    There is of course the fact that the Democratic Congress cut the funding, but don't you go worrying yourself with facts when there's Bush-bashing to be done.

    "importance of free & fair education 'for all'." - what do you call the pathetic excuse called govt education is????

    YEAH, it is everywhere you dunce. Every kid has the same opportunity to fail.

    It is the pitiful teacher's union that has destroyed education and any hope that we might "educate" our young folk. It is the NEA that is going to make sure that America fails over the next XXXX number of years. There are plenty of brilliant children that are brought down by a useless union that only wants to make sure that "teachers" make a buck and the kids fail.
