Funding the Enemy
Funding the Enemy
Oregon's Foolish Senate Republicans
Who should be in favor of cutting public school funding in Oregon - the Ds or the Rs? The Democrats have near complete control of the state educational bureaucracy, which means control of content. The OEA, a far left teachers union, has near complete control over who teaches, meaning spin of the content and control of methods. As a result, radical progressivist agenda items like man-caused global warming, man as the savior of the world, sexual deviancy, and anti-business, pro-socialist rhetoric permeates the public schools and thus Oregon's children's heads and hearts. It should be obvious to any lover of freedom and the American way that the socialist government school system is the most powerful enemy of freedom and freedom's advocates.
The Republicans, who are supposed to be the voice of reason that supports freedom and its expression in, for instance, small businesses, should jump at the opportunity to cut government school funding, at least until the progressivists are tossed out on their collectivist ear.
The Democrat statists clearly want to preserve their biggest propaganda machine - the schools. Their problem is reality. The Lord God still runs the universe, and money is one of the most stubborn realities He has provided, and is very difficult to ignore. This is particularly true when your state's Constitution requires the State to balance its budget. So, in response to this week's announced huge state budget deficit, Gov. Kulongowski (D) has proposed 9% across the board spending cuts, including the schools.
The Republicans should want to de-fund their strongest enemy, the propaganda machine known as public education. Even apart from the worldview considerations raised above, the Rs surely know that the cost to "educate" a child in the public system is far greater than the private schools that also support, for the most part, traditional values and freedom. The public school system is like the leech in Proverbs 30 and Bill Idol, always crying out for "more, more, more." It is now as fat as a blood-sucking bloated tic.

But, amazingly, the Senate Republicans have instead publically gone on record as opposing the proposed 9% public school cuts, saying that public school funding should be one of our top priorities, and spared from such deep cuts. .
Perhaps the Rs are just using this as a political ploy. Either way, their public efforts to avoid cutting the funding of their enemy is either stupid of a lie.
And that's why this State is a mess, and why we need to fight the battle within the Republican party.
