About 95 % of Americans school-age children attend public schools. Our tax dollars support those schools whether we have children in school or support the schools philosophically.

Action Alert – Mars Area School District Shows Patriotism, But . . .
Too many schools today avoid any semblance of being patriotic. Too many times students are indoctrinated with anti-American propaganda, all in the guise of education. Some have accused Mars Area School District in Butler County of having a “USA” theme at the September 14th home football game to specifically disparage their opponent’s school which has a majority African-American student population. Thank the school superintendent and board president for their stand.
Action Alert – Constitution Day

Action Alert – Parental Rights Under Attack in East Penn School District

Action Alert – PSSA Testing –What is it and should you opt your child out?
Testing has become so prevalent for school students ever since No Child Left Behind was signed into law. Even though that law is gone and we now have the Every Student Succeeds Act, the testing remains. Pennsylvania has the PSSA test which are simply assessment test. They do not test the achievement of the student, but instead how well the school is at teaching to the test!! PA takes a whole month out of the year to subject 3-8 grade students to this test!
