“The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the handicapped.”

Oh look! UK students have a problem with debt too. When will leaders realize that education is critical for a peaceful future?
Higher education should be about opportunity, not lifelong debt.
A generation starting work today is being weighed down for decades by a system that keeps getting worse.

Interesting to learn about the education concerns in the UK and see how they might compare to the issues in America's public schools.
Decades of under investment have weakened our schools - and that weakens the whole country.
We need real funding & care for education now.

You don’t need a “Christian” curriculum to teach Christian values (or any other religion). Your own behavior does that. Imposing religion on schools not only is unAmerican, it’s counter to basic religious teachings that value voluntary belief over indoctrination. Nancy Bailey is right!
