Keep public education free from the influence of the Right and the Left.
Yeah, right. You've already told us you despise education, period, neocon.
It's well-established that the radical right prefers privatized indoctrination centers to public schools, especially if they're run by religious nuts in bed with Republicans. Mostly because their teachers will work really cheap, since they're not actually qualified to work in real schools.
Republican judges have been known to deny students anything more than an eighth-grade education, probably to make sure Wal-Mart gets an adequate pool of cheap labor. Republicans naturally prefer their minions to be ignorant, compliant, and, above all, low-cost. And you achieve all three by trashing public schools.
Thanks for playing.
