Laslo Weger - Education Policy

[104,067 opinions•52 issues ]

1 to 10

The public school systems in America would not be improved if they were federalized.

They would improve just like the baggage screeners improved after they got federalized... But seriously, education is a local/state issue, not federal.

Education should not have a higher priority in the federal budget than military spending.

Federal government should not fund education; education is a state and local community issue.

Private schools should not receive public funding.

Once private schools start receiving public funds, the government will want to extend control over them (if they pay for something they have all the rights to control that, right?). And then we will h...

Undocumented immigrants should not be granted in-state tuition benefits.

That is a travesty.

States should not be forced to fund the federally mandated No Child Left Behind Act.

Federales mandate, federales pay.

Schools should not punish students for not reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

The last thing our "free" country needs is punishing kids who do not toe the (party) line. It is just like the old witticism: "Beating will continue until morale improves".

Abstinence-only sex education should not be taught in schools.

As the evidence shows abstinence-only education is at best waste of time and money (that is, causes no change in behavior), and at worst causes raises in teen pregnancy ratio and teen STD ratio.

It is not acceptable for courses on the Bible to be taught in public schools.

Beside the obvious church-state separation issue, there is another one. Over 50% of 18-year-old Americans cannot find New York State on the map of US. Not even half high school kids can calculate aver...

Prayer should not be permitted in public schools.

Besides the obvious establishment clause problems, I have another issue. There is over 20 religions with 1 million or more adherents (and that considering Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox together)...

Universal preschool should not be free in America.

Any "free" thing in America is paid for with my taxes. I do not see any reason for me paying preschool tuition of others' children.
