After much debate and consideration of all of the test results, rankings, data, opinions and “facts” regarding Michigan’s education standards (Common Core), curriculum and testing methods,…I personally believe that ALL Conservatives/TEA Party/Patriot and child advocacy groups should be demanding the following regarding K-12 Education and it’s funding here in our State;

1.)  PARENTS,….(NOT Federal, State OR EVEN Local governments) should control our Children’s Education;

PARENTS,…informed enough to request the Federal and State funds that are currently being spent on their children’s education, they should be given a “My EDU Card” (like a Bridge Card) with those funds on it.

PARENTS,…should become “Consumers of Education” for their children’s educational choices.  Competition between various educational options,…should be “Purchased” with those funds on their “My EDU Card”.

PARENTS,…should be able to have the option to purchase education from their local Christian School or use those funds to Home-School their children,…as well as Private or Charter schools.

2.)   DO NOT PURCHASE EDUCATION FROM ANY SCHOOL THAT RECEIVES FEDERAL FUNDING;

We the People KNOW that with Federal involvement via funding, comes control, socialist/communist agendas and strings attached!  Continuing to choose federally funded education will continue the failed results we are experiencing today and will NOT affect the changes we need in education,…NOW.

3.)   TAKE THE CHILDREN AWAY FROM UNION TAUGHT PUBLIC SCHOOLS;

The union Bosses dictate agenda, policies and politics that directly influence education.  DEFUND THEM,…by taking the children and those education dollars away from them.  We need to protect the children from them and their liberal, socialist/communist agenda and the indoctrination of our children.

Question,…would you allow your children or grandchildren to attend a classroom being taught by a sexual offender of young kids?  Heck NO,…you say?  Then why do you allow your young people to be indoctrinated with liberal, socialist/communist agendas being pushed by union protected public school teachers?

PLAN OF ACTION;

1.)   Become an advocate for “My EDU Card”.  Tell your family members, friends, co-workers and church members. Talk about “My EDU Card” to fund K-12 education at public meetings of your local, county and state officials.  Start using the phrase,…”My EDU Card”, the REAL SOLUTION for Education in Michigan!!!

2.)   Have your children and grandchildren make plans to be home-schooled or attend a local Christian school (that does not receive federal dollars) for the 2013-2014 school year.   JUST DO IT,…FOR THIS UPCOMING YEAR!!!

3.)   Tell your State Representative, State Senator and Gov. Snyder (all of them are up for re-election in Nov. 2014) that you will NOT vote for them unless they make these changes and fully fund “My EDU Card” for the State of Michigan’s parents that want the use of those Federal and State funds to educate their children as they deem necessary.  Tell them that we want to become “Consumers of Education,…and purchase it”!!!

We need to be “FOR” changes that will affect real improvements in K-12 education,…not simply “AGAINST” standards like the Common Core!!!
