currently promoting the idea that all 50 States should have their education systems adopt national standards for math and science. The federal government is making available $350,000,000.00, money from the pockets of the taxpayer, to assist in that implementation. So far 46 States have agreed.

The real issue here is: Why have Alaska, South Carolina, Texas and Missouri refused to do so? The answer is not complicated and is not a secret. To grasp the answer you merely have to read a quote on the subject from Secretary Duncan, "...50 States doing their own thing doesn't make sense."

What an absolutely honest but surely unintended statement from Secretary Duncan. President Obama and his handlers do not want the 50 States of this union to do or to be able to do anything of an independent nature. All power and therefore all authority must be centered in and from Washington. The above said four States have chosen to do "their own thing."

Each of the States that has agreed to this educational national standard idea will now be compelled to arrange a curriculum that will lend itself to that national standard. State schools can reach success only by meeting a standard established and monitored by Washington, not the individual State, not the county and not the citizens of a particular school district. Failure to meet that level of federally set competency will allow Washington to exercise increasingly greater control over the school systems. Washington would control the once State schools and, as a consequence, control the minds of our children, the rising generation of voters.

Obama's staff is politically sharp and sees the long range picture. Unfortunately, our leaders in 46 States missed that obvious implications of buying into this idea of a national educational standard.
