yeah the media is not liberal,lolol

DC Reporter Suspended For Reporting Facts About Obama

WJLA-TV, a Washington, D.C. ABC affiliate, suspended reporter Doug McKelway following his alleged “partisan” comments at a liberal rally on Capitol Hill marking the three-month anniversary of the Gulf oil spill.

McKelway stuck to the truth about BP’s political contributions and pending cap-and-trade legislation, newsworthy subjects given that the event’s organizers were lobbying to “pass legislation to end America’s addiction to oil and urged lawmakers to donate campaign money raised from the oil industry to the clean-up efforts in the Gulf.” more

>The two job family has hurt the time parents can spend with kids on their homework and at their schools. <

I think the single parent household has done massively more damage. Unfortunately, as Dan Quayle clearly demonstrated we aren't allowed to encourage people to behave in morally superior ways because the left believes in moral relativism and objects and ridicules the very notion of superior morals.

"...parents are every bit as important as teachers in a child's education..."

yep, bracey suggests that parent influence via poverty/not poverty is the most important factor. and sure, some kids in poverty do very well in school. behind nearly every successful "poverty child" is a parent or other primary caregiver who demands and supports high academic performance. yep.
