On the recordOctober 14, 1998
they are not all liberals, but the Democrats have a position on education that I think needs to be addressed. That is, they keep asking the question, do Democrats represent the best for education, or do Republicans represent the best for education? What is wrong with this particular position is that it leaves out the parents and the local school authorities. This is not a political issue. It is not a question of which party can gain in an election by blaming the other person or taking credit for their particular position. What it is is a difference in between what the Democrats want to do for education and what the local school boards and the parents can do for education. We as conservatives want to step out of the way and point to the local school districts and to the parents and say it is not a political issue, it is not whether the Democrat or Republicans are doing the most, it is how we are taking care of our children.
