The NEA has been spending millions in advertisement against school vouchers for years. Advertising does work, that's why it's a multibillion dollar industry.
Targeted vouchers of the kind President Bush has put forth has broad support. Unfortunately, none of the vouchers initiatives recently brought to a vote were of the same variety as the President's.
As I've opined here many times in the past, the problem with public education is the structure of the system. Change the structure and you change the system. Change the system and you begin to help those most in need of help.
The do nothing leftists politicians like Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Joe (shift my position depending on the month) Lieberman, and Jesse Jackson, who send their kids to exclusive private schools don't give a sh*t about helping the underprivileged and poor kids in America. As long as my kids can be kept out of those screwed up schools, let them continue to ruin another generation of children.
Year after year the schools in inner cities continue their abysmal record of accomplishment, and year after year union thugs spin their lies that vouchers will *destroy* something which is already broke. Mark my word flapjack, one day the public will become tone deaf to the fearmongering lies perpetuated by your power hungry, life force sucking NEA, and respond with an across the board call for vouchers. It may not be this year, or next year, but it will come.
I sincerely hope it comes soon for the sake of our children who most need the help. |
