Political Quotes

“there they go again. The Clinton administration is again attempting to force nationalized tests upon our schoolchildren. Unfortunately the President believes that our students must spend more precious class time taking nationalized tests created by some bureaucrats in Washington who think they know what is best for our children. As a former teacher, instead of testing our children again, we should give them more time to do what they are supposed to do in school, learn. What a novel idea. For the last year and a half, a bipartisan majority of the House and Senate has expressed the will of the people and fought the administration on the creation of national tests. Congress has made it clear to the President that Americans do not want another standardized national test. Please call the Federal bureaucrats back to their desk and out of the classrooms. Let the parents, teachers and local schools decide how best to test and educate our children. Local control is still the best control.”
