Bachmann scares the shit out of me. That said, I can understand the arguments against the DOE.

I was speaking generally about the average american. Can you honestly say that the average american gives a flying fucking about the education system in Canada? Russia? Anything beyond their immediate lives? I sure can't

federal power cuts both ways. if a bachmann type gets elected, creationism could be forced on all the schools in the country.

The US department of education is a fucking failure. Deal with it.

believe that is mostly due to the 'no child left behind' initiative.. uncle in cali was saying the initiative really didn't do anything to address the educational issues facing kids today

They majority elected George Bush, followed by a guy with two months of relevant experience who candidly admitted he was completely unqualified and didn't know what he was doing.
