McCain votes to slice education budget and Palin scams expenses?

That paper is trash, don't know where they get that crap...and even worse for you to believe it.

"Our schools have been scientifically designed to prevent over education from happening. The average American (should be) content with their humble role in life, because they're not tempted to think about any other role."

U.S. Commissioner of Education, William T. Harris, 1889

"Independent self-reliant people would be a counterproductive anachronism in the collective society of the future where people will be defined by their associations."

1896 John Dewey

“The children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society that is coming, where everyone would be interdependent."

1899 John Dewey, educational philosopher, proponent of modern public schools

So McCain wants to cut Federal spending on state's public education and in what way is that bad?

Republicans of my generation went to those schools, we learned what we needed and discarded the socialist propaganda.

You could say that being counterproductive anachronisms in the collective society is our calling. You could call it that. We call it being an American loyal to the Constitution.

There is no such thing as a 'right to education', since such a 'right' makes slaves of those who are physically forced to pay or teach for someone else's so called right. For this reason alone public schooling should not be saved, or reformed, but it should be abolished -- as it is a violation of individual (human) rights.

"It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights— the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery— hay and a barn for human cattle."

Alexis de Tocqueville

Makes sense - McCain skated out near the bottom of his class after his father got him into the academy. And Palin only has a bachelors degree after changing schools several times. Not exactly the president of the Harvard Law Review.

Yes they're desperate! What do you expect when they hide behind guns and religion and have no real policies.

In their defense, it's not so much LYING, it's more like they just embellish the truth and leave out the bad parts (like the money Palin lost on the bridge to nowhere before she "flip-flopped" on it)

Did anyone notice that conservatives have no problem when their own people "flip-flop" but it was the entire defense against the Kerry campaign.

I don't think the Federal Government should be involved in education in any way, so it would be impossible for McCain to "vote down much needed education dollars." The accusations against Palin will be addressed as hoaxes in an upcoming article in Newsweek. Read it.

It is a little scary how anti-education the repubs seem to be.

THey want the least educated people to run the country.

They look down on a good education.

Most will argue about science without having a clue as to what it even IS.

Oh snap! the washington post is really getting desperate!
