Department of Education Should Be Serving Detention

A recently released report from the Dept. of Education's own Inspector General reveals that millions of taxpayer dollars have been spent during the Bush years for promoting policies through advocacy groups and authors.

This questionable practice transforms into outright propaganda, however, when the report reveals that most of the groups and individuals who received these government grants failed to disclose that their work was paid for with U.S. tax dollars. Wait, it gets worse...according to the report, $1.7 million worth or these propaganda grants didn't even result in any visible product!!! Waste, fraud, abuse, neglect and the list goes on. What a model for our children.

This is only the tip of the iceberg when discussing problems with the American educational system. Any school that teaches Intelligent Design on a par with evolution claiming that evolution is only a theory with many gaps is performing the greatest disservice of all to growing minds. Seeking knowledge is one of the primary objectives of the school system and teaching children that accepting a theory on faith and ignoring the extensive testing of the other theory is granting the children a license to believe anything. Wait a minte. Didn't most Americans believe the President.
