Unless, local authorities are teaching their own political agenda, instead of the teaching the basic skills needed to get a higher education. The local community is not given the opportunity to decide in most cases. It's done in secret meetings by school officials. Example, The Oakland school board wasted no time flexing its renewed political muscle, secretly and perhaps improperly naming an interim superintendent Wednesday one day after the state restored the board's authority over district personnel.

Sorry, you are wrong. The school board makes the decision. The school board is elected by local voters. That is how democracy works. If you don't like what the local school board is doing, vote them out. The federal government AND you don't have the right to tell other districts what they will or will not do to run their districts. If they are not serving the community, they get voted out by their constitutents...not by some entity in Washington D.C. or by you.
I ask you...don't you know? What kind of education did YOU get?
Then you need to see the reality of PE being downsized and/or cut because it isn't being tested in the No Child Left program. That is what is happening here.

Exactly...but No Child Left does not allow them that 'luxury'.
