Bill -

To add to your message, the critics of the Education Bill (apparently from
the President Bush critics) should keep in mind that this was called
bi-partisan legislation and, in fact, was mainly written by ultra-liberal
Teddy (Chappaquiddick) Kennedy. So the liberal critics of the Education
Bill should be careful not to poop on one of their "saints".

The liberals have been very successful in the last 40 to 50 years in
dumbing-down the unsuspecting students and turning what is supposed to be an
educational system into a left wing, socialist indoctrination system that
has little room for teaching the basic fundamentals - reading, writing,
arithmetic, geography and history, both ancient and American.

I am sure that there are many on the List who can cite examples of the
nation's educational system being run primarily for the benefit of the
teachers and administrators, and to Hell with the students. I am so glad
that I graduated from high school in 1945 when we still had professional and
skilled teachers to learn from.

Personally, I don't think that the Federal Government has any business
interfering with and regulating our schools. We wouldn't have the mess that
the school systems are in now if their management had been left to the local
authorities. Just eliminating all the Federal reports would add millions of
man-hours that could be used to do some actual teaching of the students.
(What a novel idea!! Actually teaching - it's blasphemy in the eyes of the
teacher's union.)

It's one Hell of a way to treat our children!!!

Regards,

Gene N.

It's a good idea, but leave it to CONGRESS to screw it up!
