The Party of Commons advocates that schools should go back to the basics regarding the education of our students, including that schools should spend more time in teaching history, government, civics and environmental studies, pay more attention to physical education, or "gym" as it is casually called, and the arts, and that there should be less emphasis on lengthy homework assignments and standardized testing. The Party of Commons will work with parents, educators, teachers, and parent and teacher associations to formulate the best policy for our students.
The Party of Commons also proposes that mandated morality classes be implemented for all elementary school grades, and that elective courses be implemented for high school grades. The morality classes would not be religious in nature, but would instruct on universal, non-controversial concepts of morality that virtually everybody agrees with. School boards, generally, should rely on parents, teachers and educators to help design a program and a curriculum to start these new morality classes as soon as possible.
The Party of Commons also proposes high school elective courses on the scientific concept of intelligent design.
If you would like to run for the school board in Washington state with a "Commons" endorsement or as a member of "Commons," please, send an e-mail to the Party of Commons: partyofcommons@yahoo.com (write school board in the subject heading, please), as we support strong school boards with strong foundations.

"Coliseum" Prologue
With the news that Yahoo, Inc. will be shutting down our free websites later this year, the Party of Commons has decided to create "Coliseum," which will focus on our campaigns, our candidates and the powers-that-be that oppose us. "Coliseum" will pick up some of the slack from our Yahoo sites and explain our platforms, how we view the issues, which candidates we will put forward in the election arena, and which opponents we will have to fend off or challenge in order to win.
Our other new blog, "Senator," was previously going to be the sole election blog, but now that we have learned that we will lose some of our Yahoo sites, "Coliseum" and "Senator" will compliment each other. At the beginning, we will have to determine what will be the distinctions between these two, but the distinctions should become more obvious as time passes on.
"Senator" will probably be the blog for our manifestos, initiatives and what we think about the grand issues of the day, as well as information about our senators', from the Party of Commons Senate, campaigns and activities, whereas "Coliseum" will focus on less grandiose platforms as opposed to manifestos, more of the mundane though nonetheless important issues, and the campaigns of our rank-in-file members. This will not be a perfect separation, as "Coliseum" and "Senator" may blend together on issues and information in some instances, but we think that in due time, our readers will know what to expect from each of these blogs. "Coliseum" will probably dwell on the regions outside of the Pacific Northwest more than "Senator," as we had previously thought that "Senator" would do more of that, until we decided to create this blog.
A rundown on our other blogs:
Senator: http://commonsenate.blogspot.com
Evergreen: http://commonwash.blogspot.com
Focusing on the Pacific Northwest, generally, and the environment in particular.
Commoner: http://partyofcommons.blogspot.com
Our main blog which covers general issues and viewpoints about politics. "Commoner" has been giving a lot of information about the goings ons within the Party of Commons, but now that will be more of a function of "Senator" and "Coliseum."
