Who's "they"? We elect the school boards that pick the curriculum that's taught in the schools. I see new parents that use "smart" phones as baby sitters and then bitch when the kids can't add or spell.
Nice payback for campaign money.
it has about 95% done by the state board of ED. Must have this n this n this. I dont think school can even make electives. Within courses too is guidelines to what is taught ontop of that.
One thing is for sure - the avg. "regular" American, regardless of political party - will never ......... NEVER get a fair shake when filthy-rich people are running things. They legislate for their benefit, and those other filthy-rich benefactors who dump trainloads of cash into their campaigns. When folks like the Koch brothers/family can fork over $800 million to the Republican party in one election cycle as they did a few years ago, and other multi-billionaires write checks for $250 million and up ....... they do it with the confidence/knowledge that they'll get at least that much back in return. Can no one see this??? In what way does a billionaire care about the struggles of "regular" Americans??? Or democracy??? Democracy is NOT in the interest of billionaires. They want all laws (including tax laws) to favor themselves - not us "regular" Americans. That's why they shifted the bulk of the U.S. tax burden onto us "little people" as billionairess Leona Helmsley once championed. Her quote, ".... taxes are for the little people."
