Should taxpayer dollars be used to fund private education?

Glatt: Well maybe it was just where I came from. I think my school paid almost three times less than the surrounding schools so that issue got pounded in my head year after year. Teachers do get a lot of benifits so if a teacher has a spouse that makes a decent living they could live pretty well together.

An educated populace is a liability for our current admin and they know it. You can't have a democracy with out an educated populace.

Wise words. We don't elect officals on issues anymore (did we ever?) but on popularity. Sometimes I get the feeling that the presidential race is more suited to be a Homecoming King kind race than an actual poltical race.
