Message | Freeing the schoolhouse from the bureaucratic chains of a centralized government is a neccesity that can never be ignored. The first item on the Dixiecrat agenda is, without exception, to give education to the people who know how to govern it best: the parents, the teachers, the boards of education, and all at the local level. We will continue to maintain Sekowo's noble policy of totally subisidizing all of eduation by use of the Cajun Voucher system. |
