Higher education is a right. George W. Bush went to Yale, do I need to say more?

Colleges should allow fraternities and sororities. Not everyone is a social creaturen, and for those that aren't these organizations provide a great place of acceptance.

Private schools should not receive public funding. That funding can be used to make public schools better

There is political bias in academia. Its hard to teach without taking a stand

Abstinence-only sex education should not be taught in schools. Since its not the only choice, people should be taught what all their options are.

It is acceptable for courses on the Bible to be taught in public schools. As long as the students understand that's one way of looking at the world, and not the only way

Public schools should not make contraceptives available to students. They should teach about them, but not hand them out

I rate America's education system "Unsatisfactory." Considering our economic power in the world, I don't think we should be satisfied with our educational system in general for the mass majority.

High school students should be required to pass an exit exam in order to earn a diploma.

Race should not be a factor when assigning students to public schools. Easier said than done.

Teachers should not receive performance-based merit pay. How do you measure a teacher's performance subjectively?

Public schools should not require students to wear uniforms. Freedom of expression is important.

Prayer should be permitted in public schools. Isn't it a constitutional right to be who you are

There should be a foreign language requirement in public schools. In the global world we live in, it would be a shame not to prepare the future generation to work with others around the world.

Schools should not punish students for not reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. The beauty of this country is that one has the right to stand up for their beliefs, even if they are against the majority or considered "un-patriotic".

Race should not be a factor in the university admission process. I don't buy the idea of race being a factor in university admission. I can understand financial situations being considered.

American schools should not offer bilingual classes for native Spanish-speakers. I think it only empowers a person when they can speak more than 1 language.

A school should not have the right to require that a student take Ritalin or similar drugs. No, I think a school should not have the right to force anyone to take any medication. That should be the responsibility of the doctor or health care professional. However, if a student is diagnosed for example to take anti-psychotics for schizophrenia
