Only two reasons for the decline in American education standards: NEA, AFT

I'd like to hear the full context of the question and the answer. We all know that TV networks snip and cut audio and video to suit their agendas.

Real wages have been declining since 1972.

How about Bush's "No Child Left behind". Seems they had to lower the standards to accomplish that bit of nonsense.

Now if only Big Corporations would give a living wage to their employees like they used to, the mom can stay at home again and raise the children..

I blame greed from big corporations and lower wages.

Profit drives everything these days, so it's not too hard to figure that profit is the root problem, not women.

Yeah, one Mr. Bryant is about as up to date and clever on things as your typical rockhead politician. Don't think, just shoot from the lip.

Why? So you can say that the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of Economic Analysis are Kenyan Muslim Socialist propaganda organs?

I question the premise of declining education. What education is declining?

Mothers shouldn't be working. They should be home looking after the children.

The British State, imbued with Left Wing thinking, is hostile to stay-at-home mothers:

Since when was saving your children a 'lifestyle choice'?


By Peter Hitchens
11 August 2013
Daily Mail


The millionare Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne

There’s something a little jaunty about the expression ‘lifestyle choice’. And maybe in the super-rich world of our Chancellor of the Exchequer, this is how full-time motherhood is regarded.

But actually quite a lot of couples view it as a stern duty.

They see the terrifying world of bad schools, bullying, drugs, internet filth and peer-pressure to do the wrong thing, which now menaces children, and they resolve to make their homes a fortress against this.


Being a full time mother is a lifestyle choice according to the Chancellor

To do so, they give up many of the pleasures of life. Families with full-time mothers don’t tend to live in big houses, they often go without holidays and the array of shiny consumer goods that two incomes buy.

They reckon it is worth the sacrifice. They do not expect to be thanked. Far from it.

But they think it a bit much that their heavy taxes go to pay for nurseries for those who choose to have two incomes rather than one.

They learned long ago that the state was suspicious of them and hostile to them.

The New Labour Commissar Patricia Hewitt said back in June 2003 that mothers who stayed at home were a ‘real problem’.

The Tories, who largely supported Labour’s Marxist (see below) ‘Equality’ laws and have their own ‘Equalities’ Minister (Maria Miller), have always acted as if they agreed with Ms Hewitt.

They have subsidised every form of childcare except that done by the child’s own mother.

And now the millionaire Chancellor (what is his name? I can never remember) has airily dismissed the embattled minority of traditional families as indulging in a ‘lifestyle choice’, like smoking or owning an allotment.

He’s just as much an enemy of the strong family as Commissar Hewitt. The minds of the Tories are so empty that they have been colonised by the ideas of the Left.

For instance, where do you think the following quotations come from?

‘Complete equal rights for women and men are anchored in the laws .  .  .’

‘Equal work is obviously rewarded with equal pay, regardless of sex. Women hold many leading positions in society .  .  .’

‘The overwhelming majority of women today do not want to be housewives with nothing more to do than wash and cook and run the home .  .  .’

‘Fathers pushing prams and husbands who have learned to operate domestic appliances more or less perfectly are no longer a curiosity.’

Actually they are in Everyday Life In The GDR, a propaganda booklet published in 1982 by communist East Germany, in praise of itself.

It boasts that the communist state has no need of women’s liberation organisations because their demands have all been met.

And it quotes Karl Marx’s 1868 words: ‘Social progress can be measured precisely in terms of the social status accorded the fair sex.’ (The hairy-faced old brute added the words ‘The ugly ones included’, which would have got him into trouble with the Guardian and the BBC today, and perhaps also an invitation to join UKIP.)

Revolutionaries hate the strong family, the fortress of private life, tradition and individuality. They believe in the parental state, all-wise and all-powerful.

The Tories have taken the wrong side, and betrayed their supporters, on this and on all other issues. No wonder they now have fewer than 100,000 members. They should have fewer than 100,000 voters.
