I'm "all for" local community control over schools and curriculum.
Yes, indeed.
For one, I don't like ANY overarching Federal or State Gov't sticking it's hands into every aspect of daily life.
Example: The majority of States are run by GOP'ers... want them to write the textbooks and study guide?
How about parents in Dallas or Austin? Should they run the schools or a board or committee in the State House?
There are books I'D LIKE for kids to read... and like minded parents should be able to make that choice.
Atlanta schools? Want the curriculum set by the State gov't?
