I'm sorry, but Republicans have had control of both the House and Senate for 12 of the last 18 years and they have had all three houses for 10 of those 18 years and they haven't done shit. All they do is talk about bringing God back into school and ending the Board of Education, both of which will do nothing to fundamentally change the education system. There was No Child Left Behind, but that was a disaster of epic proportion.
If they want more conservative options more conservatives need to become teachers, they need to open more conservative charter schools and colleges and they need to focus on building a conservative base to the education system. But they don't do that because, deep down, they don't really want to change anything because bitching about liberal and socialist indoctrination is one of their favorite past times and it is another tool used to get people to vote against their own self interests.
Until they take reasonable, actionable steps towards changing the system, they need to shut the fuck up about it.

They don't want to change the public school system.
Betsy Davos illustrates their plan fairly well and is starting to execute it: Christian private schools & home schooling subsidized by the taxpayer.
One of my religious friends is part of the whole home schooling christian cult thing but she's soften up a lot the last few years because it's very difficult having 4 children at home 24/7 AND teaching them lol. Who knew?
So Trump attacking teachers is par for the course of demonizing anyone not home schooled or in a private christian school. they teach the kids that young now to hate anyone not like them.
