Politicians would still have to be elected, just once they had served they could not enter public sector professions again.

Wait a minute now.  You originally wrote that elected officials would be forbidden from entering the PRIVATE sector again, now you're saying it's the PUBLIC sector.  I'm confused.  If they are allowed to enter the private sector then that means they can become lobbyists.

Yes you are indeed confused; picking up trash in a public park is not the same as lobbying. If you continue presenting parts of my statements as the full statement I will think you just aren't trying.

Would schools be able to teach about electricity?  I've never seen electricity.  I've seen machines move because of something that others call electricity but I've never seen electricity with my own eyes.  I can't tell you what color it is.  I can't tell you what shape it resembles.  I've never seen electricity.  How could this be taught in schools?

Is that the best you can do? reread what I said and create an answer after you understand it.

You want to be ruled by full-time career politicians and you want to ban the teaching of anything which, in your opinion, lacks a factual basis.  Isn't stuff like that a recipe for tyranny?

Not at all Coleman, I'm not against the teaching of anything as long as it is not thought as fact without supporting evidence.

I'm still not understanding this.  YOU provide a list of unacceptable subjects; that is, subjects which you regard as lacking supporting evidence?

True, and if there is not supporting evidence, such as trickle down economy it is thought as theory. What is it about this that is so hard for you to grasp?
