We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Are your children being taught, and I mean more than a minute, about these 52 words like my generation was? Are they taught the meaning behind them? Are they taught about the 39 men who risked everything, and I do mean everything, who signed the Constitution of the United States of America? I sincerely doubt it.
I do not blame the teachers. 95% of them just want to teach, to educate your children. Most end up spending some of their own money for supplies because our educational system, thanks to Randi "The Weiner" Weingarten and her ilk, has made the system top heavy. Starting with a bloated and useless Department of Education costing billions of dollars that could be much better spent at the state and local level.
In 1958, there was approximately one administrator or non-teaching staff member for every 2.36 public school teachers in the United States. This means that teachers significantly outnumbered non-teaching staff. But statistics for the 2021-2022 school year show the average ratio of teachers to administrators in public schools was approximately 13 to 1.
How did we let that happen? And since 1958, all we have done is drop lower and lower in educational rankings while our costs per student (number one in the world) have gone up and up.
The oath of office for Congress is essentially the same oath I took as a commissioned officer in the US Army:
I (state full name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, so help me God.
I for one do not think any of the assholes in Congress are living up to this part of their sacred oath to "well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office."
Prove me wrong!
