Illinois Review reports on the new scheme to hijack your child:
A Communists’ dream education bill is currently in the Senate as witness to the danger of allowing the Department of Education to exist. It is S1787 or "The Full Service Community Schools Act” bill (full text is here), crafted to amend Title V of the Great Society Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. S1787 gives the current administration virtually everything it wants, and then some, even when our laws do not give the federal government any right to meddle in what has been granted to individual states. Actually, they are more than just meddling, they are making enormous, radical changes. Unfortunately, these changes will most likely shape the future of America and thus the future of our children and grandchildren.Big Brother wants them young, away from private hands.
The essence of the new education system, "Community Schools," is to provide every need (every meal, health care, of the student. Although the bill sounds friendly, it is not. Any initiative that shifts the center of a child’s universe away from home, church, and family to that of complete dependence upon a government entity should be seriously questioned. "Community Schools" goes further than just strengthening government's authority over our children. It robs parents of their role, their responsibilities, and the time honored family unit that allows families to unite in a bond of cooperation and love that can only be fully realized by those who have nurtured the child from conception to birth and each stage of that child’s life. Parents are not perfect, but even with all their flaws, nobody loves that child as much as they do. It is in the home in which bonding occurs and most often lasts a lifetime. Is there anything more important for a child than the unconditional love of parents and family? The government thinks there is. They believe they can do a better job of raising our children than we can. No, they cannot!
