First Priority this term? EDUCATION!

Here's a Facebook comment I found, verbatim, from just before the debate - the discussion was from a few right wingers about how Trump is sure to win:

"Yes trump will win becouse he is fit to be a President Hillary is not fit to many mudder's and lies and all the raping he husband done and Hillary letting that man rape that 12 year old litter girl and Hillary laugh about it"

Seriously Secretary Clinton - Education. Priority one. Please?

is part of what has degraded my profession for the last 2 decades.

As an educator, it's certainly a top priority for me. I'm not looking to Hillary Clinton to be the "savior" of education, though. Democrats have been complicit, and more, in the dumbing down of the nation. Reagan started it. Democrats helped keep it going.

And yes, it's certainly led to a large mass of il- and semi-literate, non-thinking voters.

I wonder if she has the guts to tackle the charter schools.

We need better funded and staffed public schools now!
