Dan Severson on Education

 


Feds have no constitutional role in education

The federal government has no constitutional role in the education of our children. It is essential that parents maintain control over what and how their children are taught. That requires choice. Parents should be empowered through vouchers or tax credits at the state level to ensure their child's success. Radical special interest groups have abused the classroom to promote their agendas rather than prepare our children to compete globally. Students should be taught how to think, not what to think

Constitutionally protected right to prayer

Religious Expression--Americans have a constitutionally protected right to exercise their religion. The Constitution was written in an atmosphere of prayer. The First Amendment's prohibition of an establishment of religion was intended to protect the right to religious expression, not usurp it. Put simply, government should never force religious observance, nor should it restrict it.
