Let's Finnish With This Christian/Tea Party Propaganda

Throughout the US, Christian Tea Partyists are trying to dismantle the American Public Schools. Pushing for government funding for religious schools (obviously a violation of the Constitution), they say "competition" will improve the schools. Add to that, a lot of teaching to the test, and we'll improve, they say. Well, they're wrong.

A great article in THE SMITHSONIAN magazine shows the case of Finland, and how a country recently inundated with immigrants can have an education system that actually TEACHES. No private school. No standardized tests. Just real learning.
