It's about time that the citizens recognized that we as a people can no longer sit back and let the minorities run our country.  Have we sat back and watched for too long?  That's going to be the question.  We have a bi-racial President who would not produce a birth certificate.  What happens if it's proven that he is not a US citizen?  Do we get our money back?  I would really like for him to stop flying around the world on my dime.  His trip to Denmark, on my dime, to "pimp" Chicago is the grossest waste of taxpayer money so far.  If he felt compelled to do this he should have taken a day off without pay, booked a flight on a commercial aircraft, paid for it himself, and gone as a regular citizen.  What is he neglecting while he does this public service for Chicago?  People who won't stand, much less say the pledge of allegiance to the flag now have their kindergarten classes pledging allegiance to Barack Husein Obama, chanting his name in songs.  There have been Muslim prayer meetings on the White House lawn...(so they say on line) but our children can't observe a moment of silence during school because they might pray?  No prayers at football games?  Funny how no one was offended by these pre-game prayers when all of us 50 somethings went to school.
Folks, we need to stand up and take back our country if it's not too late!  Go to a County Commission Meeting, a City meeting, find out what is going on in your neck of the woods.  Join your PTA/PTO, go to school board meetings, get involved with your children and school.  We have to see what's going on and stop the negative impact of our government on our society.  Our President thinks our kids need to attend school year round and that their day should be longer because they aren't keeping up with other countries.  They don't need longer days or more days, they need quality days.  Get rid of the TASP and other tests that don't really measure anything except how much money is going into the test companies pocket.  Give the time back to the teacher so he/she can TEACH what the kids need to know to survive.  Final exams should be the ONLY exit exams for high school Seniors.  For college entrance, do well on the ACT or SAT.  If the teacher can get back to the basic principles instead of teaching to tests, students won't need remedial college classes.  Some where along the line we have decided that EVERYone should attend college.  Why?  We have millionaires who never finished high school, we have genious's who would rather be janitors.  Isn't that their right?  Isn't that what freedom is?  The ability to chose one's future should be left to each individual.  Teachers should be allowed to do their jobs, free of over testing, so that students are prepared.  Education has turned into a money maker.  The colleges make more money the longer a student has to stay there.  That's why all these tests need to be eliminated.  If you make a good score on your ACT or SAT, go to college.  If your classes prove difficult, hire a tutor, study more, party less and be determined to suceed.  Too many students that don't test well are wasting time and money in remedial classes that don't count for anything.  Give them the knowledge they need to suceed, not tests.
