“Of course, he is well known for his dedication to public education in this country. I applaud him for that. I also want to recognize a President who has seen public education in its current condition to be an issue on which to speak out and on which to lead. And while the private school and the voucher may be criticized, we are creating a dynamic, now, in the marketplace of education, that means the public schools are going to have to compete a little more. In that competition, they will dramatically improve. The condition for educating young people, in my opinion--and I think it is a growing opinion in America--will rapidly increase.”
