The Winchester Mystery House is much more apropos to house California’s Department of Education rather than the nondescript box marring the Capitol Mall in Sacramento.California’s education plan is much like the San Jose mansion built with the dollar of the rifle that won the West — both are the result of no clear design.Like the Winchester House doors that lead to nowhere, rooms tacked on with no unifying rhyme or reason, and endless journeys down corridors that end up being a waste of time, California’s education strategy is a hodgepodge of politically correct spur-of-the-moment endeavors and mandates. There are programs that are as superfluous to the goal of educating young people just like there are doors in the Winchester House that don’t lead anywhere except to solid walls.Both the state’s public school system and Winchester House have been crafted after years of twisted logic thinking the best way to protect against an under educated student as well as evil spirits is to divert them from a predictable progression or movement.The end result in San Jose is an infamously contorted mansion that has become a tourist attraction. The admission to enjoy the handiwork is $40 per adult.In Sacramento, the educrats and politicians have created a system where the annual cost per student is $8,482.
