But the current Democratic Leadership is not all that interested in public education anyway they are into corporate education and testing nonsense too.

It is now time to end free public education in America.

Me thinks I am going to get others riled up and go out an kill public ed in America. I do not want my tax dollars supporting this and I can sure find a whole bunch of bipartisan agreement too.

End public education in my state and property taxes will drop by 60%, I will garner lots of support.
