Education Bill Trap

U.S. Senator David Perdue lies to school children at David A. Perdue Primary School in Warner Robbins: “I think the best part of my job is the realization that one senator can make life better for people like you,” he told them.

While some of the students asked about Perdue’s favorite subjects when he was in school and stories from his childhood, others asked him about political issues. One of them touched on the status of an education reform bill, which has passed the Senate and awaits House approval.

“What we want to do is put more decisions about school back at the state and local level,” Perdue said. “We think the president will sign that, by the way.”

Contrary to what Perdue told a second grader, the bill he voted for and thinks Obama will sign, S. 1177, gives authority to an appointed bureaucrat in Washington D. C. to approve or deny education "plans" submitted by the states to receive any of the 123 billion dollars that the US Department of Education plans to use to bribe states into adopting "common assessments" (common core is a done deal) and submitting an electronic report card for each state to Congress. Congressman Jody Hice is the only Georgian who voted against this outrageous overreach of Congress. This will include public and private school students. More facts to come on this... Perdue may want to put more decisions about school back at the state and local level, but that is not what Perdue voted for in S. 1177.
