What was presented at the Capitol anyway?

There were 62 people at last month's meeting on government education funding, and the BNR did an article stating that all but one spoke in favor of throwing more tax dollars at government schools.

Here is the one who spoke against. The link is well worth the read.

In summary: "Funding public education is not a revenue problem, it a local expenditure problem."

Mandatory Union Education for Kids?

Read a more complete article than printed in the BNR here.

Ma Bell, head of WEAC, supports the bill. But why? After all, she stated she wanted to separate education from politics in a 9/15/07 feature article in the BNR. "Kids deserve great schools. Let's keep politics out of it." Bell went on, "In this spirit of renewal, let's decide that this new school year is the time to set politics aside when it comes to public education."

A textbook example of hypocracy in action.
