Unlike European countries or, for that matter, almost everywhere in the world, America, we are taught in elementary school civics classes, welcomes citizens on the basis of ius soli, the law of the soil, rather than ius sanguinis.

America’s big schooling unions have long wielded outsize influence over politicians at every level of government, and nowhere is that more apparent than in their coordinated campaign against the Education Freedom Tax Credit.

Column: Teacher pension problems continue to get bigger – Champaign News-Gazette

“When you hear framings like ‘schools are underfunded’ or ‘schools are overfunded,’ usually those are missing the point. It’s that a growing share of what we already spend never reaches students, and until that problem is directly confronted, even the largest tax increases will struggle to deliver on their stated promises,” write Joshua Rauh and Gregory Kearney of Stanford’s Hoover Institute.

‘A mind of their own’: Left-wing believes 1619 is America’s ‘real’ anniversary

Sky News host Danica De Giorgio has questioned what American children are being taught in classrooms as some on the left believe 1619 is America’s “real” anniversary. “Some on the left, in particular, they don’t believe that July 4 is the real anniversary over in the US, they prefer 1619 – the year that the first slaves arrived,” Ms De Giorgio said. “I just wonder how that’s translating into the next generation. The left will have a mind of their own and they decide what they want to, but what, say for instance, are kids being taught in the classrooms about America’s history? Is there that threat of modern, ideological indoctrination?”
