If this is true, and the real reason that they did not support the bill was to intentionally hurt schools that would be awful. I doubt this was the reason, and even in the slight chance it was, Bennet would never admit it to someone like that.
And this is not Gingrich's MO. If he was against the bill it was not to intentionlly hurt them so people would demand vouchers.
But I don't see how this relates to the monster rabbits in my yard.

I agree with the above. HUndt is certainly a partisan in his assertion and Bennett is no friend of Hundt's patron Clinton, so there is every interest on his part to twist Bennett's words for negative affect.
The simple reason not to support the internet thing is that the public schools can't teach fundamentals, reading, writing and math. Having the internet as a tool doesn't make it any more likely that they will fulfill their core mission. I.e. more good money after bad. The failure of the public schools demands an out of the box solution or at least an attempt at something more than the tried and true, spend money. Vouchers is one idea, but teacher's unions don't like vouchers, because it would expose the mass of its members as incompetents who would then be out of jobs. The teachers unions lovers in the dimwit party support this equation. Better to sacrifice the nations' youth than upset the marxists in the NEA. In the meantime give them the internet, Al Gore invented it, it must be good.
As for your rabbits, I settled the issue above, what more is the to discuss?
