Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Whatever it takes, we must make certain that America's schools are temples of learning, and not drug dens."

"In the words of Thomas Jefferson: 'If a nation expects to be ignorant and free . . . it expects what never was and never will be.'"

"We don't face large deficits because Americans aren't taxed enough; we face large deficits because government spends too much."

"Teachers should be paid and promoted on the basis of their competence and merit."
