Parent of dying boy has to prove her son can’t take standardized test

[The Straight Story]

16. Good

For all we know she has some hidden christian agenda like them durn people who want the government to allow them a choice to home school their kids.

. The U.S. Department of Education sent a letter warning lawmakers to keep assessing all children, and one Florida Education Department spokesman told me that “waivers do not apply to students with a chronic situation.”

Yep, we need them dudes in suits that will never even meet our kids to keep prodding them along the way they best see fit because they know best. Not us, the teachers, parents, local school boards - we need to make sure those folks in DC have the power to make decisions for us because...well we suck and might have secret hidden agendas.

The few know what is best for the many all across this country and parents whining about this just don't care about kids getting the education they need. We want only those tested who can prove their worth in ways that employers and government officials think best. The 1% are there because they are better, smarter, more capable and if we just let them run our lives and lives of our children like a business we can all be in the 1%!

Less choice. More force. Less people locally making decisions. We will become one, a collective.

And those, like the child in this story, will be found that they do not belong. No 'special' treatment. Either you pass the tests of purity laid down by the few on the many or you do not.

That is true freedom.
