70 percent of voters in both California and Michigan in November '00 said no to statewide vouchers and yes to better public education. Good propaganda line. What they got instead is the S.O.S. They've always gotten.

"Yet you continue to spin your fairytales" Flap how can you say that with any sense of intelligence ? Aren't you the one living in a fairytale ? The public school system is a disaster and gets worse year after year. The answer is always more money. But money hasn't don't squat. The truth is it won't get better and I don't think the goal is to make it better. We don't know what the vouchers would do. However we do know what the public school system has become. If you people insist on maintaining this failed system, then it should be cleaned out. PURGED FROM THE TOP. All administrators should be fired and someone else put in charge. Change the coaches. Also 50 % of the people in charge should be conservative to reflect the population and to ensure that the goals of education aren't to create good little socialists.

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 sht 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.
