State Of Education:

I attended the Eagle form and took notes on the various speakers. This is what a speaker had to say education. Any miss information provided in these notes is the fault of the note taker.

 

  • The 10th amendment talks about rights that are not specifically listed for the federal government or rights for the states. We need to use our state rights
  • The 2011 Gov. Herbert said Utah is not a colony. Might be related to getting education funding.
  • Problems with Utah leadership.
  1. The adoption of common core.
  2. Medicaid expansion with federal strings. Alternative Utah access plans where doctors would be pay for those in need. But that cost to be then transferred over to the patient’s that do pay insurance.
  • Eight years ago Gov. Herbert took office and at the time lesson 5.2 a federal money came from the federal government. Now 7%. (Not sure if I wrote these notes down accurately)
  • if we wanted to not have the federal government control our schools in Utah that we could deny the 300 million that we get from the feds. 300 million is half of our current excess budget
  • state rights mean that we need to claim our state sovereignty.
  • When freedom flourishes businesses grow
  • Reagan was once asked: what have you learned about America. His answer “all great changes begin at the dinner table.”
