Fox News: ‘There Really Shouldn’t Be Public Schools’ Anymore, Kids Taught ‘Meaningless Liberal Crap’

Two Fox News hosts go off on the very idea of public education, suggesting America eliminate it altogether.

Discussing the news that an Oklahoma lawmaker is trying to ban AP U.S. History courses and replace them with classes that teach from a selection of religious sermons, the Ten Commandments, and several Ronald Reagan speeches, Fox News‘ “Outnumbered” on Thursday went off on America’s entire public schools system.

“There really shouldn’t be public schools, should there?,” suggested co-host Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery, opening the segment. “I mean we should really go to a system where parents of every stripe have a choice, have a say in the kind of education their kids get because, when we have centralized, bureaucratic education doctrines and dogmas like this, that’s exactly what happens.”

Later in the segment, co-host Andrea Tantaros said America should just “abolish the Department of Education.” 

She then went off on “government bureaucracy, and Washington, D.C. dictating what kids should be taught.”

Kids, Tantaros exclaimed, are “not even getting the basic education because they’re getting a bunch of this meaningless liberal crap, every day.”
