The federal government has inserted itself into nearly every area of our lives: healthcare, farming, business, and, of course, education.
Pat Tondini taught for 23 years, and she testified before a South Carolina legislative committee about her experience with federal overreach in our education system.
"I have experienced the misunderstanding, and the un-education of some of our young people when it comes to the history of the United States and especially the Constitution," she said. "It appears to me that they have rights and opportunities all mixed up."
"The Department of Education didn't even exist until 1980. Now they tell South Carolina that we have to use Common Core -- not that it's good or bad, but they shouldn't be telling us how to educate our citizens."
