Description[?]:
"Education is vital importance to our nation and the People's Party has made great strides in reforming education over the years, however they have been brought down by new mis-guided policies that will hurt the education system and leave our kids without a understanding of the real world"-Nate Burton Article 1: Charter School provided a different way of education for students who might need more attention or a different way of learning. We ask that local governments make up how charter schools are funded, devloped and regulated. Article 2: We should allow private colleges but also regulate them to make sure they meet the national requriments. Article 3: If we pay everyones tuition we are going to bankrupt the government. We need to make it we pay up for a certian amount and they pay the rest and have it through scoloarships. Article 4: Let their be private schools but, they must have the same regulations to make sure they are meeting our standards. |

Random quote: "In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up." - Pastor Martin Niemoller |
