Again, your kids are in a private school. Why are you ranting about the government fixing a private school? Not gonna happen.
If and when someone - anyone - in the federal government advocates getting rid of all local and state school boards, and that every public school in America will report - and be funded by - DC (i.e. like the post office) then I'll pay attention. Otherwise, your comments about the federal takeover of education are ignorant, garbage, and misleading. Therefore, it's hard to take seriously anything else you - or your fellow tin-foil wearers - say.

Jesus, fella! You are drowning in strawmen. I'm responding to YOUR COMMENT about federal takeover, not some imagined paranoia you have assigned to me.
I'm not suggesting there is an imminent takeover of schools afoot, nor have I said as much. I only believe that federal standards baked into CC can be a means to that end if we are not careful - which is the real issue many people have with the standards.
And as for private schools in Lousiana that receive public educations funds, they most certainly are subject to the government oversight tied to those funds. This is the case with my children's school which is the only reason we are teaching the methods of CC in the first place.
