Secretary Cardona conducted a Back to School public education "bus tour" and recently stopped in Wisconsin. This bus tour is a true waste of taxpayer dollars!

We need to end the Federal Department of Education. The Heritage Education Freedom Index has Connecticut public education ranked at #50 overall! What reflection on our former CT Secretary of Education is this!

The Foundation's 2024 Report provides Education Freedom rankings for a national report card.

The trend of the Connecticut public education system continues to devolve as the overall rank of #50 demonstrates.

Education Freedom is an outlier of the Connecticut scores, coming in at 37. This most likely is due to the strength in parents knowing their Right to educate one's child. Seeing the decline in enrollment is also a variable to review.

Not only have the academic scores continued to plummet, but the Return on Investment (ROI) puts Connecticut at #49, this year.

State statistics, like the Smarter Balanced scores, reflect dismal results and post-Covid learning loss.

The "great schools" Connecticut public school mantra was lost years ago, probably about the time Common Core or the Common Core Crosswalk slithered into Connecticut schools in 2008.

Locally, parents need to stand up to DEI, CRT, "Pizza Sex" and Gender Ideology Indoctrination programs such as Second Step, and remove pornographic, obscene books from the schools' libraries -- funding the schools is a major strain on the taxpayers with an ROI rank of #49.

Parents and family are having to provide an antidote to the education they are receiving during the school day.

The Federal Department of Education, which has only existed since 1979 under Jimmy Carter, definitely needs to be retired, as does Cardona's bus tour, and let's return public education to the local school board instead.

Cardona botching President Reagan’s quote;
“He said, "I think it was President Reagan who said, '’We're from the government. We're here to help.’’

What President Reagan actually said;
In actuality, the quote from Reagan, which came from a press conference in 1986, read, "The nine most “terrifying”words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’"

He left out the main purpose of the quote. Really!!! He is FOS and drowning our children in ignorance.

They'll be naming a school after him soon in Meriden.
