Those who can....Teach!

My Man Mitch

Much has happened here in Indiana as part of the so-called "education reform" movement.  Governor Daniels, not yet announced Presidential candidate, is clearly going to tought these efforts as part of his domestic agenda.  Nevermind that he's cut the budgets for public schools every year he's been in office (recession or not).  Now, tax money is diverted to private schools (recession or not), teachers are easier to fire, and the floodgates are open for charters. Remember too that "my man mitch" is on record as saying, "if I could privatize education tomorrow, I'd do it."  He would sell off our schools, our kids, and our future.
