Political Quotes

“our President said to D.C. schoolchildren, ``Tough luck.'' We do not get to hear a liberal say that very often, but the President's veto of D.C.'s scholarship bill last month is an in-your-face slap at D.C. parents and D.C. children. ``Too bad for you'' is the message. Too bad for you, that is, if you happen to be poor. Just look at the pattern. Failed, dangerous schools, and the liberals ask for more money. Congress votes for more money, and in return we get failed dangerous schools where almost no learning takes place. And so the liberals come back the following year and say, ``Look, the problem is the schools need more money.'' And so Congress spends more money, more money for everyone knows that the problem is not enough money. More failure, more school violence follows, and so the pattern is repeated year after year after year. The same people who would never one second accept dangerous, dysfunctional schools for their own kids are as determined as ever to deny school choice to those who do not have a choice. As a former teacher it makes me sad.”
