Back to demonizing dems for ideological reasons.
So, I take it your prescription for education, that you claim will do more to help folks out of poverty than anything "da dems" have done, is (i) nonunion charter schools and (ii) vouchers. That's what I glean from your postings. Nothing more.
We've now got a fair bit of data on how much impact each kind of program has.
Meh. Not nothing, but meh.
I do think there is the potential for bipartisan solutions in education, more so than in other areas, but it requires that everyone recognize, involve and work with all constituencies in good faith. The only exception to that I'll make are the creationists and segregationists, who are simply idiots in one case and despicable unAmerican human beings in the other.
