    Does this guy have any credibility after what he did as a Weather Underground terrorist?

    When was this? Evers was active in the early years of the Libertarian Party and a staunch supporter of the "cult of the omnipotent state" language. Always seen in tie and coat, pretty square looking character.

    Mr. Evers is also a member of the Republican Liberty Caucus.

    Ah, one thing I have issue with all these school reformers is there obsession with testing. I don't want my future children to be deemed failures by ridiculous multiple choice tests, yeah they are easy and grading is non subjective, but I don't see how the adequately reflect the child total knowledge. I do not want the federal government telling me what my children need to learn. How is it libertarian to support federal education standards? If the education system is based solely on performance in federally mandated multiple choice tests, I want my yet to be children out.

    Although I think I just showed that the current education system failed me in that last post. I don't know English.
