Irrationality in Education

Isn’t the Dept. of Ed. under the Federal Government? Well, it’s way past time to abolish it!. If you missed the news today about the final straw to break the back of reason, note that the Dept. of Ed. will give $56,000 to the Chardon, Ohio school where 3 students were killed last year by a ‘nut job.’ The money will pay for 1. a security guard, 2. Mental health screenings, 3. Pay for substitute teachers for days regular teachers need to take off for trauma counseling. 3 such strikes against reason and proper use of taxpayers’ funds should call this useless bureaucratic agency out. Why install a security guard, counseling and screenings? After the ‘nut job’ escaped from the barn, what good comes from locking the barn door? He won’t strike again; get over the tragic reality. Try announcing that lack of proper parenting and liberal educational policies cause all of our present societal problems. Lay that guilt trip on the appropriate sources.
