“School days, school days,
Dear old golden rule days
Reading and writing and ‘rithmetic,
Sung to the tune of a hickory stick…”
Our public schools have changed, and not for the better. Ever since the Democrat President, Jimmy Carter, created the Department of Education in 1979, America’s education rankings have fallen. A generation ago, the United States ranked first in the world in higher education, today U.S. ranks near the bottom in a survey of students’ math skills in 30 industrialized countries.

Hundreds of school counselors talk about the horrible uptick in anxiety among children.
After the death of Taft and as the Eisenhower foreign policy began to take on the frozen Dullesian lineaments of permanent mass armament and the threat of “massive nuclear retaliation” throughout the globe, I began to notice isolationist sentiment starting to fade away, even among old libertarian and isolationist compatriots who should have known better. Old friends who used to scoff at the “Russian threat” and had declared The Enemy to be Washington, DC now began to mutter about the “international Communist conspiracy.” I noticed that young libertarians coming into the ranks were increasingly infected with the Cold War mentality and had never even heard of the isolationist alternative.

Over twenty years ago now, my wife and I worked for a Christian home schooling program in Illinois. One day a public school teacher, from someplace in New York, called up and wanted information about the home schooling program we had. In talking to her I tried to ascertain why she was interested in home schooling, seeing that she was a public school teacher. After all these years, I still remember her answer. I never forgot it. She said something like “I work here every day. No way do I want my daughter going to school here.” I thought at the time – what a resounding vote of confidence for the public school system from one of its own. Folks, when even the public school teachers don’t want their kids “educated” in the system they work for, you know there is something wrong.
