Validation

The progressives have validated that public education is failing.

By proclaiming the intent to relax immigration regulations to actively encourage, promote, and facilitate the immigration of highly educated and proficient scientists from other countries, the progressives are telling us that our country's public education system is incapable, at present and for the foreseeable future, of producing such individuals.

For this we can point to many folks, starting with teacher unions and including university/college administrators.

Our public education system(s) provide(s) for transgender access to sports teams of the individual's choice; diversity training; worthless college majors; protecting teachers who are sexual predators; job protection by tenure over job performance; the common core; failure for the African American youth; grade inflation; huge student loan debt; abysmal language arts and math proficiency; silence of free speech on university/college campuses; social promotion; advocacy for social issues rejected by the majority of citizens; elimination of awards for superior performance; and reduced standards.

But what our public education system(s) does/do not provide are the educated scientists needed for today and tomorrow.

It is a small but positive step that progressives are finally acknowledging it.
