A lifetime supply of sugar cream pie and free parking for Pascal! If we don’t “cut to the chase” on education’s upstream issues of single-parenting-as-lifestyle-choice, educational overhead, and immigration reform based on ‘citizens first’, you can continue to “count the social cost that comes from government school failure”.
.
It’s called a dysfunctional detachment from reality. Our present economic plight is the result. Which path do we want?

To Pascal:
I like the way you cut to the chase. 2 thumbs up!

I think we need to start over.

Article 1, Section 1. WE DECLARE, That all people are created equal; that they are endowed by their CREATOR with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that all power is inherent in the people; and that all free governments are, and of right ought to be, founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and well-being. For the advancement of these ends, the people have, at all times, an indefeasible right to alter and reform their government.

Pascal? May I please repost the comment above over at HFFT? I did not see that interview and I believe this information needs to be more widely known.

Listened to Tony Dungy on Rush yesterday,he was also on Dennis Miller and then Letterman. He has a new book out. He noted to Rush that 19% males graduate from IPS. So, you don’t have to look elsewhere to see billions down the drain. That is, you need to count the social cost that comes from government school failure along with the out of pocket costs of running a day care facility. Dungy has had success. Name a school superintendent in Indiana who ever had similar success. Can’t do it-they have lied for decades about their graduation rates. All of them. In IPS,then, 81% find it of little or no value, that is, the prisioners of IPS find it so. That, in voting terms, is a landslide. The money wasted in government schools with similar results overwhelms anything the fiscal fool, Kernan, has ever measured. He never did anything about the wastes when he had the big boy seat, did he?

From debate on this blog, I think Mr. Brown could get some formidable intellectual horsepower to buttress his side of the argument (if he cared to). I don’t believe this to be anybody’s slam dunk & sounds damn entertaining.

It’s no contest & Mr. Brown won’t risk that revelation. However, should AB find it within himself to accept the challenge, Gleaners food bank would surely appreciate the proceeds.
