CONTINUING OUR LOOK AT THE VETERANS PARTY OF AMERICA PLATFORM, WE SEE THE FOCUS SHIFT TO EDUCATION AND FOREIGN POLICY YOU CAN READ THE ENTIRE PLATFORM AT: VeteransPartyofAmerica.org ********************************************************************************* VII. Education: The education of our youth is critical to our future as a nation. As federal mandates are a violation of the Tenth Amendment and the slow ruination of our education system, we will push to return schools back to local control. The elected officials in the local communities know what needs to be done. They live in these communities and visit the schools. Federal mandates involving high stakes testing, teacher evaluations, and Common Core State Standards will be done away with. Any decisions made with regards to education reform will not be made without input from teachers from across the nation, at the local levels. No one knows what needs to be done better than those in the classroom every day. No Federal monies will be given to “for profit” charter schools or private schools. VIII. Foreign Policy: American policies should not stretch to interference with the internal affairs of sovereign nations. As a member of the global community, we all work to make the lives of all world citizens better, but we should not mandate the affairs of other countries. IX. Foreign Aid: While it is in the best interest of the United States of America to help build and maintain other nations, it is more imperative to take care of our own people, first. Foreign Aid must be evaluated on a case by case basis with justification as to the benefit it will have on our country, not just another nation. A review should also be made of sending machinery and training in farming and related infrastructure rather than sending cash. Peace and stability is important as is the health and welfare of our own people.
