Even a small shift in Jewish voting could make a big difference in Florida I was just watching PBS news' report on Education from Florida. Their High School test is called the "FCAT," and this is the first year you don't get a Diploma if you fail the test. The predictable screaming is going on, as the worst results are in the Miami area. They showed a "Maxine Waters" type State Legislator "inciting to riot" at a High School rally over it. The problem, as usual, according to her, was "M&Ms." As the Head of the State School system said, "We will never have enough money available to make the Educational Establishment happy." This new Nationwide testing system, flawed as it is, is going to bring these problems to a head.
