Description[?]:
| This comprehensive legislation stipulates that in terms of education policy, we want the good people of this great Commonwealth to be the SMARTEST, BRIGHTEST, and most INNOVATIVE citizens in the entire Terran universe. On the planet Earth, the United States might be the greatest political democracy, but the people are the DUMBEST when compared to the Chinese and Japanese. This is so b/c Oriental nations on that planet invest heavily in Education resources as a Fundamental Right. Therefore, this legislation revolutionarily renovates the FAILED public school system for an efficent Free-Market based approach that involves COMPETITION. It is only with competition that the price of education will fall while the QUALITY rises: (1) We suspend the management of Pre-schools to Local Governments; The Federal Gov't shouldn't be bogged down babysitting toddlers; (2) (a) Nationalizes all PUBLIC schools--[not private b/c we're not socialists]--under the Dept. of Education in Port Nelson; (b) Next, once the Federal has control and ownership of these Public Schools, this stipulates that all of those schools--[the land, property, resources]--will be transferred directly to all of the Public School Teachers' Union collectively so that they can have PRIVATE OWNERSHIP & CONTROL of the Land, Property, and Resources of the schools, thus managing them as their own private corporation paying corporate tax, income tax, etc. while working for a Profit Dividend rather than a miniscule wage; (c) Finally, the Federal Gov't fully (100%) subsidizes the cost of private Elementary & Secondary School tuition for the citizentry; (d) cf. http://www.nycfamilies.org Thank you for your full support!!! |

| Message | A private school system subsidized by the government would be subject to the same economic and bureaucratic abuses as the public schools system, but we are willing to give it a chance for the sake of change. |
| Date | 15:22:38, August 09, 2007 CET | From | Deus Ex Machina Party | To | Debating the Make Rutanians Universally SMART Act!!! |
| Message | We believe that this system was fine before, when there were two equal and competitive school systems. |
| Date | 17:00:22, August 09, 2007 CET | From | Capitalist Working Families | To | Debating the Make Rutanians Universally SMART Act!!! |
| Message | Actually, there was NOT two "equally competitive" school systems b/c the GOVERNMENT maintained a MONOPOLY of the public school system. I am advocating a blanket PRIVATIZATION of the entire system which would mean that a private school MARKET would emerge: (1) Catholic School System; (2) Baptist School System; (3) Athiest School System; (4) Corporate School System; (5) Jewish School System; (6) Muslim School system; (7) etcccccccccccccc... Thanks again for your full support!!! |
