and…

“[Obama’s] Department of Education today granted waivers to eight of the 26 states (plus the District of Columbia) that applied in February for wiggle room under the No Child Left Behind Act.“

and…

“The Obama Administration… [is] turning to ‘executive authority’ to advance their policy priorities in local schools… the proposed waivers will only be granted to states on a conditional basis to those states that agree to implement the Department of Education’s chosen ‘reforms.’”

“A federal investigation [by the Obama Administration’s Department of Education] has begun in an Alabama school district after a Junior ROTC instructor allegedly expressed his belief that the Bible does not support the homosexual lifestyle during class.”

http://www.christianpost.com/news/doe-investigating-school-over-bible-and-homosexuality-comments-85891/print.html

[ASND would like to point out that the instructor only discussed what he believed the Bible taught, not what Barack Obama’s ROTC teaches.]

[And yes, all ROTC units ultimately report to the President of the United States, just like all other military units do.]
