Bernie Sanders: America must end high-stakes testing, finally invest in public education

[Hortensis]

2. Not finally. Our liberal democracy has been "investing" in universal education,

which is to say ourselves, since our very beginning. Universal education is absolutely critical to liberal government of, by and for the people and a huge, huge reason we were able to become a great and prosperous nation.

So the game plan is, FIRST, make liberal values once again dominant in government by removing the power of conservatives to sabotage our educational systems. I.e., vote Democratic. All else can only, but will, follow from that.

I notice that Sanders, who once openly called for eliminating compulsory education, speaks now only of public education. It'd be nice to hear that he's changed his mind because increasingly fascistic Republicans are moving toward eliminating both universal and compulsory education

A huge danger for the future . Lack of universal education is pointed to as the single biggest reason why Argentina, with so many of the same initial advantages we have, never became a great nation. There, the RW colonial leaders, with the common strong-conservative distrust and disrespect for education and fear of the people, prevailed.

Liberalism.
